Melodies that relaxed us. Rhythms that made us dance. Words and lyrics from favorite songs, Greek and foreign, that we whispered. An outdoor musical cinema that takes us to the most glamorous capitals of classical music and opera and to the biggest festivals in the world. A screen of black and white frames from the silent film era, with live music from a piano giving them voice. Colorful shadow theater images on a white beret that spread smiles!
