Aeschylus’ emblematic trilogy, The Oresteia, directed by Theodoros Terzopoulos, marked the first collaboration between the internationally acclaimed Greek director and teacher and the NTG, and was a milestone in the recent history of theatre in Greece. Following a triumphant run at various venues, the performance returns to the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus on 22 & 23 August to complete this year's festival season at Epidaurus.

Terzopoulos’s Oresteia is a work of intellectual and philosophical depth, which, with electrifying energy, succeeds in pushing the boundaries of art and, ultimately, in telling the story of humanity itself. Both an unquestionably political act and a transcendent experience functioning on multiple levels, it met with a rapturous reception both from the thousands of spectators who saw it and from the Greek and international media.

After its premiere in Epidaurus in 2024, Agamemnon toured Greece and Cyprus, and was also performed in Vicenza, Italy, where it opened the 77th Classical Shows Season at the historic Teatro Olimpico. Now this extraordinary production returns to the place where its exhilarating journey began, offering us the opportunity to witness it once again.
