French playwright and director Olivier Py breathes new life into Alban Berg's internationally acclaimed opera "Wozzeck," which is on stage at the Greek National Opera's Stavros Niarchos Hall in southern Athens for five performances between January 19 and February 2. GNO baritone Tassis Christoyannis stars in the title role and Vassilis Christopoulos conducts the GNO Orchestra.

The Greek National Opera presents two movie suites by Manos Hadjidakis at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center on March 1 and 2. The first is the "The Martlet's Tale," a soundtrack penned by the great Greek composer for the 1970 film of the same title directed by John Crowther, which received such poor reviews at its San Francisco preview that it was never released.

The Greek National Opera promises to make this festive season even more magical for parents and their kids traveling to Athens with two amazing children’s shows that are certain to entertain and delight the whole family.

These are the performances the Greek National Opera (GNO) will be bringing to young audiences before, during and right after the Christmas holidays and the New Year:
