Balancing tradition with contemporary expression\, they seek to forge a personal musical language through original compositions and traditional melodies from the Mediterranean and the Balkan Peninsula. \nEvery piece is a portrait. Every portrait tells a story. Every story becomes a bridge between cultures. \nTheodosii Spassov: kaval \nAlexandros Gagatsis: drums \nGlafkos Kontemeniotis: piano \nIrenaeos Koullouras: double bass

SUMMARY:Aeschylus’ Seven Against Thebes\, Persona Theatre Company - 5.9.2026
DESCRIPTION:Seven gates\, seven opposing generals\, and at the heart of a besieged city\, two brothers driven towards mutual destruction. In Seven Against Thebes\, Aeschylus places the family feud of Oedipus’ descendants in the maelstrom of war: Polynices returns to Thebes with the Argive army to claim the throne from Eteocles\, while the besieged people of Thebes turn anxiously to the gods. The struggle for power becomes fratricide\, and the cycle of violence returns to where it began: within the family itself. \nIn Lea Maleni’s stage interpretation\, the ancient tragedy provides the impetus for a contemporary reflection on war and the mechanisms that perpetuate it. Revenge breeds new crime\, violence begets violence\, and the need to survive often drives people to the destruction of others and\, ultimately\, to their own destruction. The myth is not treated as a distant past\, but as a pattern that resurfaces throughout history—in civil conflicts\, displacement and the collective traumas they leave in their wake. \nA defining element of the production is its multilingualism. Seven different languages—including Arabic\, Farsi\, Somali\, Hindi and Serbian—are spoken live on stage and form an integral part of the performance. The languages of people and places that have known war\, forced displacement and loss meet on stage\, carrying different memories and experiences. These different voices come together\, bringing Aeschylus’ tragedy into dialogue with the realities of the present. \nThe production was created for the 29th International Ancient Greek Drama Festival 2026 and was funded by the Cyprus Centre of the International Theatre Institute and the Deputy Ministry of Culture (Department of Contemporary Culture)\, which also served as co-organisers. \n  \nDuration: 75 minutes \nSupertitles: Greek and English \nAge suitability: 12+ \nTranslation: Yiorgos Blanas \nDirector: Lea Maleni \nDramaturgy: Elena Triantafyllopoulou & Lea Maleni \nMusic Composition: Spyros Kallivokas \nSet and Costume Design: Yiorgos Yiannou \nMovement: Panayiotis Tofi \nLighting Design: Nicos Mylonas \nAssistant Director: Katerina Papageorgiou \n  \nLanguage Coaches: Kamal Eldin Salah (Arabic)\, Almas Aadan Abdulle (Somali)\, Raamaakrisshnan Nenmeli (Hindi)\, Afsaneh Fasihi & Maryam Edalati (Farsi)\, Dragana Constantinou Markov (Serbian) \n  \nCast (in order of appearance) \nEteocles/Chorus: Giannis Karaoulis \nMessenger/Chorus: Andreas Papamichalopoulos \nAntigone/Chorus: Marina Mandri \nIsmene/Chorus: Myrsini Christodoulou \nChorus: Anna Yiangiozi\, Vasilis Michael\, Semeli Kyriazi\, Freideriki Tombazou \nPolyneices: Antonis Akritov \nChildren: Solon Dellaporta\, Damianos Kousiappas \n  \nMusicians on Stage: \nNatasa Hadjiandreou (percussion)\, Annita Skoutella (French horn) \n  \nPromotional photos: Nastazia Christodoulou\, Vasilis Theofanous \nPhotos from the performance: © Pavlos Vrionides

SUMMARY:24th Pafos Aphrodite Festival – “L'Elisir d'Amore” by Gaetano Donizetti - 4-5.9.2026
DESCRIPTION:On 4 and 5 September 2026\, the Square of the Medieval Castle of Pafos will once again be transformed into one of the Mediterranean’s most spectacular open-air opera venues\, hosting the 24th Pafos Aphrodite Festival. \nThis year’s Festival presents Gaetano Donizetti’s masterpiece L’Elisir d’Amore (The Elixir of Love)\, one of the world’s most beloved and frequently performed comic operas. Since its premiere in 1832\, the work has captivated audiences worldwide with its perfect blend of humour\, romance and heartfelt emotion\, featuring the celebrated aria “Una furtiva lagrima”\, one of the most famous arias in operatic history. \nThe story follows Nemorino\, a simple yet hopelessly lovestruck young man who believes that a “magic elixir” will help him win the heart of his beloved Adina.

This international production brings together distinguished opera soloists\, musicians and creative artists from Armenia and abroad\, promising a performance of the highest artistic standards. \nAgainst the breathtaking backdrop of the Medieval Castle of Pafos and the Mediterranean Sea\, the two performances promise an unforgettable evening where music\, architecture and nature combine to create an experience that has established the Pafos Aphrodite Festival as one of Cyprus’ leading cultural institutions. \nTickets are available through Ticketmaster Cyprus and at all ACS Courier outlets. A limited number of VIP tickets (€150) are also available\, including access to the reception (food and drinks) as well as the Festival’s programme. \nWith fewer than four weeks remaining until the curtain rises\, audiences are encouraged to secure their tickets early and become part of a unique musical experience that attracts visitors from Cyprus and around the world each year. \nInstitutional Sponsor: Deputy Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Cyprus \nSponsors: Bank of Cyprus\, Allwyn \nSupporters: AGG Luxury Homes\, Petrolina\, Reiwa Development\, Leptos Group \nMedia Sponsors: CyBC\, Phileleftheros\, Phil.

SUMMARY:CYPRIEN KATSARIS MEETS THE CYPRUS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - 30.6.2026
DESCRIPTION:Lefkosia: Tuesday 30 June 2026 – Nicosia Municipal Theatre\, 20:30 \nAt the heart of this brilliant and celebratory concert\, which marks the closing event of the cultural programme of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026\, stands the legendary virtuoso pianist Cyprien Katsaris\, an internationally celebrated artist who holds a distinguished place in international musical life. Joining him is the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra under the direction of its new Artistic Director\, the internationally acclaimed conductor Myron Michailidis. \nAn ideal work to open the concert is Dawn on the Parthenon by Solon Michaelides\, an important figure in Greek and Cypriot musical creation. In this work\, the ideas of light\, serenity\, and the gradual revelation of a landscape are transformed into a richly evocative musical atmosphere. \nThe pianistic artistry of Cyprien Katsaris has earned international recognition not only for its dazzling virtuosity\, but also for its intensely personal artistic identity. He is one of the very few musicians of Cypriot origin to have achieved such international prominence while maintaining such enduring prestige on the world concert stage. \nInternationally celebrated for his authoritative interpretations of Franz Liszt\, Katsaris will captivate audiences with his incomparable brilliance\, poetic sensitivity\, and electrifying virtuosity in the dazzling works of the Hungarian composer: Fantasy on Themes from the Incidental Music “The Ruins of Athens” by Ludwig van Beethoven and the Hungarian Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra. \nIn the Fantasy on Themes from “The Ruins of Athens” by Beethoven\, Franz Liszt transforms thematic material from the famous incidental music into a brilliant work for piano and orchestra\, dominated by imagination\, virtuosity\, and creative musical elaboration. \nAt the same time\, the Hungarian Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra reveals Liszt’s close affinity with rhapsodic writing\, pianistic brilliance\, and the Hungarian musical idiom of the nineteenth century. Closely connected to the world of the Hungarian Rhapsodies\, the work conveys a characteristic blend of formal freedom\, vibrant rhythm\, theatrical contrasts\, and extroverted energy. \nThe second half of the programme presents a feast of famous dances from the symphonic repertoire\, forming a brilliant mosaic of European musical styles and traditions by composers such as Johann Strauss II\, Georges Bizet\, Johannes Brahms and Antonín Dvořák. \nThe world-famous Hungarian Dances by Johannes Brahms combine emotional immediacy\, powerful rhythmic character\, and exceptional compositional mastery\, while the Slavonic Dances by Antonín Dvořák are original compositions inspired by Slavic dance forms. Dances such as the “Navarraise” from the ballet suite Le Cid by Jules Massenet and the “Aragonaise” from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet evoke the brilliance of the French musical tradition. The Viennese creations of Johann Strauss II radiate elegance and festive spirit\, while the Kleftikos Dance by Nikos Skalkottas highlights Greek traditional dance elements through a distinctive and highly personal orchestral language. \nThe programme concludes with the United Nations March by Robert Stolz\, adding a distinctive ceremonial dimension to this festive evening. \nPROGRAMME \nSolon MICHAELIDES: Dawn at the Parthenon \nFranz LISZT: Fantasy on motifs from Beethoven’s Ruins of Athens\, S. 1 \nFranz LISZT: Hungarian Fantasy for piano and orchestra \nMarc Antoine CHARPENTIER: Prelude from Te Deum \nJules MASSENET: Navarraise from ballet suite Le Cid \nGeorges BIZET: Aragonaise from the opera Carmen   \nJohannes BRAHMS: Hungarian Dance no. 5 \nAntonín DVOŘÁK: Slavonic Dance no. 8\, op. 46 \nJohannes BRAHMS: Hungarian Dance no. 4 \nAntonín DVOŘÁK: Slavonic Dance no. 15\, op. 72 \nJohann STRAUSS: Thunder and Lightning Polka\, op. 324 \nJohann STRAUSS: Voices of Spring\, op. 410 \nNikos SKALKOTTAS: Kleftikos from 36 Greek Dances \nRobert STOLZ: United Nations March \n  \nCyprien Katsaris\, piano \nMyron Michailidis\, conductor \n  \nTicket prices: Zone Α: €30 / €25\, Zone Β: €25 / €20 \nConcession tickets are available to: \nStudents\, soldiers\, pensioners\, large and five-member families on presentation of ID. \nFree Entrance for people with disabilities. \nTicket presales: \nOnline at cyso.interticket.com and 1\,5 hrs before the concert.

SUMMARY:Cyprus Sympnony Orchestra - A  MAGICAL NIGHT Maria Farantouri sings Mikis Theodorakis - 14-15.5.2026
DESCRIPTION:The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra is greatly honoured and excited to join forces for the first time with the distinguished Greek artist Maria Farantouri in a special tribute to Mikis Theodorakis\, for a truly magical night! The concert also marks the first performance of the Orchestra under the direction of the its new Artistic Director\, the internationally acclaimed conductor Myron Michailidis. \nMaria Farantouri\, the iconic interpreter of Mikis Theodorakis\, will perform with her uniquely profound expressiveness and inner intensity a selection of the composer’s most celebrated songs\, alongside seven songs from the song cycle Odyssey (2007\, poetry by Kostas Kartelias). \n‘Odyssey’ is the final song cycle composed by the great Greek composer. Its creation was sparked by the emotion Mikis Theodorakis experienced\, upon first reading the poetry of Kostas Kartelias in 2006\, at the age of 81: “When I read Kostas Kartelias’s poems\, I suddenly felt a stirring\, as I did when I was younger\,” the composer confides in the album’s presentation. It was only natural that Theodorakis entrusted both the interpretation and recording of these songs to his quintessential interpreter\, Maria Farantouri. “Mikis Theodorakis surprised us with this new\, fresh and romantic work. We are accustomed to his austere expression\, yet lyricism has always glowed beneath the surface of his songs\,” Farantouri herself has remarked about the cycle. \nThe songs of ‘Odyssey’ form a journey into the depths of the modern human soul: love\, loneliness\, and existential impasses\, as each of us\, like a contemporary Odysseus\, inevitably confronts “clashing rocks” in the search for our own “Ithaca.” As Theodorakis eloquently writes: “Here\, the very subject matter points to the exaltation of the ‘individual’\, who\, like Odysseus\, struggles alone—himself and the sea. Thus\, the ‘individual’\, that is\, our very self\, must ultimately come to terms with the idea that Ithaca does not exist\, and must instead cling to his own passions and emotions in order to remain afloat on the foaming sea that is life.” \nThe concert culminates in a selection of the composer’s most emblematic songs. The incomparable melodies of Mikis Theodorakis—so deeply cherished—interweave creatively with the poetry of leading Greek poets\, illuminating the timeless power and universal resonance of his work. The orchestrations\, both of the ‘Odyssey’ cycle and the songs\, are by Antonis Sousamoglou and Lazaros Tsavdaridis. \nThe evening is further enriched by the symphonic ballet suite ‘The Carnival’ (1953)\, a work that vividly reflects Theodorakis’s creative assimilation and transformation of Greek popular music. As the composer writes: “In 1947\, I was in exile on Ikaria\, and it was then that I first came into meaningful contact with our popular (laïkó) music. The first song I heard was ‘Captain Andreas Zeppos’… Immediately afterwards\, I began systematically collecting popular (laïkó) songs.” This song\, along with other Greek popular (laïkó) and folk melodies and dances\, is imaginatively orchestrated by Theodorakis\, “seeking those orchestral colours that respond to the character of the work’s rhythmic and melodic material.” \n  \n‘The Carnival’ was first presented in November 1953 in Athens by the Athens State Orchestra under the direction of Andreas Paridis. It was later staged as a ballet at the Rome Opera in 1954 by the Greek Dance Theatre of Rallou Manou\, with the Rome Opera Orchestra. Subsequent symphonic premieres followed\, in Paris in 1958 and London in 1959. \nThe authentic interpretations of Maria Farantouri\, the dynamic presence of the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra\, and the interpretative vision of conductor Myron Michailidis offer a unique musical journey\, illuminating the multifaceted work of Mikis Theodorakis—from the deeply human and intimate creator to the leading Greek composer of global stature. \n  \nPROGRAMME \nMikis THEODORAKIS: \nPopular and emblematic songs \nSeven songs from the cycle ‘Odyssey’ (poetry: Kostas Kartelias) \nOrchestrations: Antonis Sousamoglou\, Lazaros Tsavdaridis \n“The Carnival” – symphonic suite \n  \nMaria Farantouri\, vocalist \nCyprus Symphony Orchestra \nMyron Michailidis\, conductor \nThe concerts are held under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026. \n  \nTicket prices: Zone Α: €35 / €30 (concession) and Zone Β: €30 / €25 (concession) \nTicket presales: \nPallas Theatre\, Pafos Gate (Rigainis and Arsinois corner\, 1010 Lefkosia\, 22 410181): \nOnline at cyso.interticket.com and at the theatre box office 1\,5 hrs before the concert.

SUMMARY:Cyprus Symphony Orchestra - Events 1 - RUTTER: REQUIEM -3.4.2026
DESCRIPTION:Lefkosia: Friday 3 April 2026 – Strovolos Municipal Theatre\, 20:30 \nComposed in 1985\, John Rutter’s Requiem is an intimate\, contemplative and lyric meditation on the themes of life and death. Leaving aside any grandiosity and drama\, it is a gorgeous masterpiece that moves towards light rather than darkness. Αs Rutter openly stated\, his approach to the genre was clearly influenced and inspired by Faure’s Requiem. \nIt is precisely because of this approach that Rutter’s Requiem has wide emotional appeal\, one that clearly touches the heart of every listener. To bring out these qualities\, the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra is delighted to collaborate with the superb Georgian conductor Levan Jagaev\, the distinguished sopranos Mariza Anastasiades and Eleni Charalambous\, as well as the Cyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra Choir. \nThe seven sections of the work form an arch-like meditation: the first and last movements are prayers to God on behalf of all humanity. The second and sixth are psalms. The third and fifth are personal prayers to Jesus Christ. The Sanctus\, which the composer describes as “celebratory and affirmative\,” is the center and is an affirmation of divine glory\, accompanied by bells as it is in the Roman Mass. \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Exsultate\, jubilate sets the seal on resurrection joy. Its virtuosic vocal brilliance\, buoyant rhythms and luminous melodies beautifully project the radiant text of rejoicing and exultant praise. \n  \nJohn RUTTER: Requiem for solo soprano\, mixed choir and orchestra \nWolfgang Amadeus MOZART: ‘Exsultate\, jubilate’\, K. 165 \n  \nMariza Anastasiades soprano \nEleni Charalambous soprano \nCyprus Youth Symphony Orchestra Choir (choirmaster: Loizos Loizou) \nLevan Jagaev conductor   \n  \nThe concerts are held under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026. \n Co-produced by the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra Foundation and Papadopoulos & Schinis Productions \nTicket prices: Stalls: €25 / 23\, Balcony: €20 / 17 \nTicket presales: \nConcert 3.4: Online at www.ticketmaster.cy and to all shops of ACS Courier\, 77777040 \nInformation: Cyprus Symphony Orchestra Foundation: 22 463144\, www.cyso.org.cy

DESCRIPTION:Lefkosia: Thursday 19 March 2026 – Strovolos Municipal Theatre\, 20:30 \nΙn the Starlight 4 concerts\, two great artists of international standing join the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra: Sharon Kam\, one of the world’s leading clarinetists and Michalis Economou\, a world-esteemed conductor\, composer\, and educator. \nTitled “a most imaginative and individual artist” by the ‘Gramophone’ magazine\, Sharon Kam is praised for her rare expressive warmth\, technical brilliance\, and charismatic stage presence. Renowned for his deeply communicative musicianship\, Michalis Economou brings his refined artistic vision to the three masterpieces of this concert. \nΤhe concert starts with the work Kommos B\, “Lament for Morton” written in 1996 by the celebrated Greek composer\, conductor\, and educator Theodore Antoniou. Dedicated to the memory of the American composer\, conductor\, and pianist Morton Gould\, the piece uses the first phrase of a mourning song from Epirus. \nSharon Kam will shine in Carl Maria von Weber’s Clarinet Concerto no. 2\, a work of dazzling virtuosity and lyrical charm\, written to showcase the clarinet’s expressive range. From sparkling agility to warm\, songful introspection\, its elegance\, theatrical flair\, and playful wit make it one of the instrument’s most beloved concertos. \nEdward Elgar’s Enigma Variations is a masterpiece of orchestral imagination and emotional resonance. Each variation is a musical portrait of a close friend\, revealing Elgar’s rich palette\, subtle humour\, and profound humanity – from the noble breadth of Nimrod to the work’s exuberant conclusion. \nPROGRAMME \nTheodore ANTONIOU: Kommos B (Lament for Morton) \nCarl Maria von WEBER: Clarinet Concerto no. 2 in E flat major\, op. 74 \nEdward ELGAR: Enigma Variations (Variations on an original theme\, op. 36) \n Sharon Kam clarinet \nMichalis Economou conductor \n  \nThe concerts are held under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026. \n Gold Sponsor: Perestroika (Cyprus) Ltd \n  \nTicket prices: €25 / €18  Ι  €20 / €15  Ι  €17 / €12 \nConcession tickets are available to: \nStudents\, soldiers\, pensioners\, large and five-member families on presentation of ID. \nFree Entrance for people with disabilities. \n  \nTicket presales: \nStrovolos Municipal Theatre (Strovolos avenue 100\, 2020 Strovolos\, Lefkosia): \nOnline at soldouttickets.com.cy\, https://soldoutticketbox.com/starlight4-2026 at the Box Office: Mon-Fri 10:00-13:00 & 16:00-19:00\, Sat.: 10:00-13:00 and 2 hrs before the concert. \nOnline at cyso.interticket.com and 1\,5 hrs before the concert. \nInformation: 22 463144\, www.cyso.org.cy
