In 1961, Nana Mouskouri was
leaving Athens behind to pursue the dream which Europe seemed to promise her.
Her confidence in herself and what she was doing, coupled with a lot of hard
work, made her an ambassador for Greek song, and her efforts have brought Greek
music to the four corners of the world. Now, 50 years since her debut, she
returns to bring her career to a sparkling end in one of her homeland’s most
glorious theatres. Singing everything from Hadjidakis to Dylan, and Irish
ballads to the polyphonic folk songs of Epirus, she shows us why she has
remained a star for so long, and what it is that has kept her at the top: her
sense of wonder. Wonder-struck at the gift Nature has bestowed on her, she
accepted it and made it part of herself without ever demanding admiration in
return [A.D.].
