September At The Maria Callas Museum

The Maria Callas Museum of Athens has an exciting lineup of events this September, honoring the legacy of the legendary opera singer and offering a variety of cultural and educational activities for visitors of all ages.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store:

On Sunday, September 15, the Maria Callas Museum commemorates the anniversary of the soprano’s passing (September 16) by offering reduced admission to its exhibition spaces.

At 6:00 PM, across from the museum at Mitropoleos Square, a free concert will be held in her memory. The ARUNDOS wind trio from the Athens Municipal Symphony Orchestra will perform a soothing and sweet tribute featuring works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Ibert. This peaceful concert is the perfect way to reflect on the life and legacy of Maria Callas.

The Maria Callas Museum joins the celebration of European Heritage Days 2024, offering free admission to all visitors on Sunday, September 29, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. To visit, you will need to reserve a free entry ticket in advance.

In collaboration with the Industrial Gas Museum, the Maria Callas Museum will celebrate European Heritage Days 2024 with a unique event focused on the evolution of lighting in the theater.

Featuring a 20th-century gas lamp and a book of records from the lamplighters who worked at the gas plant in Gazi, the event will include expert talks and a hands-on workshop for adults. Stay tuned for more details on this illuminating experience!

This September, the Maria Callas Museum returns with a refreshed lineup of educational programs for both schools and families. Each Sunday, the museum will offer playful and imaginative family-friendly activities that explore the world of the arts. Plan your visit today!

Kids and their families will get to immerse themselves in the world of opera through a creative movement workshop based on Giuseppe Verdi’s famous work, La Traviata. This interactive program will have participants using their bodies to bring scenes from the opera to life, helping them understand the flow of movement and inspiring them to create their own choreography.

Where will your postcard travel? Every Saturday and Sunday in September, from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM, children and adults can create their own souvenir postcard featuring a portrait of Maria Callas using the stencil technique. In this fun and artistic activity, participants will get to know the iconic diva and take home a personalized keepsake to remember the experience.
