The musical direction is by Kimon Hytiris, the choir direction by Anton Ivano, the musical preparation of the roles by Michalis Papapetrou, the choir’s vocal preparation by Andreas Gousis, the piano accompaniment of the choir by Marilena Elou, and the assistant director is Maria Sourvinou. Special music interpretation advisor is Aris Christofellis.
The production is implemented by ARTE ATENE.
The performance is held with the blessing and valuable support of:

The Holy Metropolis of Corfu, Paxoi and Diapontian Islands
The Holy Church of Agios Spyridon
The Catholic Archdiocese of Corfu, Zakynthos, and Kefalonia
The Parish of the Catholic Metropolitan Church (Duomo)
The Parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Kotsela).
We would like to sincerely thank the Philharmonic Society of Corfu (Palaiá) and the Philharmonic Society of Mantzaros for their unwavering assistance, as well as the businesses on the “skalinada” and the adjacent Plakadou of Agios, for their excellent cooperation.
We look forward to sharing this unique opera experience with the people of our island, which is an integral and living part of our urban tradition.
