[01] Herod Atticus Odeon ranked second in Canadian list of world's
leading theatres
The Herod Atticus Odeon beneath the Acropolis is the second-best place
in the world to watch live performances, according to a list appearing
in a special supplement in Canada's "Globe and Mail" newspaper.
Dealing more specifically with the use of privileges from credit cards
under the headline "Top venues for live theatre," the list presents the
best venues in the world for live theatre, dance and music.
As regards the Herod Atticus, there is a reference to its history,
while it is termed the best example of an authentic Greek amphitheatre
and is described as "the perfect location where modern music meets with
the ancient atmosphere." It is the ideal of all artists, the report says.
Topping the list is England's Minack Theatre, Porthcurno and it is
followed by the Herod Atticus Odeon in Athens, the Sydney Opera House,
Milan's La Scala, New York's Carnegie Hall, Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre
and other famous venues around the world.
