Kharálampos Goyós
Damage, an opera in seven meals (2004), after the novel Damage by Josephine Hart
“Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive”.
Josephine Hart’s novel, Damage, famous in Louis Malle’s big-screen version, is brought to the operatic stage for the first time in a ‘reading’ by the young Greek composer, Kharálampos Goyós. His cutting, sarcastic adaptation reveals what the Greek-American composer George Tsontakis has described as his “genuine talent for opera composition”. The quality of this new production is guaranteed by its conductor, Vassilis Christopoulos (music director of the Southwest German Philharmonic Orchestra), its director Marianna Calbari, and the experience of its lead, the bass Tassos Apostolou [Kh.G.].
A Hellenic Festival Production.
