Dedicated to the English playwright and poet William Shakespeare. It is located in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon – Shakespeare’s birthplace – in the English Midlands.
Wow the size of the Munich National Theatre stage is impressive although I don’t think I would have the stamina for length of Wagner:) Beautiful setting for the Greek Theatre, love outdoor theatre.
I just love Greek/Roman theatres, and visiting them, even the smallest ones, it is a pleasure. But all the theatres on your postcards look really, really interesting. Great hunting!
That amphitheatre is amazing. I would love to see an opera staged in such an outdoor setting.
