During his tenure as General Artistic Director of theThessaloniki State Symphony Orchestrabetween 2004 and 2011, Myron Michailidis radically renewed the orchestra's programming and penetrated the international discography. He also conducted numerous concerts at the Orchestra's residence, theThessaloniki Concert Halland took it to various venues in Greece and abroad, such as theSmetana HallandRudolfinuminPrague(2009), theTeatro VerdiinFlorence(2009), theKonzerthausinBerlin(2010) etc. In December 2007, during the celebration events of theCultural Year of Greecein China, he took the Orchestra on tour inBeijing,host of the2008 Olympic Games,and conducted a historical performance at theForbidden City Concert Hall.

Greek National Opera (2011–2017)

[edit]
Entrance of theGreek National OperaHouse

In 2011, Myron Michailidis was appointed Artistic Director of theGreek National Opera(GNO) in Athens. Over his emblematic six-year tenure, and in the middle of the Greek economic debt crisis, Michailidis remarkably managed to increase both his profile and that of the Opera company, achievements which were both nationally and internationally acclaimed.[13][14][15][16][17]

Economically, Michailidis successfully restored a balanced budget for the institution, the accumulated debt of €17 million he inherited in 2011 being nearly fully recovered as soon as in 2014.[13][14][18][19]This notable result, achieved during theGreek economic crisis,has been obtained through specific spending cuts (but without dismissal of personnel) and by a substantial policy of public awareness, which significantly raised general and media interest for Lyric Art and increased both tickets sales and filling rates.

Michailidis indeed opened the doors of the Opera to a genuinely new audience and developed a large array of innovative artistic, cultural, societal and educational activities (which were all presented by the Maestro during his emblematicTEDxAcademy2014 talk),[20]such as open rehearsals, musical promenades in the streets of Athens, dance in city squares, open-air free concerts and opera galas in unconventional venues (such as theport of Piraeusfor a "waltz of the ferry boats",[21]theAthens International Airport,themetro stations,the popularVarvakeio central market,or the esplanades of theAthens National Archaeological Museumor of the NewAcropolis Museum,etc.).[13][18]Other initiatives included the programs "Suitcase Opera" (operas in miniature form performed in Greek peripheral cities) and "Opera Bus"[22](double-decker bus on which the singers of the Opera company performed to passers-by in the streets of Athens), the establishment of a "GNO Children’s Chorus"[23](of about 80 members, which sung for US presidentBarack Obamaat the occasion of his official visit to Athens in 2016) and of a "Young Artists Program", and a participation to the EU outreach program "Interactive Opera for Primary Schools", which concerned 45,000 pupils in 147 schools in Greek regions.[18][24]

In parallel, Michailidis developed a framework for international co-productions with large lyrical theaters such as theRoyal Opera House of Covent Gardenin London, theWelsh National Opera,theVienna State Opera,theArena di Verona Festival,theTeatro La Fenicein Venice[18][19].He also deepened and extended GNO's relations with other European theaters as a member of the European Forum of Lyrical Theaters,Opera Europa.[18]

Artistically, Michailidis conducted many opera performances within the walls of GNO's historic building (Olympia Theater, 700 seats), in the open-air anticHerodes Atticus Theater(under theAcropolis,5,000 seats) during the annual summer'sAthens Festivaland in the two halls of theMegaro Mousikis(Athens Concert Hall, 2,000 & 1,750 seats), with a majority of representations sold out. He conductedLes contes d'Hoffmann(2001),L'elisir d'amore(2002),Fedora(2002),Tosca(2004 & 2012),Il Trovatore(2005),L'italiana in Algeri(2006),La Traviata(2010),Die Zauberflöte(2010 & 2011),Faust(2012),I vespri siciliani(2013),Madama Butterfly(2013),Macbeth(2014),Otello(2014),La Bohème(2015),Tristan und Isolde(2015),Aida(2016) andLohengrin(2017). GNO's repertoire was significantly increased and proposed 35 new opera and operetta titles, as well as 11 new ballets.

Michailidis also continued to champion the production of rare works and of contemporary music. Notably, he produced stage performances of contemporary works composed by 6 Greek modern composers, and in 2014, the creation in world's premiere of the contemporary OperaThe Murderess(Η Φόνισσα,based on the famous novel byAlexandros Papadiamantis) written byGiorgos Koumendakis,GNO's "composer in residence".[25]Michailidis also conducted the GNO Orchestra & Choir in two novel productions ofRichard Wagner'sOperas:Tristan und Isolde(2015, staged byYiannis Kokkos)[26]andLohengrin(2017, staged by Anthony McDonald),[27]which were both heard for the first time in Greek history, in their integral, original and scenic versions.[18]

TheGreek National OperaHouse in theStavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center(SNFCC) newly built by architectRenzo Piano(2017)

One of Michailidis most successful long-term achievement was certainly the relocation of the GNO in 2017 from its former venue, the historic Olympia Theater located in the center of Athens, to its newly built headquarters in theStavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center(SNFCC), a state-of-the-art performing arts center designed by famous architectRenzo Piano,which includes new facilities for theNational Library of Greece(NLG) and for theGreek National Opera(GNO) (new 1,400-seat Opera Hall), located in a 210,000 m² park nearby Athens center, inPalaio Faliro,on theAthens riviera.Notably, in 2014, before the move, Michailidis conducted a strikingly poetic live performance of the GNO orchestra on the construction site of the SNFCC, during which10 tower cranesliterally “danced” to the music ofGustav Holst'sThe Planets,with Renato Zanella's unique choreography.[28]

After completing two mandates at the GNO, and a few months only before GNO's final installation in the SNFCC, the Greek Ministry of Culture announced to the general surprise in February 2017 that Michailidis contract will not be extend beyond that season, provoking a great shock in public opinion.[29]Following his invitation at theOpera House of Shanghaito conductDonizetti'sLa Fille du régiment(for its first presentation on Chinese soil) and at theTheater Erfurtto conduct the rareGiulietta e RomeoofRiccardo Zandonai,it was announced, late 2017, that Michailidis was chosen by the direction of theTheater Erfurtand by the members theErfurt Philharmonic Orchestrato become their newGeneralmusikdirektor(GMD) for the next two seasons.[2]
