The baptism of Th. Sakellaridis at the National Opera - TV SPOT,

Charalambos Alexandropoulos (14, 16, 17, 18/6) The Orchestra, the Choir and the Children's Choir of ELS participate in the educational mission of Giacomo Puccini's Tearing Tosca, one of the most popular operas of all time, returns National Opera on 14, 16, 17, 18 June 2015 at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, as part of the Athens Festival. A magnificent production under the musical direction of Luca Karytinou, with impressive sets and costumes, which are signed, together with the direction, by the distinguished Argentine director Hugo de Ana. Leading Greek and foreign Monodos star. The production premiered in July 2012, managing to fill the Herodion in all four performances, while it was considered by audiences and critics, as a particularly elegant and majestic, traditional ascent with spectacular views and enviable theatricality. Floria Tosca is an opera diva, a woman madly in love, who is pathologically jealous of her partner. Baron Scarpia is a dark man with absolute power, delighted by the pain of his victims. Between the two is the lover and pure patriot Mario Cavaradossi who is driven to death, not for his ideas, but because he owns Tosca, which Scarpia craves. The engine is well set up: no one will escape Scarpia's traps. In this thriller the crazy passions are underlined by the highly evocative music of Giacomo Puccini. Rightly one of the most popular operas in the repertoire. It was presented in Greece for the first time in 1942 by ELS,,
