The Greek National Opera opens the 2024/25 season with an international co-production with the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and the Opéra national de Paris. As one of the highlights of this year's festival season, the production was staged in Aix-en-Provence in the summer and has already wowed the international press and audience there. The renowned Russian director, Dmitri Tcherniakov, will now present Gluck's two operas about the ancient world, Iphigénie en Aulide and Iphigénie en Tauride, for the first time in Athens in a double bill. The premiere evening is on October 10, 2024 with seven performances in the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the SNFCC. This production is made possible by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) [www.SNF.org] to increase the artistic reach of the Greek National Opera.

The GNO starts the new season with the first performance of Rachmaninov's Aleko in Greece, new productions of Turandot, Flira mirabilis, La forza del destino, Iphigénie en Aulide and Iphigénie en Tauride, a co-production with the Royal Opera House of Lucia di Lammermoor directed by Katie Mitchell and many other opera and ballet productions.
