Romantic melodies and tango dance in an atmosphere of dreams and magic, accompanied by fine rosé wines of Aegialia, will be the main ingredients of the opening night of the “Oinoxenia 2024” Festival, which will be hosted at the “Giorgos Pappas” Outdoor Theater on Friday, August 23, at starting at 8.30 pm.
“The Tango of Nefelis” which “…stands out from all the vines”, marks this year’s “Bridges of Vineyards”, which is the motto of this year’s event. The city and the countryside are connected by a bridge of wine, just as tango connects Andalusia and Argentina with Loreena McKennitt’s Canada and Haroula Alexiou’s Greece.
The Athens Chamber Orchestra presents at this year’s “Wine Festival” a unique tribute to Greek tango and revives the musical atmosphere of old Athens, with the erotic melodies of the great interwar composers, while the stage is filled with dancers and steps.
Orchestration – Direction: Apollon Kouskoumvekakis. Song: Anna Matsouka, Maroula Kaskaveli.
Dance: Deppy Venezia and the dancers of Tango Amanti. He participates with a dance, the School of Tango expression-Aigio Tango Argentino.
At the same time, the taste test of the rosé wines of the slopes of Aegialia leads the pioneering race of local wines, as rosés emerge as a global trend.
Entry to the event will be free.
