The famous Italian soprano Carmen Giannattasio reprises the demanding title role, having recently portrayed Norma at the Bayerisches Staatsorchester in Munich. The creative, restless Spanish group, always eager for experimentation, will present their own take on Norma, drawing inspiration from poetic melodies, including Bellini’s well-known “Casta diva” aria. Conductor Georgios Balatsinos • Directing - Set design Carlus Padrissa – La Fura dels Baus • Costume design Chu Uroz • Performers Carmen Giannattasio, Cellia Costea, Arnold Rutkowski, Tassos Apostolou et al.

Thirty-one years after her first, iconic concert at the Odeon in 1988, Karaindrou will deliver a spellbinding concert in two parts. In the first part, audiences will enjoy Karaindrou’s latest works from the ECM New Series album Tous des oiseaux, which has met with international success. The album, featuring a cover by the acclaimed artist Christos Bokoros, includes two pieces, the music for the performance Tous des oiseaux, written and directed by Wajdi Mouawad, 7 artistic director of the Théâtre national de la Colline in Paris, and the music for the Iranian filmmaker Payman Maadi’s film Bomb, A Love Story, which was nominated at the 12th Asia Pacific Screen Awards. The second part will feature some of Karaindrou’s most memorable works from her collaborations with Theodoros Angelopoulos, Tonia Marketaki, Margarethe von Trotta, Christoforos Christofis, Jules Dassin and Antonis Antypas. Eleni Karaindrou herself will play the piano, joined by extraordinary veteran
