PAN-MACEDONIAN
ASSOCIATION TO PRODUCE OPERA IN AID OF HELLENIC HOME
The
Pan-Macedonian Association of Ontario will produce “Alexander the
Great”, an epic opera by Panayiotis Karousos on February 15, 2009 at the
P.C. Ho Theatre in Toronto.
A
concert version of the opera will be performed in order to raise funds for
the Hellenic Home for the Aged and the St. Cyril and Methodius Chapel that
the Home is building.
“Alexander
the Great” premiered in Montreal in 2007 and has been performed in
Chicago and Washington D.C. Karousos is a prolific composer residing in
Montreal and he is participating with his work to the benefit of the
Hellenic Home.
“We
are very pleased to be able to produce a work by a young Greek composer
and to help the Hellenic Home” said James Karas, the president of the
Pan-Macedonian Association. “It will be a new experience of many people.
Opera is no a common pastime for Greeks.”
“The
Hellenic Home is thrilled with the offer of the Pan-Macedonian
Association” said Irene Keroglidis, the Vice President of the Hellenic
Home. “The board of directors has embraced the idea and we will all work
very hard to make sure it is a success.”
“Alexander
the Great” will be performed at the P.C. Ho Theatre in the Chinese
Cultural Centre, 5183 Sheppard Ave. East, Toronto Ontario on February 15,
