Olympia Theater

The Greek Spirit

It had been a while since I had attended a concert at the Olympia Municipal Music Theatre "Maria Callas". A historic building located in the heart of Athens city center, representing one of Athens oldest and most established venues. This city landmark has served Greek culture for many years, hosting concerts and performances by famous and international artists including the great Greek soprano Maria Callas, whose legacy is commemorated also in the new name of this historic venue. On 24 January 2024, this same important theatre hosted a special and a different concert by the equally special and different Greek singer Thodoris Voutsikakis (Θοδωρής Βουτσικάκης). This time Thodoris in collaboration with the Greek Music Workshop of the Municipality of Athens was able to unfold the rich history of Greek songs and music, taking the audience in a journey through time to experience and enjoy famous Greek songs written by the most established Greek composers, lyricists, and poets. Thodoris was very eclectic in his choice of songs which were truly diverse, covering a wide range of Greek musical styles and genres, and which Thodoris’ voice was equally able to serve well. Indeed, his versatility enables him to perform across a wide range of musical styles. What really makes Thodoris’ performance stand out, however, goes beyond his genuine talent and melodious voice. It is the sensitivity and transparency of his soul that adds a lot and is reflected in the quality of his voice and equally surfaces his performance overall. The exceptionally superior quality of this concert and performance was further supported and enhanced by the good acoustics of this theatre, allowing the sound to travel and reach the audience even when they were siting far away from the stage. Highly recommended for lovers of good art and the Greek spirit!
