声学科学的杰作(Masterpiece of acoustic science)
埃皮道鲁斯古剧院隐藏在距离雅典约100英里的埃皮道罗斯山上。这是完美的古典比例在表演艺术中的体现。这是一座保存完好的古希腊剧院,巨大的露天场地可容纳14000多名观众。希腊礼堂的三个主要特点是管弦乐队,一个用作主舞台的圆形空间,一个作为背景的skene或舞台建筑,最后是cavea或礼堂,一排呈半圆形的上升座椅。这是一项在山坡上建造的工程壮举,其精确度如此之高,以至于剧院既有完美的声学效果,又有最佳的结构,以便更好地观赏。剧院是献给古希腊医学神阿斯克勒庇乌斯的。自1954年以来,剧院迎来了几位希腊和国际著名演员的戏剧和音乐表演。

Hidden in the hills of Epidaurus about 100 miles from Athens, lies the ancient theater of Epidaurus. It’s the embodiment of perfect classical proportions applied to the performing arts. A well-preserved Greek theatre from ancient times, the massive open-air venue can host more than fourteen thousand spectators. The three main features of the Greek auditoria are the orchestra, a circular space used as the main stage, the skene or stage building used as a backdrop, and lastly the cavea, or the auditorium, an ascending row of seats in a semi-circular shape. It is a feat of engineering built into the hillside with such precision that the theater has both perfect acoustics and an optimal structure for better viewing. The theater was dedicated to the ancient Greek God of medicine, Asclepius. Since 1954, the theater has welcomed drama and music performances from several famous Greek and international actors.
