The story

Story · Ancient Theatre

  • en

You're standing at the Ancient Theatre of Ohrid, a slice of antiquity tucked between the houses of the old town. Take a look around first. The theatre sits snugly between two hills. That's no accident. Those hills block the wind, so it can't spoil the acoustics during a performance. The builders knew exactly what they were doing.
