Inaugural Concert – July 19, 2025 | Saint Anna Winery, Naxos
An unforgettable evening of wine and opera awaits!
Opera Naxos invites you to its inaugural concert: Opera Tastings, a one-of-a-kind sensory celebration where the richness of operatic music is paired with the unique flavors of Naxian wine and cheese.
​​
Join us under the summer sky at the Saint Anna Winery for an evening of exceptional artistry and local flavor. Internationally acclaimed soprano Myrtò Papatanasiu, tenor Alexander Gmeinder, and Greek-American baritone Evan Bravos will present a curated program of arias spanning the operatic canon—each selected to complement a tasting led by celebrated sommelier Manolis Petrakis.
About Opera Naxos​
Founded by baritone Evan Bravos, Opera Naxos is a new cultural initiative rooted in heritage, hospitality, and the transformative power of music. As a descendant of the Linardos, Sofikitos and Vernikos families of Sangri, Bravos returns to the island not just as an artist, but as a native son—launching this project to honor and enliven the artistic spirit of his ancestral home.
​
Following a 2017 recital at the Kampanelis Museum in Chora, this summer marks the first step toward building a lasting operatic presence on Naxos. Whether you are a longtime opera lover or a newcomer to the art form, we invite you to share in this special beginning.
