Rita Antonopoulou for Mikis Theodorakis: They told me not to talk to him, just sit down.

Moving moments that lived with two great, Mikis Theodorakis and him, Rita Antonopoulou remembered, speaking on the show “Morning in I saw” on Thursday (28.03.2024). “We were recording at the Music Hall, our first job and I remember having a moment of awareness in the chair. I saw in Cameroon writing “Anna, don’t cry” so that I could say it and next door it was Thanos Mikroutsikos. I was caught crying and he saw me, he said nothing, he just came and hugged me,” Rita Antonopoulou initially remembered about the great musician. She then referred to her unexpected encounter with the great Mikis Theodorakis. “We made the tribute to Kallimarmaro and went out first to say “Street old”. After I came down, a girl came from behind the scenes and told me that Mr. Theodorakis wants me to go sit next to him. They took me, put a chair next to him, told me not to talk to him, just sit down. He turned around, looked at me, grabbed one hand, and with the other hand he hit me right here in the chest, in the chest and turned to say ‘ my songs! My songs.” I was shocked, I kissed his hand and what I felt at the time was like he was telling me he feels like I’m saying it because I have it in me.”
