Nikos Karathanos – Markellos Chryssikopoulos

Salomé


Based on the oratorio San Giavoanni Battista by ALESSANDRO STRADELLA


Baroque as the melting pot between contradictory notions, such as the sublime and the trivial, intellect and sensuality, is the underlying concept in all Latinitas Nostra concerts. Baroque scene’s eccentric ‘pope’ Markellos Chryssicos and gifted theatre director Nikos Karathanos, who makes his debut in the opera genre, further pursue the theme of the musical discourse between the East and the West initiated in last year’s performance A Voyage into the Levant. Together they approach Stradella’s “erotic oratorio” St John the Baptist as a bold fusion of both western and oriental influences.
