Approved

The Greek National Opera is opening the Athens Epidaurus Festival with a major new production of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly conducted by Vassilis Christopoulos, directed by Olivier Py, and presented at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus for four performances – on 1, 4, 7 and 10 June 2023. 
This production is made possible by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) to enhance the GNO’s artistic outreach.

Following the enormously successful Wozzek (2020), leading French director Olivier Py is returning to the Greek National Opera once more, this time to stage Puccini’s masterpiece at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Py –who was recently appointed Artistic Director of Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris following his much-admired nine-year stint as director of the Festival d’Avignon– has put on more than forty works of opera around the world. Now, on the invitation of the Greek National Opera, he is tackling Madama Butterfly for the first time, bringing the orchestra up onto the Odeon of Herodes Atticus stage and the political dimensions of Puccini’s work right to the fore, in his signature directorial style.
The production’s impressive sets and costumes are designed by Py’s longstanding associate, Pierre-André Weitz. The production is conducted by the acclaimed Greek maestro Vassilis Christopoulos, who was recently appointed Chief Conductor at Oper Gratz in Austria.
