Karolos

The Karolos Koun Art Theater, in collaboration with Neos Kosmos Theater, will present Aeschylus' "The Suppliants" at the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus on August 23-24. Directed by Marianna Calbari, this adaptation of Aeschylus' lone surviving play from his Danaid Tetralogy explores themes of asylum and female persecution.

Director Antonis Antypas has died at the age of 83.

The news was shared in a heartfelt post by the composer and his wife of 40 years, Eleni Karaindrou.

Her life until the final year of high school was solely dedicated to track and field. An athlete specializing in middle-distance running events, she was ready for the Gymnastics Academy. However, a career guidance test changed everything, revealing a talent for theater and dance, despite her limited exposure to performing on stage.

The Athens Concert Hall has gone digital, launching a series of podcasts featuring fascinating discussions on music with the likes of acclaimed pianist Janis Vakarelis, widely cited physicist Dimitris Nanopoulos and award-winning pianist Alexandra Papastefanou, though non-Greek speakers will probably find more joy in its concerts.
