We would have almost forgotten it but Greece is one of the most exhilarating European countries. Rich in an abundant history and an incomparable sweetness of life, its capital Athens remains a fascinating destination with this cultural heritage and its dynamism. Economic news has pushed the opening of the new opera house (designed by Renzo Piano) into the background. A perfect success according to all the specialists, to discover without further delay…
This quality musical stay is built around the icon Maria Callas with one of her very great roles taken over by the great soprano Anna Pirozzi. Cherubini's Medea awakens the ghosts of Greek tragedy with the revival of David McVicar's superb staging which opened the Metropolitan Opera season.
Two other highlights embellish this stay. A half-day small-group tour for a full experience of ancient Athens will rekindle memories while a food tour of the capital lets you dig into Europe's capital.
This stay is an event with the promise of exceptional moments
