Celebrate Maria Callas’s legacy at the Maria Callas Museum with free admission to the permanent exhibition on 2 December and an open street party on 5 December. Music, cocktails, discounts and a celebration of the eternal diva
The Maria Callas Museum of the City of Athens celebrates once again the birth anniversary of the iconic soprano (2 December 1923) with the brightest, most vibrant tradition: a large street party right in the heart of the city!
On Friday, 5 December, from 20:00 onwards, Petraki Street -just behind the Museum- lights up with festive energy, music, and rhythm for the third edition of a party that has already become an annual favourite. This year’s CALLAS LIVES ON: THE PARTY! promises another night full of surprises and great music, honouring the timeless legacy of Maria Callas.
In collaboration with Kosmos 93.6, music will be curated by Michalis Kamakas, who will deliver a specially crafted DJ set blending groovy funk–disco vibes with select world-music touches.
La Divina café, will be serving fine wines from “Remake Wines”, drinks, and cocktails at special prices. The museum shop will offer exclusive one-night-only discounts on selected items perfect for gifts or collectors.
Throughout the evening, guests will also have the chance to visit the permanent exhibition of the Maria Callas Museum with reduced general admission.
Two events with a shared purpose to open the doors to the world and legacy of Maria Callas, and to honour her timeless brilliance.
