Antonis Remos has decided to do something brand new for his performances. He began performing live at the Athinon Arena with Celine Dion's Cirque Du Soleil dancers. This is something that his Greek audience has not yet seen. Remos stated he only wanted to perform this winter season if he could do something different for his audience. The acrobats have their own show that they put on for the crowd until about 1am, which is when Antonis Remos enters the stage and starts singing while they are behind him. Another change to his performance this year will be the very large backdrop that is behind him, which is essentially a large screen that projects different images and scenes while he is singing. An example of the scenes is one in which he is shown to be submerged in water. Antonis Remos has decided to do something brand new for his performances.

Some celebrities in attendance included Zeta Makripoulia, Natassa Theodoridou, Themi Giorgantas, Marinella, Peggy Zina, and Giannis Parios, who were among the over 2,000 people who there at the Friday opener. In a recent interview, Remos stated that one of the main things he wanted to bring to his show was “a new sense of technology and talent.” With background dancers, Cirque du Soleil performers and a very large changing backdrop, Remos has definately accomplished his goal of bringing something new to his 2008-2009 show.
