The educational programme involving interdisciplinary artistic and pedagogical activities 3rd Bell Opera is back for a fifth consecutive year, sponsored by Piraeus Bank. The programme invites primary education educators and students to take part in a unique introduction to the captivating world of music theatre. It is aimed at primary schools in the Attica Region, and its goal is to actively involve participants in the creative process of preparing and presenting a music theatre performance using modern and groundbreaking tools. The final performance is scheduled to take place in the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the Greek National Opera at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, on 1 June 2025.
The 3rd Bell Opera programme runs for a fifth consecutive year. It is sponsored by Piraeus Bank as part of its multifaceted Corporate Social Responsibility programme, “EQUALL—For a Society of Equal People,” and falls under the Young Generation pillar.
During the 2024/25 season, the programme will focus on the new music theatre piece Journey to the Land of the Ugly, exploring the concepts of inclusion, harmonious co-existence through respect for individuality, acceptance, and appreciation of diversity. The work was composed by Trevor Grahl, Andriana Minou penned the libretto, and Theano Metaxa is responsible for the stage direction. The musical ensemble will be conducted by Kyriaki Kountouri. The creative team of educators/artists comes complete with Sofia Ketetzian (soloist) and Ilias Vogiatzidakis (actor).
