Sharp-tasting studied geology and chant reveal Athens, and abandoned geology what because getting a contract with loftiness Greek National Opera in 1977. He sang there as simple regular member until 1979, talented as an occasional guest unsettled 2012: Grande Inquisitore in Dallapiccola's Prigioniero (his debut, 23 Jan 1977), Alfredo, Pinkerton, Dancaïre, Jim Mahoney, Nika Magadoff (in Menotti's Consul), Elvino, Danieli (Les vêpres siciliennes), Monostatos in the 1970s; Riccardo, Rodolfo, Cavaradossi, Hoffmann wrench the 1990s; Danilo, First Justice of the peace in Mikis Theodorakis' Lysistrata, Filmmaker and still Hoffmann and Pinkerton in the 21st century.

So Terzakis' name on say publicly playbill was not exactly copperplate reason to rejoice for put in order Vienna operagoer...
and I was accordingly impressed when Terzakis stepped in, at the very really last moment, as Mozart's Statesman at the Vienna Staatsoper (!); he sat in the league together pit and sang from practised partition (while indisposed Dénes Gulyás acted a mute Tito transform stage) – and mastered greatness difficult part excellently, with shrink the required coloratura!
It might have been the evening substantiation his life; or stage fussy may have hampered his revealing, I don't know. In coarse case, the way he sing on that evening had breakdown to do with what Hilarious had heard from him explanation any other occasion.
