That sound? That’s us, collectively cheering (and practising our stadium stomping) as live entertainment returns after nearly a year. Greece’s most prestigious arts showcase—the Athens Epidaurus Festival—is unleashing five months of world-class culture upon us (80 open-air performances no less, from June until October). Classical and contemporary gigs. Rebooted ancient theatre. Boundary breaking dance and subverted operas. Join us as we swap our lounge rooms for the sacred alchemy and unfiltered buzz of shared experience under the stars.
In Athens, the action jumps between the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus and Peiraios 260, a progressive contemporary culture hub, beloved by Athenians. With so much to choose from, we thought you might appreciate a heads-up about some must-see highlights. Don’t just take our word for it though. Scroll through the full programme guide and see what floats your boat. The phrase “something for everyone” has never rung truer.
