Odeon of Herodes Atticus Athens
Athens, Attica
Odeon of Herodes Atticus is one of the most extraordinary concert venues in the world — a 5,000-seat stone amphitheater built by the Roman Herodes Atticus in 161 AD on the southern slope of the Acropolis beneath the Parthenon that presents the Athens Epidaurus Festival each summer. Performing beneath the Parthenon with the ancient Roman stage as your backdrop, in a theater that has been in continuous use for nearly 2,000 years, creates a concert experience that transcends entertainment to become a connection to the origins of Western civilization itself.
