Mikis Theodorakis: Alexis Sorbas Ballett Suite
In the 1960s, Mikis Theodorakis' film music to Alexis Sorbas reawakened
listeners' longing for Greece. And many people still see visions of
Anthony Quinn when they hear the Sirtaki. In 1988, using his composition
for this film as starting point, Mikis Theodorakis wrote his Alexis
Sorbas Ballet Suite, which premiered in the Arena di Verona. It was
Theodorakis' wish for this work to be performed in Bonn by the best
young German musicians. The Federal Youth Orchestra, an association
of young, highly-gifted, instrumentalists from throughout the country
and the NRW State Youth Choir, its North-Rhine Westphalian counterpart,
will be performing the ballet suite, with Antigone Papoulkas, one
of the most excellent young German artists, as soloist.
