ANA/MPA---Rufus Wainwright, distinguished singer and songwriter, will
present the Symphonic Visual Concert Prima Donna on Tuesday at the
Odeon of Herodes Atticus within the framework of the Hellenic Festival.
Prima Donna, the central character of which is inspired by Maria Callas,
was first presented in 2009 at the Manchester International Festival
but its visual concert adaptation will premiere in Athens.
The first half of the performance is comprised of a 60-minute concert
version of Prima Donna, coinciding with a showing of the film. The second
half of the performance features Wainwright singing highlights from his
acclaimed oeuvre as a songwriter with full orchestra accompaniment. Opera
singers will also make an appearance for a couple of songs.
