Anna Vissi in London charity concert on Saturday 3 November

Cypriot pop goddess will visit London on Saturday 3 November for a sold-out performance at the Covent Garden Hall.

Anna Vissi is set to perform at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden at the invitation of the Oinoussian Association and the Life Action.

The Cyprus diva is to be accompanied by the London Philarmonic Orchestra - the 35-piece orchestra will perform with Anna Vissi in the first segment of the show. The final segment will see the solo section - Anna Vissi performing her greatest hits to date.

The singer had visited Amsterdam (October 5), Brussels (October 7), and in Johannesburg at the Emperors Palace (October 13) where she guided the audience through her greatest hits to date.

She surprised the audience by singing John Elton's 'Sorry seems to be the hardest word' - "a song I love singing from when I was a child - well actually not a child" in a jibe to the crowd.

Anna had spoken of Greek communities abroad as an extension of "the other Greece" and wanted her tour to "seduce the non-Greeks with the Greek sound and make them feel Greek during the concert" .

The fans were whipped into a veritable frenzy as a result of Anna's charismatic fervour. Her concerts in Belgium and Netherlands saw people come from England, Germany, Greece and Cyprus - with at least half of those non-Greeks. Those performances were intended to honour the victims which followed Greece's wild fires.

Anna will conclude her tour in March with further visits to Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and many other European destinations.

The long-awaited album is set for release prior to the advent of Christmas.
