The Greek National Opera Brings Igor Stravinsky's FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE To Athens

From Russia With Love comes makes its way to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center starting this weekend, 6 April, 2019 through 21 April.

The ballet, presented by the Greek National Opera, by Igor Stravinsky, is presented as three emblematic ballets.

Stravinsky became worldwide known through a series of ballets for which he composed the music. They were the fruits of his creative cooperation with impresario Sergei Diaghilev, who had created the 'Ballets Russes' in Paris in collaboration with some of the most talented Russian artists who lived and worked far from their homeland.

In this Greek production, choreography is provided by three renowned dancers and choreographers including, Daphnis Kokkinos of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, distinguished German choreographer Marco Goecke of Hannover Ballet and Konstantinos Rigos, ballet director of the Greek National Opera.
