无处不在的希腊剧院

Greek theaters everywhere

小琼:上个月,我们聊了一部来自雅典的《蝴蝶夫人》,就在雅典古老的卫城脚下阿迪库斯奥德翁演出。奥德翁基本上算是个“音乐堂”,最初的设计是有木质屋顶的。但任何研究古代历史的学生都知道,用于戏剧表演和政治集会的希腊露天剧场。小薇:我们都知道半圆形希腊剧院美妙的声学效果,但现在,我真担心在大理石或石头上坐几个小时的舒适度。

Joan:Last month I reported about a production of Madama Butterfly from Athens,right at the foot of the Acropolis at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.Odeons are basically“music halls”originally enclosed with a wooden roof.But any student of ancient history also knows about the open-air Greek theaters for spoken drama and political gatherings.
