The festival curtain will close with “Erotokritos” by Dimitris Maramis, with the fine vocalists Eleni Dimopoulou, Mela Gerofoti and Thodoris Voutsikakis. The famous renaissance romance composed by Cretan-born poet Vinsentsos Kornaros narrates the trials and tribulations suffered by two young lovers, Erotokritos and Aretusa. This hugely popular work all over Greece, signifies the characteristics of true love, friendship, courage and patriotism. It was a source of inspiration for many great Greek poets, such as Dionysios Solomos, Kostis Palamas, Kostas Krystallis, and George Seferis. Memories of this evening are certain to remain with us long after the curtain falls.
