The PPA S.A. invites art admirers and all the citizens of Piraeus to attend the Open Trial of the Orchestra of the National Opera to be held within the port area (Gate E9 opposite Agios Spyridon, Miaouli Coast) on Thursday, September 26th 2013, at 18:00.
The music event, which will take about an hour, includes works of the new Season of Opera and quotes (arias) from the opera “Cinderella” by Rossini, “Rigoletto” by Verdi and “Nutcracker” by Tchaikovsky.
The Orchestra of Opera will be directed by the conductor Jean - Christophe Sarron and pieces will be performed by solists Vasilis Kavagias, Vasiliki Karagianni, Eirini Karagianni and Giannis Christopoulos.
The open concert of the Orchestra of the National Opera is presented for the first time in Piraeus through a partnership with the Opera and PPA, in order to bring the lyrical art close to city life, residents, visitors and even passersby from the port. Those who attend will experience up close the magic atmosphere of the preparation of a large orchestra.
Note that the previous open trial in July in Athens was attended by 3.000 spectators, while the recent tribute to Maria Callas had 5.000 spectators.
It goes without saying that the entrance is free to the public.
