As part of the Project “SUB.1.1.6 Attracting individuals aged 65 and over and individuals with disabilities to events of the Greek National Opera”

Free concerts at elderly care centres across Attica continue for the 2024/25 season, aiming to connect seniors with the enchanting world of opera and promote active aging.

Through a rich repertoire of arias and duets from popular operas and operettas, as well as songs from the Greek interwar period, Rafi Music Theatre Company (Anastasia Kotsali, Leto Messini) and accordionist Kostas Zigkeridis will take the residents of Care Centres for the Elderly on a journey back in time, encouraging them to activate their memory, sing, and dance. The programme also aims at giving seniors a chance to engage in creative activities that foster socialization and interaction, as well as at connecting them with the art opera and contemporary social life.

The Hellenic Ministry of Culture is the funding body for the Project “SUB.1.1.6 Attracting individuals aged 65 and over and individuals with disabilities to events of the Greek National Opera”. This project is part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0.” and  is funded by the European Union –  NextGenerationEU.
