This week is Europe Week and some of the highlights include the Embassy of Greece hosting a film screening of Maria Callas’ Biography, courtesy of the History Channel; the Embassy of Ireland and the Washington National Opera hosting performances of Tamerlano in which Placido Domingo makes his American debut in the role of Bajazet; and the Embassy of the Czech Republic is hosting a bagpipe rock concert.
