ODEON OF HERODES ATTICUS

ODEON OF HERODES ATTICUS

The ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus theatre, known locally as “Herodeon”, is a highly-acclaimed attraction in Athens and renowned as one of the finest open-air theaters globally. It was built between 160AD – 174AD by the wealthy benefactor of Athens, Herodes Atticus as an ode to his late wife Rigilla and served as a venue for music concerts with a capacity of 5,000. This historic stone theatre has gone on to host some of the world’s best musical performances by artists such as Nana Mouskouri, Luciano Pavarotti and Frank Sinatra. Today, majestic ballets, arias, ancient Greek tragedies, and grand concerts are presented in an inspiring environment that harmoniously blends the contemporary world with the ancient Hellenic spirit.
