Theater Apollon, Syros, Opera house in Ermoupolis, Greece
The Theater Apollon features a nine-meter-wide stage, velvet furnishings, and a ceiling decorated with paintings of poets and composers in classical style.
Italian architect Pietro Sampo designed this theater, which opened its doors on April 20, 1864, with a performance of Verdi's Rigoletto.
The theater hosts multiple annual events including the International Festival of the Aegean, Animasyros Film Festival, and Classical Music Festival of Cyclades.
The venue maintains a capacity of 350 seats across multiple levels and houses a museum exhibition on its third floor displaying programs and historical artifacts.
The building combines Italian theatrical architectural elements from four different opera houses with French-influenced vaulted ceiling support systems.
