The compelling story of Arïanna - a colorful remake of a lost oper - is performed by a unique team of singers and musicians with roots all over the world. The original opera, created by Claudio Monteverdi, has been lost. Only the text and one beautiful aria still exist, the world-famous Lamento d'Arianna. In addition to Monteverdi, this remake features traditional music from all over the world and newly composed works. Three composers, Aspasia Nasopoulou, Kaveh Vares and Haytham Safia, were inspired by their own musical traditions and the style of Monteverdi. With an unparalleled cast: Aylin Sezer as Arïanna, Sinan Vural as Dionysos, Sophie Fetokaki, Youmni Abou Al Zahab and the Iraqi-Kurdish Shwan Sulaiman who makes his debut as Theseus. This super-diverse opera in 7 languages transcends cultural differences and poetically questions social themes. Arïanna – Love Without Borders shows our shared global history, as inspiration for the future.
