Lovely theater - well worth it to catch a show here. Instead of an orchestra seat you should go for the mezzanine or upper story cubicles (helps with COVID too as nobody is wearing masks). Note: (almost) no AC during shows. Dress light! One of the most beautiful theatres I’ve saw. The 2€ entry fee is defo worth paying. The theatre resembles the famous Scalia from Milan. It’s really nice decorated and preserved. The staff working there is friendly and helpful. The Apollon Theatre is a cultural icon in Ermoupoli, it was built in 1862–1864 to the designs of the Italian architect Pietro Sampò and opened on 20 April 1864. It resembles a miniature of La Scala opera house located in Milan, Italy We visited this iconic place paying an entrance fee of 2€, it is a two history building with a low marble plinth and plastered facades, the inner floors are divided by a strip of limestone with the central part of the main face built all with marble, you can access the main hall and some of the little private balconies (only on days without performance). The place decoration is amazing and is really well preserved in spite of being damaged during World War II. If you have the chance of spect a performance here, do not waste the opportunity, buy some tickets with the friendly staff and enjoy the plot, you will feel like travelling back in time. The show was sold out but we were told we can get last minute tickets at the door. We were there 30 mins before the show, told to wait out which we did. People were queuing up and tickets were being checked but suddenly stopped because there was a mass of ticketless people and behind them the people with tickets lining up - what a mess. No crowd control whatsoever. Everyone was just standing still and waiting for either their tickets to be checked or to be allowed to go in. So we never made it in because the chaos was already the show. I give the star for the love of arts, the artists performing and the building but the staff needs a crowd control class. One of the best places to see on Syros island. Entrance of 2€ applies. Helpful employees. The theater itself is well maintained and there is a small museum at the top floor. It is absolutely astonishing what the Apollon Theater, the oldest Opera House in Greece ( since 1864) offers in performance, beauty , acoustics and history. The recent Madame Butterfly was of international quality and the Festival of the Aegean is rightfully called the Salzburg of the Aegean. For visitors helpful staff knows all about programming, history and stories surrounding this mythic place. The theater has been constructed Based on the plans of the Scala in Milan and is also called the Little Scala. Performances all year but if you can make it, take a week off for the International Festival of the Aegean in July! Such a priceless experience watching the performance of The Barber of Seville in Italian from a box on the side of the stage. The venue is of astonishing beauty, it seats maybe around 150 people which makes every performance very intimate. An interesting place, worth a visit. Very well maintained. There is a tiny museum. It becomes more interesting if you read the history of the theater before going. Check online, if you are lucky, there will be an ongoing opera or a theatre play.
