Standing on the stage of the Aspendos Theater 1800 years ago

Turkey seems to have never had a name associated with it in the ancient civilizations of the four great civilizations, but it has a lot of familiar names to see the Turkish tour of the travel network: Troy, Fosso, Aspendos... ..., the contents of the visit are mostly ancient cities, theaters and some content related to Greek mythology. Turkey is at the intersection of two major civilizations: the two rivers and the Greek civilization. The two civilizations have bred this magical land together.

On a windless and sunny day we walked into this ancient city with a heavy history. The most interesting is the Aspendos Theatre. It is not because there are too many places of interest, or scenery. It was built in 161 AD. It was rebuilt in the 1920s in the 1920s. Now, the theater is still in use. Although the ancient theater has a history of more than 2,000 years, compared with the modern theater, its sound effect is no less than modern technology. It is said that Pavarotti did not use any sound-amplifying equipment during the concert, the last one of the theater. The audience in the row can still indulge in his singing voice. Every year, the Antalya Opera House hosts a summer tourism music festival to showcase its profound and profound opera rumors. Many world-renowned singers are proud to be able to hold personal concerts here.

When the car was parked outside the Aspendos theater built in the Roman period, looking at the complete tall walls in front of me, I suddenly had a premonition: the protection is so good, it must be worth seeing. Sure enough, through the arched door hole, suddenly, a very good ancient theater appeared in front of you, although not as spectacular as the Colosseum I have visited before, but the complete and excellent sound design of the building is amazing. This is currently one of the best preserved Roman theaters in the world.

The groove on the stage wall was originally a statue.

Those arched columns are the most exciting part of the theater.

I sat in the huge stone pavilion of the ancient theater of Aspendos, enjoying the sunshine of the Mediterranean. It can melt all the sunshine. It was so hot two thousand years ago? Rugged stone steps, mottled walls Silently telling the story of the most beautiful theater on the Mediterranean side, and in the semi-circular theater that once accommodated 20,000 people, the wonderful music seems to be still in the air.

The arcades and walls at the highest point of the theater are filled with vicissitudes

The 40-row spectator seats are divided into upper and lower parts. Each area has a central aisle between them. There are also 8 channels to evacuate the audience in the seating area. It is very similar to today's theater. The semi-circular part in front of the audience is the band, and then the front. It was the stage, and the wall facing the auditorium used to be used as a stage background, decorated with sculptures and statues. Later, these statues were removed. Now you can see some in the Antalya Museum. The highest point of the auditorium is a row of beautiful arched colonnades and spacious passages. I climbed to the top and could see the stage clearly. Not only that, but even a coin on the stage can be clearly heard, because The unique sound design allows the theater to deliver sound to every corner without the need for a sound reinforcement device.
