After a series of successful gigs in Amsterdam, Brussels and Johannesburg, Anna Vissi will be visiting London to play an already sold-out charity concert at the Royal Opera House this Saturday 3rd November.

Anna, has had a busy October performing in Amsterdam, Brussels and Johannesburg and working on her new album expected to be released soon. All three concerts have been great successes and the popular Cypriot singer feels she has accomplished her goal to "seduce the non-Greeks with the Greek sound and make them feel Greek during the concert".

The European concerts were dedicated to the Greeks that suffered during this summer’s tragic fires that swept the country. Surpisingly, half of the audiences were non Greek coming from Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK and Germany. Anna surprised her fans by singing Elton John’s Sorry seems to be the hardest word, a song she wanted to sing since she was a child- “…well actually not a child" she laughed.

Her next scheduled appearance is on Saturday 3rd November when she will perform at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in London at the Oinoussian Gala. Anna will be accompanied by the 35-piece London Philarmonic Orchestra in the first part of the show. The second part will see a solo performance of Anna’s greatest hits to date. The blak-tie event is already sold out with the tickets reatailing at £200 each and the proceeds will go to the Oinoussian Benevolent Fund.

Anna will continue her European 2007-2008 tour next year with concerts in Sweden, Switzerland and Germany, more information on venues and ticketing will be announced shortly.Anna Vissi is one of the greatest stars in Greece and homeland Cyprus. She is estimated to have sold a total of almost 10 million records in her career spanning three decades. She is very familiar to Eurofans as she has taken part in the Eurovision Song Contest three times already, twice for Greece in 1980 and 2006 and once for Cyprus in 1982.
