Then, Novoflot will present the groundbreaking work Opera #2 – On the Ropes (About the End) on the GNO Alternative Stage on 7 and 8 October 2022, at 20.30, a production playfully described by the trailblazing German company as “Monteverdi’s first lost opera”!

Novoflot regularly collaborate with an elect team of international artists from different fields, such as architecture, cinema, contemporary dance, as well as special singers, musicians and ensembles from the jazz and contemporary music scenes.It is these features that make them an open-minded opera company, associated with and targeted at a wide range of diverse audiences, as they solidly adjust to the particular local character of the destinations to which they tour.

On their first visit on Greek ground, Novoflot will present the two final pars of their ingenious, three-year trilogy titled The Opera #1-#3, a project that takes up Claudio Monteverdi's three known works and... fills in the missing pieces one by one!

 

 Opera  #2 – On the Ropes (About the End) on the GNO Alternative Stage

What would have happened if Monteverdi, the so-called “founding father” of the opera genre, had not only bequeathed us his three famous works L’Orfeo, Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria and L'incoronazione di Poppea, but also with the fifteen operas he had worked on, whose scores are nowadays deemed lost? How would the genre have evolved? Would opera look and sound different today?... Based on motifs from Monteverdi’s L'incoronazione di Poppea, Novoflot finally present this great composer’s… first lost opera, featuring the Chamber Ensemble of the Athens Youth Symphony Orchestra-ASON and the jazz trio Johnny La Marama.
