On the 5th of January 2024 at 20:00 and on the 7th of January 2024 at 19:30 at the Alternative Stage.
Part of the series of actions "All Together At The Opera" of the GNO Learning & Participation Department.
The masterpiece and Tony award-winning musical "Into the Woods" by leading composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim and the great writer James Lapine returns to the GNO Alternative Stage, at the SNFCC, in the new approved version for piano and percussion. "Into the Woods" is a dark coming-of-age tale, full of fascinating melodies, constant plot twists, disarming humour and an evocative atmosphere. The Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and his Beanstalk, and Rapunzel all wander off deep into the woods and get involved in a modular story that reverses their known paths and evolves in a totally unpredictable and gripping way, exactly like life.
The performances of "Into the Woods" on the 5th and on the 7th of January 2024 will be universally accessible through the services of live interpreting in the Greek Sign Language, live surtitling with depiction of the auditory channel of communication and audio description provided by ATLAS E.P. and its partners.
