"The theater was preserved in very good condition and, through the restoration work carried out by P. Kavvadias (1907), A. Orlandos (1954-1963) and the Committee for the Conservation of the Monuments of Epidaurus (1988 onwards), it has almost fully regained its original form, apart from the stage building. The monument attracts large numbers of Greek and foreign visitors and is used to stage ancient Greek plays. The first performance held at the theater of Epidaurus in modern times was Sophocles' Electra in 1938, directed by D. Rondiris. The first performances of ancient Greek drama as part of the Epidaurus Festival began in 1954 and were established as an official institution the following year. The theater has also been used on occasion for major musical events." — V. Lambrinoudakis, Diazoma |
