The legendary Lilipoupoli, the radio
programme linked with Manos Hadjidakis’ reigning era at the Trito
Programma of the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (1976-1980), which
raised generation after generation of Greek people, now comes alive at
the Roman Odeon once again, taking us along for a ride through Marianina
Kriezi’s song lyrics, with music composed by Nikos Christodoulou, Nikos
Kypourgos, Dimitris Maragopoulos, and Lena Platonos. Singers Tassis
Christoyannis, Doros Dimosthenous, Lenia Safiropoulou, and Savina
Yannatou will lend their voices, joined by the Rosarte Youth Choir and
17 members of the Ventus Ensemble. Nikos Christodoulos will serve as
conductor and artistic supervisor.
For the first time ever, certain Lilipoupoli
songs will be performed in the Greek Sign Language by the Rosarte Youth
Choir, coached by Sign Language Centre “Kivotos Polyhoros”.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, all performance dates are subject to change
