Pavlos Carrer

The Athens Conservatory is holding a special event on Monday in honor of music collector Stathis Arfanis, who donated more than 30,000 records - mostly classical and opera and many rare - to the state music school. 'I could keep them locked up in my house, caressing them like many mad collectors do.

The Athens Concert Hall presents Pavlos Carrer's 1868 romantic opera "Frosyni" (or "Ali Pasha's Revenge") in a new production directed and choreographed by Zoe Hatziantoniou and featuring the Rafi musical theater group. The Heptanesian School opera is being staged for the first time in 100 years. Performances take place on January 14 to 16.
