Ancient theatre – Odeon Of Herodes Atticus | Athens, Greece

This is Odeon of Herodes Atticus - an ancient theatre in Athens, located in the vicinity of the Akropolis. Opera stars and famous musicians have made memorable performances there.

It was a real pleasure for me to take pictures of this remarkable ancient theatre, created from stone. Those of you, who have visited the capital of Greece, know that it is located on the southwest slope of the famous Acropolis.

Odeon of Herodes Atticus – past and present

This building is among the best examples of Antique architecture, like The Panathenaic Stadium.

Its construction works were finalized in 161 AD. The ancient theatre was renovated in 1950, in order to be preserved for the future and to serve as a very special venue of cultural events.

Artists who have performed at Odeon Of Herodes

This ancient theatre in Athens has been actively used as an amphitheater on which stage many world-known musicians, singers and opera stars have performed. Some of them are: Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Montserrat Caballé, Vangelis, Yanni, Jean Michel Jarre, Paco de Lucía, Diana Ross, Ennio Morricone.

I would very, very much like to see a play or to attend a concert at this amazing place, one day. Of course, I envy those of you, who have already done it. Listening to beautiful music at such ancient amphitheater, with its unique background, must feel like real happiness.

  1. Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

    ich habe eine Frage: Besteht die Möglichkeit für Ihre Fotografie “Ein antikes Theater” eine Lizenz zur Nutzung zu erwerben? Falls ja, wie hoch wären die Kosten, in welcher Auflösung / Größe ist es erhältlich und wie lange und für welche Zwecke wäre die Nutzungsdauer möglich?

    Über eine Antwort würde ich mich sehr freuen!

    Herzlichen Dank!

    Freundliche Grüße

    Klemens Schmidt

    1. Sehr geehrter Herr Schmidt,

      vielen Dank für Ihre Kontaktaufnahme!

      Ja, im Allgemeinen könnte das Foto für eine Lizenzierung zur Verfügung stehen. Aufgrund der griechischen Gesetzgebung kann jedoch eine weitere Genehmigung der griechischen Behörden erforderlich sein, die mit einer zusätzlichen Gebühr verbunden sein kann. Wir können versuchen, dies für Sie zu koordinieren.

      Könnten Sie uns mitteilen, wofür das Foto verwendet werden soll, für welches Unternehmen, wie lange Sie es zu verwenden gedenken und wie hoch Ihr Budget ist? Auf dieser Grundlage können wir die Anfrage bei den Behörden stellen.

      Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

      Sonia
