European Choir and Symphonic Mandolinata of the Corfu Music School present: The Comic Opera “The Canary”

Music: Giannis Drositis
Libretto: Kastrinos

A farce set in the square of Corfu, featuring a Cephalonian, a Zakynthian, and a Corfiot. Will the Zakynthian manage to sell his expensive bird, “The Canary,” to the Cephalonian? But is the Cephalonian as foolish as the Zakynthian believes? The Corfiot, however, immediately senses that something is off in this story.

The unique timbre of the symphonic mandolinata, conducted by Giorgos Priftis, will highlight the linguistic character of the work, which is deeply rooted in the traditional Ionian dialect while also maintaining a modern touch.
