ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The Greek National Opera (Greek: Εθνική Λυρική Σκηνή, Ethniki Lyriki Skini) is the country’s state lyric opera company, located in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center at the south suburb of Athens, Kallithea. It is a public corporation under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Culture and administered by the Board of Trustees and its Artistic Director, currently George Koumedakis.
The organization is responsible for a wide variety of activities, including the presentation of opera performances, ballet, and musical theatre; in addition, symphony concerts, special presentations of opera and ballet performances for children, and the Opera and Ballet Studio help young artists achieve professional standards.
The GNO has created and now organizes a national archive of music, a music library, a costume museum, stage models, musical scores and many items from great performances presented by the company. The company tours both within Greece and internationally.
Performance venues
The performances of the Greek National Opera are presented on three stages:
The Stavros Niarchos Hall is the main location for opera and ballet.
The Alternative Stage which presents musicals and alternative productions.
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is the summer venue for the opera productions with the collaboration of the Athens Festival.
Recently, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation has funded the construction of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, a new venue since December 2016 for the Greek National Opera, the Greek National Library and a cultural and environmental park at the Faliron area in Attica. The new 28,000 m² (301,000 sq. ft.) auditorium is an architectural jewel, designed to enhance the opera experience for patrons and artists alike.
