Anna Vissi travels to Paris amid public dispute with Nikos Karvelas

Greek singer Anna Vissi has traveled to Paris, France, accompanied by Dimitra Kousta, her close friend and business partner in music production. Reports from October 12, 2026, indicate that the trip centers on attending a concert by Celine Dion. The departure follows a week of public tension and a highly publicized disagreement between Vissi and composer Nikos Karvelas, which escalated after her recent concert at OAKA.

Following the conflict, Karvelas has reportedly decided to control which artists may perform his compositions. Vissi has engaged lawyer Michalis Dimitrakopoulos to manage the legal aspects of the dispute. While her camp maintains that all financial matters regarding her concerts are handled in accordance with the law, Vissi recently broke her social media silence by reposting a video of her song "Kontra" on TikTok, accompanied by a caption addressing the ongoing situation with Karvelas.

As of now, Vissi remains in Paris. The legal dispute continues to unfold, with further developments regarding the usage rights of Karvelas's extensive music catalog expected to be addressed by her legal counsel.
