Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky is a ballet production by the Greek National Opera Ballet, staged at the Stavros Niarchos Hall across five nights on 14, 16, 21, 22 and 23 February 2025. The choreography, concept and direction are by the Spanish choreographer Cayetano Soto, with staging, costumes and lighting by Dario Suša. The score draws on Tchaikovsky’s letters and Pathétique Symphony and music from Eugene Onegin. The work was first made for the ballet company of Rijeka in Croatia in 2023.

Philippe Forget conducted. Konstantinos Rigos, director of the GNO Ballet, brought the production into the company’s Athens repertoire. The Stavros Niarchos Hall is the larger of the two stages within the Renzo Piano–designed Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, a building given to the Greek state by the Foundation and opened in 2016.
