Activities for children inspired by the new production The Magic Pillows.
The famous, much-translated and award-winning story by Eugene Trivizas is adapted by the author himself for the first time into an opera for the whole family set to premiere in the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the GNO at the SNFCC in November 2021. On the occasion of this new fascinating GNO production, ten children aged 8 to 11 will have the unique chance to experience a sleepover in the Greek National Opera at the SNFCC. Music and movement workshops, dressing-up as characters inspired by the performance, a thematic dinner and breakfast accompanied by a small musical ensemble, and storytelling are just some of the activities, in which the children who will spend the night at the Opera will participate.
Planning/Implementation: Eugene Trivizas & TBA
Ages: 8 to 11 years old
Implementation schedule: 4, 5 December 2021
