Acropolis Theatre announces return of Cyrano de Bergerac

The Acropolis Theatre in Greece is set to stage a renewed production of Edmond Rostand’s classic play, Cyrano de Bergerac, starting November 11. The production features Vasilis Charalampopoulos in a career-defining role, alongside Danai Pappa as Roxane, Nikos Mellos as Christian, and Lefteris Zambetakis as Count De Guiche.

Directed by Giannis Kakleas with music by Evanthia Reboutsika, the performance utilizes a 15-syllable rhyming translation by Louiza Mitsakou. The production includes a cast of 16 actors and dancers, accompanied by a live orchestra. The play follows the story of a brave poet in 1640 Paris who secretly writes love letters to help a handsome but eloquent-lacking man win the heart of the woman he loves.
