The masterpiece of Cretan literature by Vitsentzos Kornaros was showcased at the Herod Atticus Odeon, under the direction of Ilias Malandris, featuring music composed by Christos Leontis and Antonis Papangelis. A unique collaboration of eminent artists such as Nikitas Tsakiroglou, Despoina Bebedeli, Grigoris Valtinos, Lefteris Eleftheriou, along with Psarantonis and Niki Xylouri, accompanied by the Choir of Byzantine Music ‘Tettix’, led by the protopsaltis Giorgos Naoum, alongside a diverse ensemble of actors, musicians, and dancers.
Representative of the Renaissance era, likely penned in the 17th century, the performance serves as a significant link between ancient drama and Renaissance art. Throughout its narrative, the piece transforms the myth of religious tradition into a folk spectacle, incorporating elements of folk music. Additionally, marking its premiere, the original 16th-century work, Lo Isach by Luigi Grotto, considered a precursor to The Sacrifice, is integrated into the production.
