Christmas Opera Gala of the Greek National Opera
Free entrance (first-come, first-served)
The festive atmosphere of Christmas fits perfectly with the bright, luminous world of the opera. The most tender of love stories, such as that of Mimi and Rodolfo in Puccini’s La bohème, take place throughout the Christmas holiday. The Greek National Opera presents for the first time operatic melodies in the impressive space of the Foyer, in a Christmas opera gala with its renowned soloists, accompanied by a piano.
With the participation of GNO soloists: Vassiliki Karayanni (soprano), Elena Kelessidi (soprano), Antonis (Antony) Koroneos (tenor), Petros Magoulas (bass), Maria Mitsopoulou (soprano), Marisia Papalexiou (mezzo-soprano), Dionyssis Sourbis (baritone), Yannis Christopoulos (tenor).
