Giorgos Lanthimos: On May 6, the premiere of his new film “Vlichi” – Watch the trailer

by

His new long-awaited movie George Lanthimos entitled Vlichi, which is the second assignment of the program of ELS and NEON The Artist on the Composer, will make its world premiere, accompanied by ensembles, on 6, 7 and 8 May 2022 at the Stavros Niarchos Hall of the National Opera at the SNFCC. The production, on the part of the National Opera, is implemented with the support of the donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation to strengthen its artistic extroversion.

The award-winning Greek filmmaker, accepting the proposal of the Artistic Director of ELS George Koumentakis and the Director of NEON Elina Kountourisigned the production, screenplay and direction of the short film Rain, which was shot in February 2020 in Tinos, starring the Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone and the distinguished French actor Damian Bonnar.

The program The Artist on the Composera collaboration of National Opera and the NEON Culture and Development Organization neon.org.gr, connects pioneering contemporary artists and directors and / or filmmakers with live orchestral music performance. Through works that are the fruit of new assignments, each artist converses with works by classical composers, free from the usual operatic conventions and narrative, opening up to an audience that may not have previously dealt with opera.

After the installation of Nikos Navridis in 2019, the great Greek director with international recognition George Lanthimos takes the baton of the second assignment of The Artist on the Composer and creates a new film, which will always be presented accompanied by ensembles. The soundtrack of the film consists of works by GS Bach / Knut Nysted and Tosio Hosokawa, which will be performed live on Stavros Niarchos Hall by the soloists Angelina Tkacheva (cymbal), Wu Wei (ceng), the quartet “Maria Callas” and the ERT Choir.
