  • [01] Philippi Festival opens July 4

    The 51st Festival of Philippi, in Kavala, the second oldest cultural festival in Greece after the Epidaurus Festival, opens on July 4 in the ancient theater with a concert by two of Greece's most popular singers, Dimitra Galani and Eleftheria Arvanitaki.

    The program of this year's Festival, which runs throughout the entire summer season (July-September), includes performances of ancient drama and comedy staged by the State Theater of Northern Greece, the National Theater and other municipal theaters, concerts, classical dance and music performances, and performances by orchestras and groups of international repute.

    One of the most important festivals in Greece, and the top cultural event of Kavala prefecture, the Philippi Festival was organised for the first time in 1957, and quickly gained popularity.

    Highlights of the Festival include a concert by the Camerata-Friends of Music orchestra, featuring violin soloist George Panagiotidis and led by maestro Vladimiros Symeonidis, in a concert dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the European Parliament, while on July 10 the State Theater of Northern Greece will stage a performance of Euripides' "Orestes", directed by Slobodan Unkovski.

    The Festival closes on September 1, with a National Theater of Greece performance of a play titled "Oedipus Tyrannus at Colonus", which is based on two of the works comprising Sophocles' Oedipus Trilogy: the ancient dramas 'Oedipus Tyrannus' and 'Oedipus at Colonus', adapted and directed by Roula Pateraki.
