Hello! In early October, we took an excursion to the show "Lights of Anatolia". I liked everything. It is very impressive, everything is here at once, a combination of the atmosphere of an ancient theater, acoustics, lighting effects and dynamic dancing. The actors are dancers of the highest class. Everything was so fast and synchronized, which was not surprising when the intermission was announced. They really need to rest. The Troy show.
What would I recommend. Take something soft with you to sit on, since you have to sit on stone steps. If you are not a VIP, as it was with us, then you will be seated in the middle and there will be soft pads. It should also be borne in mind that the steps are almost polished and slippery from this, I personally slipped and fell. Everything in the buffet is expensive. For example, ice cream is 5 euros. We found out about this when we bought it, there are no price tags)))
In general, I highly recommend it!
It cost us $65 each with the road and dinner

A masterpiece! The views are unreal! Tickets have gone up a lot, around 500 lire. The architecture is fascinating. The events that take place in the Amphitheater are especially impressive. We went to a jazz concert and a ballet. The impressions are overwhelming - the starry sky, ancient walls and amazing music! Delight! My favorite place, I'm ready to come back here again and again!

We watched and listened to the Lights of Anatolia show. Cool.
Of course, lights and acoustic systems were added to the historical place. But where is it now without it.
The structure is impressive. If you have imagination, you can feel like a real patrician. Or by climbing to the top, the rabble.
You won't be able to jump on stage. Security.

A beautiful, fascinating place. We got to the ballet "Swan Lake". Acoustics and visibility from any location are good. To touch such a historical place in action is a great success.

It is worth visiting not only as a historical city with an excursion, but also to listen to the opera under the open sky, an unforgettable experience, every year in September the opera festival takes place.Not only famous artists come on stage, but also local Anatolian cats. This is the first time I've done this.

We watched the Lights of Anatolia show in the Aspendos Amphitheater. It looks very nice when all the girls and boys move in the same way and exactly to the beat of the music.
The exact date of the foundation of Aspendos is unknown: it is believed that this city appeared in Asia Minor around the XII century BC. It was part of either Lycia or Persia, and in the IV century BC. it was conquered by Alexander the Great. In the II century Aspendos became part of the Roman Empire and, along with neighboring Side, became one of the largest and most developed cities in this area. And in 165, the Aspendos amphitheater was built, which has been perfectly preserved to this day.
In ancient times, the Aspendos Theater was famous for its excellent acoustics. And it is also believed that it was here that the theater curtain was invented. We also advise you to pay attention to the interesting ornaments and stone sculptures of the stage – the ancient masters tried very hard so that you would not regret 35 lire for a ticket! In ancient times, the Aspendos Theater could accommodate about 15 thousand spectators, and a huge orchestra pit could accommodate half a thousand musicians. There are 41 auditorium rows in the Roman theater: the lower 20 were occupied by noble townspeople, the upper rows were crowded with commoners, they were separated from the rich by a wide passage.

We were here in September 2024 at a symphony orchestra concert. The combination of classical music and an ancient amphitheater is something exciting.

There is something in this -
in the theater ["... construction was started in the time of Anthony Pius and completed in the time of Marcus Aurelius (138-164)"] 41 "the auditorium: the lower 20 were occupied by noble townspeople, the upper rows [21] were crowded with commoners, they were separated from the rich by a wide passage"...
I remember the Soviet Classic:
"... three main objective and subjective signs describing the crisis situation developing in society on the eve of the revolution:
The upper classes cannot govern in the old way — the inability of the ruling class to maintain its dominance unchanged.
The lower classes do not want to live in the old way - a sharp aggravation above the usual needs and disasters of the oppressed classes and their desire to change their lives for the better.
A significant increase in the activity of the masses, attracted both by the whole situation of the crisis and by the "top" themselves to an independent historical performance."

I watched a dance show in this ancient theater. It was amazing! Very atmospheric! The acoustics are amazing! I bought tickets through the hotel guide, so they brought us and took us away, I don't know how to get there on my own)
What is important! If you are going to a performance, then take mosquito repellent and a pillow/towel with you to make it sit softer. It will be uncomfortable for 2 hours on a bare stone.

A wonderful and wonderful place. very atmospheric. The surroundings breathe of antiquity. In moments, you can imagine yourself in those times. The amphitheater is perfectly preserved. The aqueduct looks spectacular. Maximum recommendations for visiting. Preferably in winter. It is very hot in summer.

We walked there from Belek (don't do that, we're very tired.) When we got there, it turns out that the entrance costs: 15 euros per person, but we decided to go anyway. As a result, complete bullshit for such a lot of money.

Aspendos is my favorite place in Turkey. I really like the substitutions on this stage as part of the annual opera and ballet festival. We come to Aspendos every September. And special thanks to the organizers for the performance of Placido Domingo in 2022, it was amazing, unforgettable, priceless!
