Aida
by
Giuseppe Verdi –A new Greek National Opera
production from the Taormina Opera Festival
Aida
is mostly known for its triumphal march, an
impressive page of grand ballet music. The
opera’s popularity is also due to its background, as
the story unfolds in Egypt of the Pharaohs, in a
mythical era. But this is only one of the aspects of
Verdi’s
Aida
. Conductor: Myron Michailidis (10 &
11/6) - Ilias Voudouris (12 & 15/6). In the role of
Aida, Cellia Costea (10 & 12/6) and Anda-Louise

Vietri (10, 12 & 15/6) and Sebastián Ferrada (11/6).

Carmen
by
Georges Bizet – A new production
Carmen
, one of the most iconic French operas,
remains as provocative as when it was first per-
formed, 140 years ago. The main character, a
gypsy girl, is fighting for her freedom and the right
to choose her lovers, instead of being chosen by
them. She is a menace for a male-dominated and
patriarchal society. The only solution is to be elim-
inated. This is done by love-stricken and
“betrayed” Don José. An unconventional storyline,
expressed through the equally unconventional at
the time, and very popular today, music of Georges
Bizet. Conductor: Loukas Karytinos. Director:
Stephen Langridge. In the role of Carmen, Rinat
Shaham (24 & 26/7) and Géraldine Chauvet (27 &
29/7). In the role of Don José, Dimitris Paksoglou
(27 & 29/7). With the participation of the Orchestra,
Choir, Ballet and Children’s Choir of the Greek
National Opera. [JULY 24, 26, 27 & 29 / ODEON OF
