About
The Athens and Epidaurus Festival is one of the most famous performing arts events in Greece’s calendar. Every summer, for the past 50 years, a whole host of performers have taken part; including Pavarotti, for example, and the festival’s programme involves open-air theater, opera, classical music, and dance at various locations around Athens including the modern concert hall to the ancient amphitheater Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Ancient theatrical performances also take part in the ancient Epidaurus Theater, two hours from Athens. Past performances have included actors such as Kevin Spacey (Richard III) and Ethan Hawke (A Winter’s Tale). It's a great opportunity to experience cultural events in atmospheric locations, surrounded by history.
