埃庇道鲁斯剧场，希腊

埃庇道鲁斯剧场隐藏在离雅典约100英里的埃庇道鲁斯山丘之中。它是一座保存完好的古希腊剧场，巨大的露天场地可以容纳超过14000名观众。这种希腊礼堂分三个部分，一是圆形主舞台，二是背景建筑，三是次第升高的观众席。埃庇道鲁斯剧场是一项工程壮举，它的建筑结构非常精妙，使剧场拥有完美的音响效果和良好的观赏效果。这座剧场原本是用于供奉古希腊医药之神阿斯克勒庇俄斯的。自1954年以来，该剧场上演了多位著名希腊演员和国际演员的戏剧和音乐表演。

Ancient theater of Epidaurus, Greece

Hidden in the hills of Epidaurus, about 100 miles from Athens, Greece, lies the ancient theater of Epidaurus. It's the embodiment of perfect classical proportions applied to the performing arts. A well-preserved Greek theater from ancient times, the massive open-air venue can hold more than 14,000 spectators. The three main features of the Greek auditoria are the orchestra, a circular space used as the main stage, the skene or stage building used as a backdrop, and lastly the cavea, or the auditorium, an ascending row of seats in a semi-circular shape. It is a feat of engineering built into the hillside with such precision that the theater has both perfect acoustics and an optimal structure for better viewing. The theater was dedicated to the Greek god of medicine, Asclepius. Since 1954, the theater has welcomed drama and music performances from several famous Greek and international actors.
