The occasions that function on this tribute will current treasured, never-before-seen supplies drawn from the GNO Historic Archive, which lately has acquired some main collections.
The tribute is curated by Giorgos Koumendakis, the inventive director GNO.
"The event of the a centesimal anniversary of the delivery of Maria Callas offers us the chance to redefine this large phenomenon as a voice and naturally as a character," he says. "And to see the issues she contributed to the renewal of opera. We're speaking in regards to the period earlier than Maria Callas and the period after Maria Callas. So we want, on this event, to point out features of her musical character, which I consider are essential, to the brand new era: a era that does not know precisely who Maria Callas was."
A significant new co-production
The main occasion of the tribute is a manufacturing of Cherubini’s Medea. It's the Greek Nationwide Opera’s first main co-production with three main North American opera homes: the Metropolitan Opera in New York Metropolis, the Canadian Opera Firm, and the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
The manufacturing, staged by the celebrated opera director David McVicar, opened the Met’s 2022/23 season and shall be offered on the Greek Nationwide Opera this April.
