Fotaprogram2014.Pdf July 6, 2014 My Dear Friends and Festival Supporters, This year’s 10th Annual Festival of the Aegean is truly a milestone. Just 10 years ago, it would have been impossible for me to have imagined that the very first notes of Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia on July 1, 2005, would lead to a unique, thriving, and critically-acclaimed series of events and concerts, which are coinciding today with the 150th Anniversary of the Apollo Theater, “La piccola Scala.” I remember coming to Syros from Mykonos some years ago, wondering if it was really possible that there was a great opera theater on this small but important Cycladic Island. But from the moment I walked up the 11 steps and through the doors and into the theater, my doubts were blown away. This was the same feeling, I might add, that I had experienced when I entered Carnegie Hall for the first time on November 24, 1983. How was it possible that there was such a magnificent theater on this Cycladic Island? I consider myself so fortunate to have arrived at the theater at that particular time in my life. Immediately, I could envision the possibility of presenting a Festival based in the Apollo Theater, and since 2005 that possibility has become an annual reality. Now, ten years and more than a hundred performances later, with the support of the Friends of the Festival, we have presented thousands of world-class artists, including 55 choruses, 10 orchestras, hundreds of soloists, directors, technical support staff, and members of the Greek Opera Studio in 16 operas, Plateia 2 concerts, sacred music concerts, children’s concerts, ballet, theater, popular music, jazz, 3 symphonies, and oratorios, to appreciative audiences. The Island of Syros, and especially the City of Ermoupolis, has become famous throughout Greece and beyond as a summer destination for the very highest level of cultural programming. In 2011, in recognition of the Festival’s artistic achievements, the Athens-based Union of Greek Theatre and Music Critics named it the “Best Festival in Greater Greece.” Special mention must be made of my friend, Mayor Yannis Dekavallas. We met 15 years ago during my first visit, and we have maintained an abiding friendship. Without him, there would be no Festival of the Aegean. He has been supportive both personally and professionally, always kind, always personable, always respectful, and always sincere. As he ends his tenure as Mayor after 24 years, a new mayor, Giorgos Marangos, will head the government in Syros. I look forward to working closely with Mayor Marangos and the new Council to help move this Festival into its second decade. I would like to thank Eilana Lappalainen-Tiboris for her tireless dedication, professionalism, artistry, enthusiasm, and vision in the growth and development of this Festival. And, lastly, to all of you who have supported the Festival of the Aegean, a big thank you comes from the bottom of my heart. You are all so important to what this venture has become. Most sincerely, Peter Tiboris General Director, Festival of the Aegean Honorary Citizen of Syros Σύρα, 6 Ιουλίου 2014 Αγαπητοί φίλοι και υποστηρικτές του Φεστιβάλ Αιγαίου, Επιτρέψτε μου να χαρακτηρίσω “ορόσημο” τη διοργάνωση του 10ου Φεστιβάλ Αιγαίου, όχι μόνον διότι πριν από 10 χρόνια, όταν ακούγονταν οι πρώτες νότες του έργου του Rossini “Ο κουρέας της Σεβίλλης”, την 1η Ιουλίου 2005, ήταν μάλλον αδύνατο να φανταστεί κανείς ότι θα φτάναμε σε ένα μοναδικό, εντυπωσιακό και δημοφιλές μουσικό γεγονός, αλλά και διότι αυτή η συγκεκριμένη διοργάνωση συμπίπτει με τα 150 χρόνια από την εναρκτήρια παράσταση του Θεάτρου “Απόλλων”. Ερχόμενος από τη Μύκονο πριν μερικά χρόνια, θυμάμαι, σαν σε όνειρο, ότι αναρωτιόμουν εάν πράγματι υπάρχει θέατρο όπερας σε αυτό το μικρό αλλά σπουδαίο νησί των Κυκλάδων. Οι αμφιβολίες μου όμως εξανεμίσθηκαν μόλις ανέβηκα τα 11 σκαλιά και πέρασα τις πόρτες του θεάτρου. Ένιωσα να με γεμίζει το ίδιο συναίσθημα που είχα νιώσει περνώντας για πρώτη φορά την είσοδο του Carnegie Hall στις 24 Νοεμβρίου 1983. Πως είναι δυνατόν να υπάρχει ένα τόσο υπέροχο θέατρο σε ένα Κυκλαδονήσι; Και πόσο τυχερός ήμουν να περάσω την είσοδο αυτού του θεάτρου, σ’ αυτή τη συγκεκριμένη στιγμή της ζωής μου; Το όραμα της δημιουργίας ενός μεγάλου φεστιβάλ βασισμένου στο θέατρο “Απόλλων” με κυρίευσε και από τότε αυτό το όραμα έγινε μία ετήσια πραγματικότητα. Σε αυτά τα 10 γεμάτα μουσική χρόνια, απολαύσαμε 55 χορωδίες, 10 ορχήστρες, εκατοντάδες σολίστ, διευθυντές ορχήστρας, στελέχη τεχνικής υποστήριξης, μέλη του Greek Opera Studio, με τη συμμετοχή χιλιάδων διεθνούς φήμης καλλιτεχνών, σε 16 όπερες, κονσέρτα στην πλατεία Μιαούλη, κονσέρτα θρησκευτικής μουσικής, παιδικά κονσέρτα, μπαλέτα, θεατρικές παραστάσεις, λαϊκή μουσική, jazz, συμφωνίες και ορατόρια, τα οποία εκτιμήθηκαν 2 3 από ένα πολύ αγαπητό κοινό. Το νησί της Σύρου έγινε ο καλοκαιρινός προορισμός ποιοτικών πολιτιστικών δρώμενων, φήμη η οποία εκτείνεται πέραν των ελληνικών συνόρων. Δράττομαι της ευκαιρίας να κάνω ιδιαίτερη μνεία στον απερχόμενο, μετά από 24 χρόνια Δήμαρχο κ. Γιάννη Δεκαβάλλα, χωρίς την υποστήριξη του οποίου δεν θα είχε υπάρξει Φεστιβάλ Αιγαίου. Με τον κ. Δεκαβάλλα γνωριστήκαμε πριν 15 χρόνια και σε όλο αυτό το διάστημα με τίμησε με την φιλία του και με την υποστήριξή του, τόσο σε προσωπικό όσο και σε επαγγελματικό επίπεδο. Υπήρξε πάντοτε ευγενής, προσηνής, ευπρεπής και ειλικρινής. Καθώς κλείνει ένα μεγάλο κεφάλαιο στην Τοπική Αυτοδιοίκηση της Σύρου, ένα νέο επίσης μεγάλο κεφάλαιο ανοίγει με την Δημαρχεία του κ. Γιώργου Μαραγκού. Προσδοκώ να συνεργαστώ το ίδιο στενά, τόσο με το νέο Δημοτικό Συμβούλιο όσο και το νέο Δήμαρχο κ. Γιώργο Μαραγκό, ώστε από κοινού να οδηγήσουμε το Φεστιβάλ Αιγαίου στην δεύτερη δεκαετία του. Τέλος, θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω τη σύζυγό μου Eilana Lappalainen-Tiboris, για την ακούραστη προσήλωσή, τον επαγγελματισμό, την καλλιτεχνία, τον ενθουσιασμό και την οραματικότητα της, στην ανάπτυξη και μεγέθυνση του θεσμού. Σε όλους εσάς δε, που έχετε υποστηρίξει το Φεστιβάλ Αιγαίου και έχετε συμβάλλει καθοριστικά να μεγαλουργήσει αυτός ο θεσμός, ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ από τα βάθη της καρδιάς μου. Με βαθιά εκτίμηση, Peter Tiboris Γενικός Διευθυντής Επίτιμος Δημότης Σύρου 4 5 YANNIS DEKAVALLAS Mayor of the Municipality of Syros-Hermoupolis With sincere appreciation for his support of the Festival of the Aegean during its first decade Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, July 6, 9, 11, 2014, at 20:30 Apollo Theater (“La piccola scala”) – 150th Anniversary RIGOLETTO MUSIC BY GIUSEPPE VERDI LIBRETTO BY FRANCESCO MARIA PIAVE Premiered on March 11, 1851, at La Fenice in Venice, thirteen years before the opening performance in the Apollo Theater on April 20, 1864.

It is a story as timeless as human feelings. During the 150th anniversary season of the beautiful Apollo Theater, we decided to set Rigoletto on the island of Syros itself, in the 1950s, shortly after Greece’s civil war. Act I takes place in the Plateia in front of the palace and in a street near the port. Here, the Duke has a grand party, and Rigoletto hides away his daughter Gilda. Act II takes place at the Duke’s yacht. Act III takes place in the area that is today the Hotel Nissaki.

The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

    #OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .

    DIMITRIS PAKSOGLOU – Tenor Born in Greece. Dimitris Paksoglou first embarked on a career as an actor and studied at the National Superior School of Drama. As an actor he went on to appear in important Greek theatres, including the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, the Greek National Theatre and the Athens Megaron. He then decided to make a career change and studied singing at the Athens National Conservatory under the guidance of the famous baritone Kostas Paskalis and Marina Krilovici, graduating with distinction. He moved to France where he appeared with several opera companies and his success lead Greek National Opera to offer him a contract as a principal tenor. He continues to appear in leading roles with the company, which he combines with guest appearances abroad. Greek Dimitris Paksoglou does not sing Cavaradossi with the usual slightly emotional Mediterranean glow. His tenor is more powerfully virile, but also with beautiful splashes of tenderness. He makes his famous song for life with considerable intensity.

    Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus Program 21 and 22 June 2019 Oedipus The iconic story of Oedipus comes alive in Robert Wilson’s series of breathtaking, distinctive tableau vivant. The celebrated director follows Oedipus’ story chronologically, without faithfully adapting Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, from the moment of Oedipus’ birth and his abandonment as an infant to the moment of his self-inflicted blinding, following the horrific revelations: from the first light of birth to the last light he sees before it all goes black. Two ‘witnesses,’ a man and a woman, spin his tale, the life and times of Oedipus, speaking across the centuries.
