China: Guangming Culture & Art Center, Shenzhen, China
The Greek National Opera is traveling for the first time to Shenzhen, the fastest-growing city in China and the third largest in population after Beijing and Shanghai –with more than 17 million inhabitants–, to present La traviata in Nikos S. Petropoulos’ iconic staging. The two performances of Verdi’s masterpiece will be showcased at Shenzhen’s new cultural centre, the architectural jewel Guangming Culture & Art Center. The production, conducted by Lukas Karytinos, will be presented in China, featuring the GNO ensembles –Orchestra, Chorus, and members of the Ballet– while the leading roles will be performed by prominent Greek soloists, including Vassiliki Karayanni, Dimitra Kotidou, Yannis Christopoulos, Konstantinos Klironomos, and Dionysios Sourbis. The tour of La traviata to China is made possible by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) to enhance the Greek National Opera’s artistic outreach.
