The Olympia Theatre hosts in the renovated foyer of the first floor, the first permanent exhibition in the country for Maria Callas, with personal items and documents from the life and the work of the great opera diva.

Our collaboration begins with a concert accessible to everyone, Christos Leontis' historic "Katachnia" (The Fog), a work dedicated to the Occupation, the Resistance, and Liberation. The concert will take place on October 12th, the day commemorating the liberation of Athens, and will be accompanied by interpreting in Greek Sign Language, surtitling depicting the entire audio channel, and preparatory material in the form of audio/text descriptions.

Organised by: City of Athens Culture, Sports and Youth Organization (OPANDA)
