🎭 West & Beyond: West End Stars in Concert.
Aris just finished music-directing four stunning performances of the show West End & Beyond: West End Stars in Concert which took place last weekend (Jan 5 - Jan 7, 2024). The Pattihio Theater in Limassol played host to an unforgettable weekend, graced by the remarkable talents of West End and Broadway luminaries Earl Carpenter (played the title role in the Phantom of the Opera 1600+ times; Javert in Les Misérables 2000+ times; Beast in Disney's Beauty and the Beast; and many more), Holly-Anne Hull (played Christine in The Phantom of the Opera on the West End; Cosette in Les Misérables), Olivia Brereton (Christine in the Phantom of the Opera; Fatine in Les Misérables; The Woman in White), Laura Byrnes (Miss Honey in Matilda on the West End; Cinderella in Cinderella; Jane Seymour in Six The Musical; Carol King in Beautiful - The Carole King Musical), and George Maddison (Oklahoma!; Mamma Mia!). The synergy between these stars and the Trakart Pops Orchestra created an enchanting tapestry of music, weaving together iconic songs from hit musicals - orchestrated by Aris specifically for the TrakArt Pops - that left audiences in awe. We're still basking in the afterglow of this extraordinary night, having received many emails and messages of support and admiration. These have been forwarded to Aris and the production team who extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone for their support and love. Aris also wishes to thank the entire team behind this show who made this project a sold-out success!
🎶 Upcoming Musical Extravaganza
The show must go on, and Aris is thrilled to announce an upcoming musical spectacle that promises to be nothing short of spectacular. Join us on January 22 and 23 at the Municipal Theater in Nicosia, and on January 26 and 27 at the Pattihio Theater in Limassol for a unique concert experience. Aris will once again take the conductor's baton, leading the Trakart Pops Orchestra in a collaboration with acclaimed composers (and pianists!) George Hatzinasios and Stefanos Korkolis who, after their sold-out success at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens, will meet on stage together in Cyprus for the first time. Our guest singers for these performances will be the incredibly talented Sofia Manousaki and Doros Dimosthenous. Don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in the magic of live Greek music with an orchestra! Some tickets are still available on ticketmaster.cy
