Hamlet, one of William Shakespeare’s best-known plays, has been performed in countless theatres around the world for more than 400 years. It tells the story of the Prince of Denmark, whose father’s ghost reveals that the new king poisoned him to claim the crown and the queen. Hamlet resolves to avenge his father’s death. Yet it is his own choices, growing obsession with revenge, and the gradual unravelling of his mind that ultimately define the tragedy.

‘Some stories belong to a nation. Some belong to an era. And some refuse to remain in one time, because they speak of the human fracture itself. Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire is one of those stories’, notes the creator Valentina Turcu about the ballet production of the same name, which will be presented by the Greek National Opera Ballet in February and March 2027. Based on Tennessee Williams’ emblematic play, this work offers a contemporary, profoundly psychological interpretation of one of the 20th century’s most important texts, conveying its dramatic tension through physical language and movement. A Streetcar Named Desire is a co-production with the Maribor Slovene National Theatre, made possible by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) to enhance the GNO’s artistic outreach.
