ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
One of the works that are rarely presented, “Sister Beatrice”, the only opera composed by Dimitri Mitropoulos, is performed in concert form by the City of Athens Symphony Orchestra and Chorus with a glorious cast of singers from Greece and abroad. It is a religious drama (and according to its composer a “miracle”) in three acts in text by the Belgian symbolist poet Maurice Maeterlinck. The plot takes place in a monastery during the 14th century and focuses on Sister Beatrice’s dilemma between her love for prince Belidor and the engagements of the monastic life.
