In the context of the Roadshow, children and young people will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the world of opera and the power of music, listening to the thoughts and ideas of the creators themselves, but also parts of the work.

The event will also include a presentation of the work and goals of the Fedora Platform, which supports the artistic genres of opera and ballet, innovation and education.

Or the Battle of Sounds, the director Io Voulgaraki, the Youth Opera project coordinator Vangelis Hatzisimos and of course, the composer, Thodoris Economou.
