“EL GRECO” – first (piano) rehearsal

We started!! TUTTI (…almost) !!!  🙂

Opening with a great speech by the Stage Director – Vasilis Anastasiou – a man of vision, ideas and most of all knowledge and fantasy – so important for the Opera, which is a world of beauty, music, dance and also of great history.. Thank you Vasilis – you know how to bring magic to the audience.. !! 🙂

The atmosphere was quite relaxed – Maria Hatzinasios made everyone feel warmly welcome!

Silvia Dalla Benetta (Sofia) and Omar Kamara (Manolio) – both from Italy, know how to match work with a bit of sweet.. 🙂 

Great singers and of course: Maestro George Hatzinasios on the Piano! ..how else could it be??

In the era of digital kingdom, where life happens in high speed velocity, we seem to have forgotten about the most essential element in the Art of Music: the Melody!

George Hatzinasios’ EL GRECO is here to remind everyone of how music can uplift our spirits, where the Melody is the key factor for the creation of a deep and meaningful communication between our hearts…

Sotiris Triantis – wonderful baritone making small corrections in his partition – Maestro Hatzinasios has never enough of artistic character.

It is such a great feeling, to work on a piece of music which has never been performed… It is like sculpting… or painting… At first you can’t have a clear image of how it will be.. But then..

EL GRECO!!!
