Caesare--Roman Theater

Caesare--Roman Theater

The Roman theater in the south of Caesarea, decorated for tonight’s performance of Verdi’s opera, “Aida”. 
Summer is a busy season with dance and music shows in the oldest extant Roman theater in the east. The theater, built by Herod, which is one of the only sites exposed intact in the city, had been repaired and rebuilt over the generations. The stage front is 7 meters wide. It is about 100 meters in diameter and can seat an audience of 3,000, all facing the sea. An exciting experience is in store for them, especially at sunset, when sea breezes carry the notes with them like superb natural amplifiers.
