CONCERTS BY THE ATHENS STATE ORCHESTRA
A great work of art does not conquer the world; it transcends the world… Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde, one of the landmarks of Romanticism, is also the gateway to a new acoustic, harmonic, and expressive universe, a crossroads in music. Distinguished opera singers with a long experience in Wagner’s work transport us, under the baton of Stefanos Tsialis, to a world of passionate love rendered in poetry and music of unparalleled beauty.
