ALEKO & BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE OPERA- Sergei Rachmaninoff & Béla Bartók
GREEK NATIONAL OPERA - STAVROS NIARCHOS HALL 12, 14, 16, 19, 21 & 23 NOVEMBER
Aiming to expand its repertoire, the Greek National Opera presents one more ambitious opera double bill, featuring two rarely performed one-act operatic masterpieces, written between the 19th and 20th centuries: Aleko, by Sergei Rachmaninoff (1892) and Bluebeard’s Castle, by Béla Bartók (1918).
GNO's new production of Rachmaninoff’s Aleko, is directed by the unique Fanny Ardant, five years after her remarkable success with Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, while Bluebeard’s Castle direction is signed by Themelis Glynatsis.
Music Direction: Fabrizio Ventura
With the Orchestra and Chorus of the Greek National Opera and leading Greek opera singers.
THE ARTBASSADOR provided the Orchestra with the music material of the work "ALEKO" by S. Rachmaninoff, on behalf of the Publishing House BOOSEY & HAWKES UK.
