Grammy nominee and ECHO Klassik winner Piotr Beczała is one of the most sought-after tenors of our time. The Polish-born performer has been praised for his “eternal voice,” as experts describe it, due to its rare beauty, warm timbre, brilliance and stability, combined with its technical perfection. In this first appearance in our city, he presents a rich opera gala dedicated to the memory of Maria Callas, under the musical direction of the great Italian conductor Marco Boemi, who has collaborated with all the leading opera singers of the last two decades. Another joining of forces between the Thessaloniki Opera and the Thessaloniki Concert Hall, which makes possible the arrival of the elite of contemporary artists in Thessaloniki.
