In June 1963, 63 years ago, a historic musical performance, "A Magical City", was performed at the Park Theater, Athens, the songs of which were written by Manos Hadjidakis and Mikis Theodorakis. A year earlier, the same theater hosted the equally legendary musical performance "Beautiful City", with music by Mikis Theodorakis. Those who lived at that time testify to how crucial the role and contribution of the two composers to the culture of the country was.
