1NEW YORK – Ancient Greece’s tragedies inspired the later European inventors of Opera and on March 26 the descendants Sophocles witnessed “Olympic Flame,” the first Greek opera ever seen at Lincoln Center at the Bruno Walter Auditorium near the renowned Metropolitan Opera House. Tenor Demetrios John Tsinopoulos declared the strength – sometimes expressed with nobility, other times with arrogance – of Heracles. The opera opens with his inauguration of the Olympic Games and he explains the importance of the Olympic flame, which reflect “a gift from Prometheus and a symbol for the games to honor the gods,” according to the program. His son Hyllos was presented by Kofi Hayford, whose stentorian bass voice served him well as Prometheus later in the opera.
