with what we are used to as a people- they had
come to the ancient theater a lot
earlier.

The Herodion is suffocatingly full,
with brilliant personalities honoring her
great performer with presence
their. Applause before he appeared,
as if they want to welcome her.

And with where

Herodei, applauded for approx
two minutes from a standing audience. Yes they are
Greeks adore Nana Mouschouri
which carried Greekness to the extremes
of the earth.

With modesty, childhood sweet, or
Moushuri greeted her audience saying
"Thank you very much,
but I don't deserve it yet

the night". And with too much
honestly keep going: “Six ago
years, in Herodion, i said goodbye. But yes
when I came back".
