ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The Pallas Theatre was filled with emotion, devotion and music as Andreas Katsigiannis’ new music work “With Glory”, based on texts by Alexandros Fotinos, was presented with great success in a sold-out performance on Monday, 17 February 2025. The work, which completes the “Great Hours” trilogy, captivated the audience with its deep emotional power, musically following the course of Christ’s last days, His Passion, from drama and sacrifice, to His Resurrection, to light and eternity, to His Ascension and Pentecost.
The performance highlighted the harmonious partnership between Eastern tradition and Western music, creating a unique atmosphere. An important part of the evening’s success was played by the top performers, who provided the audience with a high quality spiritual and artistic experience.
Dimitris Bassis, the internationally renowned baritone Dimitris Platanias, Aspasia Stratigou and Yiannis Dionysiou took to the stage of the Pallas. They were joined by the excellent Ribale Wehbé from Lebanon, who captivated the audience with her performance of Holy Week hymns.
The narrator was the actor Tasos Nousias, who added a dramatic dimension to the work and enhanced the theatricality of the performance. The concert was accompanied by the 30-member “Chorus Vivendi” of Yannis Vryzakis, while 14 top Greek musicians, led by conductor Stathis Soulis and orchestrated by Dimitris Siambos, gave life and infinite dynamics to the compositions of Andreas Katsigiannis.
