Extraordinary!! Breathtaking place that everyone should visit
THALIA HAMALELI
A great Athenian theater with unique actors in an all time classic play. Thank all of them (including musicians - Mr Kraounakis songs- and the rest) for giving us such an amazing experience!!!!!

The Barber of Seville was exceptional! The theater a classic.

Second time after a long period of no visit. The theater is good, well equipped stage with great sound and the whole atmosphere takes you 40-50 years back in time, Well I suppose that is the age of the theater as well but I may be wrong ☺️ The piece we saw was not great though. "The Barber of Seville" was somewhat less than what I was expecting. Maybe next time I shouldn't expect, but that's what...
