The Athens and Epidaurus Festival 2016 will begin this year on June
10, with a production of Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Aida" at the Herod
Atticus Odeon beneath the Acropolis, performed by the National Opera
and directed by Enrico Castiglione, an Italian director and set designer
noted for his "cinematic" approach and realism. The opera is in Italian,
with Greek and English subtitles.
The next event is the Festival Open Party on June 14, with a concert
featuring a number of Greek musicians and bands at the Piraeus 260
venue. A full list of the events is available on the festival website
www.greekfestival.gr.
The organisers on Wednesday presented the festival's official trailer,
directed by Michalis Konstantantos with graphic animation by Giorgos
Karagiorgos and music by Michalis Delta. The trailer can be viewed on
YouTube at the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No65c_rh6Nw.
Tickets for the events are available either through the festival website
or can be booked by phone (210 3272000) or bought from the Athens Festival
