Centred around the timeless melodies and poetic legacy of Greece’s legendary composer Mikis Theodorakis, director and creator Giorgos Valaris presents the iconic stage production Beautiful City (Omorfi Poli) in Cyprus for the first time. The performance is part of the officially declared Mikis Theodorakis Tribute Year, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of his birth, as recognised by the Greek Ministry of Culture.

Through Theodorakis’ powerful poetic texts—exploring universal themes such as love, exile, death, and Hellenism—and his emblematic songs that have shaped generations (“Omorfi Poli,” “To Tragoudi tou Nekrou Adelfou,” “Feggari Magia Mou 'Kanes,” “Tis Dikaiosynis Ilie Noite,” “Vrechei sti Ftochegonia,” among others), the production offers a deeply moving and modern audiovisual experience.

After its celebrated revival in 2020 and acclaimed performances at the Athens and Thessaloniki Concert Halls and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus—and following sold-out shows in Athens (Pallas) and Thessaloniki earlier this year—the production continues its international tour, beginning with Cyprus.

The performances will feature some of Greece’s most celebrated performers: Manolis Mitsias, Dimitris Basis, and Giota Negka, alongside renowned tragedian Lydia Koniordou and award-winning actor Michalis Sarantis.
