Greater Athens Region

19/06/2026

A sensational send-off for the Odeon of Herodes Atticus before it gets a bit of a facelift.

Ethereal, bold, traditional, modern...comedy, tragedy…something for everyone, concluding with Mahler’s soul-stirring 8th Symphony and John Legend’s innovative R&B.

🎭🎶A June to remember under the Acropolis before we bid you adieu.
