What I can see
The events of the Heptapyrgion Festival take place during the summer in the courtyard of a unique monument, from which it took its name. It is a new festival that has been “embraced” by residents and visitors. It hosts hundreds of artists and its program is inclusive with musical and theatrical performances and concerts.
What I can't see
The Heptapyrgion Festival can present from opera to rebetiko songs, has an extroverted profile since its foundation and aims for more high-level productions, without being an elitist festival at the same time. Instead, it aspires to make art accessible to everyone.
