Armonia Atenea – The Friends Of Music Orchestra
Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
In its third annual musical production, the Armonia Atenea - The Friends of Music Orchestra and George Petrou will once again astonish the audiences of Athens Festival with a musical that has been considered by critics as the best thing to come out of Broadway in years. The musical thriller Sweeney Todd, with music and lyrics by the living legend of the American musical theatre, Stephen Sondheim and text by Hugh Wheeler, was first presented in 1979, sweeping that year’s Tony Awards. This impressive Sweeney Todd production will feature a cast of 26, including popular actors and opera singers, along with a symphonic orchestra ensemble of 35. The play is set in bleak 19th-century London. A blackly funny story that is a parable for the darkest aspects of humanity and society.
Translated into Greek.
