Thessaloniki loves the TSSO and celebrates with its orchestra every New Year
03 January 2026
The New Year's concert of the TSSO
has been an institution for the city for decades, with people choosing to celebrate the start of each new year with their orchestra.
However, there were never enough seats to accommodate everyone who wanted to participate in this celebration, and so from 2019, the New Year's concerts began to be held in duplicate, with the only exception being the year of the pandemic.
This year is the first time that this concert is taking place on three consecutive days, and the few tickets left for tonight prove that the embrace of the TSSO
must constantly grow, in order to welcome all those who love it and celebrate with it.
The concert entitled 'Sissy' brings a big smile to those who watch it, either in person or on TV from ERT3 at yesterday's premiere, with the sparkle, the joy and the sweet nostalgia of its music, but also the interesting additional touch of the theatrical action.
Two internationally acclaimed opera singers, the German soprano Katharina Ruckgaber and the Danish tenor Peter Lodahl, perform arias from famous operettas, while the TSSO
adds famous Austrian polkas and waltzes, under the musical direction of Michalis Economou.
At the same time, Elena Megreli, in the role of everyone's beloved 'sad princess', introduces us to unknown aspects of her personality and reminds us of some of the most important incidents of her famous life, in texts and direction by Anthi Savvaki.
