Elisavet Katikaridou Kalamaria (Greek: Ελισάβετ Κατικαρίδου Καλαμαριά; 2 October 1948[1] – 11 August 2023), best known as Lizeta Nikolaou (Greek: Λιζέτα Νικολάου), was a Greek singer.

Life and career

[edit]

Born in Thessaloniki into a family of Pontian origins, Nikolaou began his career as a singer in 1970, performing in the stage musical Dilina.[2] In 1973 she started collaborating on stage and in studio with Vassilis Tsitsanis.[3] She got her breakout thanks to the collaboration with Yannis Markopoulos in three successful albums released between 1974 and 1975.[3] In 1977, she released her first solo album Χαμόγελο της Λιζέτας ("Smile of Lizeta"), which included songs by Tsitsanis, Markopoulos, Giannis Spanos, and Dimos Moutsis.[2][3]

During her career Nikolaou recorded over 150 songs.[3] Between 1978 and 1983, she was married to journalist and politician Giorgos Lianis.[2] She died from the consequences of a fall from a shop staircase in which she severely hit her head on 11 August 2023, at the age of 74.[2][3]
