A special opera gala aimed at supporting the educational goals of the “Maria Callas Scholarships” Association, founded by the opera legend herself, will take place on Friday, October 4, 2024, in the Christos Lambrakis Hall of the Athens Concert Hall.
The event will feature two distinguished soloists, soprano Alexia Voulgaridou and baritone Aris Argiris.
The acclaimed artists will perform popular scenes and arias from operas by Verdi and Puccini, including the Tosca–Scarpia duet from the second act of Tosca.
The program also includes orchestral works by the two great Italian composers, such as the Prelude from Aida, the Overture from The Force of Destiny (Verdi), and the Intermezzo from Manon Lescaut (Puccini).
The artists and orchestra members are participating in the concert voluntarily, without compensation.
