Luigi Cherubini’s “Medea”, presented by the Greek National Opera at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus on Saturday 20 June, was greeted with rapturous acclaim.
Ten thousand spectators applauded the highly refined reconstruction of the historic production of Medea, which Maria Callas had sung on the same stage in 1961.
