The Pre-Raphailite painters, believed that beauty is a form of intelligent and perhaps more superior because it is not necessary to be explained. Jane Morris will be performed by the actress Magda Mavrogianni and the Greek Maria Stillman Spartali will be performed by the soprano Maira Milolidaki. The gentle voice of countertenor's Nikos Spanatis will convey to us the spirit and aesthetics of the Pre-Raphailite painters and the pianistic virtuosity of Titos Gouvelis will merge theater and music.
