Greece
The Greek National Opera (Greek: Εθνική Λυρική Σκηνή, Ethniki Lyriki Skini) is the country’s state lyric opera company, located in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center at the south suburb of Athens, Kallithea. It is a public corporation under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Culture and administered by the Board of Trustees and its Artistic Director, currently George Koumedakis.
Aims
Our mission is to offer audiences – at home and abroad – high-calibre productions, by presenting operas, ballets, operettas, operas for children and music recitals, among others.
Our organisation also encompasses the GNO Professional School of Dance and the Learning & Participation department.
Performances are held at Greek National Opera‘s two stages at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (Stavros Niarchos Hall and Alternative Stage), as well as at the open-air Odeon of Herodes Atticus.
The repertory of Greece’s only opera company covers four centuries of lyrical theatre, from the works of Claudio Monteverdi to those of contemporary composers.
