The preparation for the Premiere of “El Greco” – a new Greek Opera by George Hatzinasios at 19 and 20 of May – is gradually reaching the final phase. We are now connecting all the elements: music, singing, dance, drama, lights, scenery etc..
Last rehearsals with the Orchestra – we are working on the harmonies, dynamics, tempi – creating the base for the singers and the dancers..
Theofilos Ioannidis slowly starts to believe that we are in the right character and using proper articulation 🙂 Thank you 😉
In the meantime at the Theatre, the Stage and Drama will be ready. Vasilis Anastasiou – Stage Director is leaving the building just for a few hours during the day and night! How can a creative work proceed without sleep and proper rest?.. – it is only his secret..
He is responsible for (almost) everything – personally checking every details of the scenery, lights, requisite etc..
On the stage the last scenes – trying out the most fitting expressions… (Dario Di Vietri “El Greco”, Silvia Dalla Benetta “Sofia” and Sotiris Triantis “Peter”)
… end appropriate gestures …
Paul Zachariades “Icarus”
Today’s Birthday-child – Dario Di Vietri with Maria Thomopoulou – reggie assistant and choreographer
Partners are watching very carefully what is happening on the stage – always ready for more or less “helpful” comments .. 😉
Here Omar Kamata “Tiziano”, Carlo Torriani “Molino”, Theofilos Ioannidis “Kalogeros”, Benjamin Chatzikoumparoglou (our pianist) and Silvia Dalla Benetta “Sofia” (checking the latest social-media-comments.. 😉 )
Eugene Gunko “Inquisitore” found the right spot to seat..
… just next to ballet ensemble during warm-up …
The orchestra pit is ready as well…
George Hatzinasios is watching all of this with great calmness and good spirit – he knows that he composed a great Opera – we know it too!!
