Norma, 24 August 1960, Epídhavros, Ancient Greek Theatre, act 2 scene 3

Greek theaters had large semicircle amphitheaters for the audience and could be built into a hill. In the center of the amphitheater is an orchestra. Behind the orchestra is the skene which served as a place for actors to change masks and costumes. Passages were also frequently used in Greek theater to aid elaborate entrances and exits for the chorus.

The theater at Epidavros is 2,000 years old and still hosting performances.
