Cairo Opera House Hosts Unforgetable 'Zorba the Greek' Performance, Promoting Greece-Egypt Deep Ties
Rana Atef
On Tuesday, the Cairo Opera House hosted a stunning performance of Zorba the Greek by legendary Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis in celebration of Greek National Day and the declaration of 2025 as a year to honor Theodorakis.
Described as "a Greek Night on Cairo's lands," the event drew large crowds of both Egyptians and Greeks, coming together to celebrate the shared values of friendship, culture, and a deep passion for music and the arts.
The performance, delivered with professionalism, talent, passion, and harmony, featured the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) and the Acappella Choir of the Cairo Opera House. Their rendition of Theodorakis' masterpiece beautifully embraced the Greek work and its profound emotional language.
The event was organized by the Embassy of Greece in Cairo, in collaboration with the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, the Cairo Opera House, and the Acappella Choir, which impressed with their interpretation of the iconic Greek composition.
The audience's enthusiastic response was incredible, with loud applause after each movement.
However, it was Zorba's iconic dance music that truly sent the crowd into the loudest and most fervent applause of the evening.
Conductor Michalis Economou was equally engaged with the audience, expressing his joy and excitement about performing at the Cairo Opera House.
