“Last Night I Dreamt Of…”

Lead Donor of the GNO

Two years after their highly successful artistic co-production featured in the cycle “Mikis Theodorakis – Tracing His Footsteps Through Time”, the Greek National Opera and the Experimental Pallini Music High School (Junior & Senior) join forces once again to create a tribute to the life and work of the esteemed composer Yannis Constantinidis – Kostas Giannidis (1903-1984). In the two musical performances that will take place in the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the Greek National Opera at the SNFCC on 1 and 2 March 2025, the School’s musical ensembles will illuminate the unique artistic imprint of this prominent composer who consistently served both art-sophisticated classical music and popular “light” singing.

A few words about the Experimental Pallini Music High Schools (Junior and Senior)

The Pallini Music High School, founded in 1988, was the first such state music school in Greece. In addition to its regular curriculum, the school has introduced a number of annual music and educational events held at the school itself and at other venues, in partnership with a range of institutions that include the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, the Goethe-Institut Athen, L’Institut français de Grèce, Onassis Stegi, Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the Pallas Theatre.
