The world‑famous soprano Aida Garifulina at the Ancient Theatre of Kourio
When: 09.10.2026 00:00
Organizer: Admin
Together with the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra
For the first time in Cyprus, one of the biggest opera stars, the internationally recognized soprano Aida Garifulina — soloist of the Vienna State Opera and the Metropolitan Opera (New York) — will give two exclusive concerts at the ancient Kourion theater on October 9 and 10, 2026.
Aida Garifulina is one of the brightest and most sought‑after sopranos of our time. Her voice has graced the stages of the world’s greatest opera houses such as La Scala (Milan), the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (London), the Metropolitan Opera (New York), the Vienna State Opera and the Paris National Opera. She has collaborated with the most eminent artists of the contemporary era such as Andrea Bocelli and Plácido Domingo.
In 2018, Aida Garifulina together with Robin Williams opened the FIFA World Cup final at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow — a performance that stands as one of the most widely broadcast musical events in history, watched live by at least 3 billion viewers worldwide.
This season, Garifulina is performing leading roles at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (London) and the Paris Opera. The arrival of an artist of this caliber in Cyprus is an event of exceptional cultural significance.
The concert program gathers masterpieces of world opera and classical music such as “Habanera” from Carmen (Bizet), the Waltz of the Juliets (Gounod), “O soave fanciulla” from La Bohème and from La Traviata (Verdi) and other gems of the classic global repertoire.
Together with Aida Garifulina will appear tenor Kirill Sikora and baritone Semion Antakov, accompanied by the Cyprus Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Myron Michailidis.
