"The production by INDA, Italy’s National Institute for Classical Drama, featuring an all-female cast—outside of the male chorus—feels smart and exciting. The sets and costumes are stunning, especially against the backdrop of the sun setting behind the mostly intact ancient theater cut from the living rock of the mountainside. We follow the action, while listening to a sensitive and unobtrusive English translation through headsets. I can see that the kids are enthralled. So are Nico and I."

A really nice set up, ruins in a park like setting. The only placards are for the modern day art work throughout the park. Enjoy the views of the harbor from the top of the amphitheater.

The signs along the path explain only the modern art installed on the grounds so if you want guidance you’ll need to hire a guide or find other sources

Very disappointing. A 2500 year old theatre covered in 21st century wood. Luckily I've been before and was able in 2012 to experience sitting on the stone benches whilst trying to imagine the atmosphere in antiquity. As it's likely the main attraction they should tell you this before you buy the EUR16 ticket. It's all roped off, the photos show how close you can get, even to this mess. There's a guard who whistles at you if you do something she doesn't like.

Very disappointing experience. The entrance is €16.5 per person yet the site is so poorly managed. The signs are unclear, some of the areas are even closed, and there are only descriptions for the modern sculptures (which we have no interest in at all) but not the remains. We wanted to get the audio guides but there weren’t any available at that point. It’s shame that such an important site is being managed this way.

Well preserved architectural heritage, a must see in Sicily!

It's so interesting to get to visit a place that was built in century V B.C.! Really impressive. It's in such a good state that they are currently (April 2024) adding modern bleachers on top of the original to hold concerts soon!

The theatre was a great view into past time when the Greek lived on this same ground that we walk in today. Walking in the sandals of history!

Largely refurbished and used publicly for concerts etc. Quite a spectacular view and concerts and performances must be terrific.
