Maria Callas of Athens

 Maria Callas was born Anna Maria Sofia Cecilia Kalogeropoulou on 2 December 1923 in New York but it was in Athens that she began her incredible career. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of her birth, the Greek National Opera pays tribute to her with a wonderful production of Cherubini’s Medea (directed by David McVicar), an opera she revived in 1953. The role is taken over by Anna Pirozzi from 25 April 2023.

An exhibition and visual art installations ‘Unboxing Callas’ are also planned as well as an Opera Gala at the magnificent Odeon of Herod Atticus in September 2023 and numerous other events.
