Ο κουρέας της Σεβίλλης

O koureas tis Sevillis is a children's opera adaptation at Theatro Poreia near Victoria Square, playing Sundays at 11:30 through April 2026. Six performer-musicians walk onstage carrying clarinets, saxophones, flutes, guitars, and a ukulele — then they start singing Rossini.

Director Chloe Mantazari returns with a production built around the idea that opera belongs to children as much as adults. The cast plays every instrument live while acting out Figaro helping Count Almaviva win Rosina's heart, blending commedia dell'arte physicality with operatic singing you can feel landing with a four-year-old audience. Seventy-five minutes, no intermission.

If your child needs constant spectacle, this relies on music and movement more than effects. But if you want a first encounter with opera that treats young ears as capable rather than fragile, Mantazari's cast makes that case.

Poreia is at Trikorfon 3, four minutes from Victoria metro. Tickets fourteen euros, twelve reduced, via ticketservices.gr. Rossini wrote this opera in thirteen days — your child gets seventy-five minutes to decide if they want more.
