Christmas Theater - Leof. Veikou 137

Visited for the Nutcracker performance. Sat in the section at the back which was, frankly, too far away to enjoy the artistry of the dancers. Also, performance began over a half hour after scheduled time. All in all a nice facility.

Disastrous acoustics, parking beyond shambolic. A third world experience. Went to a concert there, first time visit to the theatre. The acoustics inside what is essentially a giant tin shed with corrugated metal roof, were just dreadful. Getting to the place was also absurd. There was a line backed up on the main avenue leading to the theatre, it took about an hour to get to a parking space. By 'space', I mean literally any available square footage which didn't have a car, tree, or anything else to prevent you from dumping your car. Cars were all over the place facing all directions. Hapless parking attendants were trying their best in an impossible situation. Thankfully the concert was terrible and we left early. I imagine the miserable people caught up in the exodus must have taken forever to get out in a single file. And the theatre itself cannot have been more than 50% full. The people behind this theatre really need to get their act together. Paying 100 euros a ticket to listen to opera in a booming, echoing, space is not acceptable, the parking is a complete shambles too.

Cancelled today's concert in less than 24h announcement with the excuse of Covid19. Should be more honest as long as there was roughly 1/3 of bookings made the last night i checked it travelling in town for this reason. Better respect to people should be much appreciated...

We came for an intimate concert which was lovely! Each table had a sanitizer and a candle, a nice touch! The sound and lighting were good. Thanks for the sweet memories! On the list of things to improve, we would suggest adding signage to those arriving by public transportation (we were totally lost and found on our way two other couples who were just as lost on the long, sign-less road to the open venue) and a higher quality selection of snacks and foods (what is the idea of having everything pre-cooked and sealed if you can get fresh food in bars and restaurants just a couple of minutes away from the venue?).

A concert like we had never seen before... ------------------------------------------------------------------- We were there on January 2nd for the Vienna Mozart Orchestra. The orchestra played really well and bravely. I would give that full marks. I found the following terrible. A multi-purpose hall is generally not the worthy setting for classical music concerts. But it didn't have to be that bad. The constantly running, very loud multimedia advertising on the large screens has ruined every emerging classic atmosphere. The advertisement ran almost until the first note started and immediately began to fade away with the last. But the crowning glory was the audience: I wavered between amusement and dismay. As soon as the music quietened down or even had a short break, applause broke out immediately. Folks, this is a classical concert! Classical music also has short breaks, but the piece of music is far from over. The composer thought of something with breaks or soft music. This does not need to be filled with other tones. But the highlight of this cacophony was clapping along to the beat of the music. The poor conductor tried in vain to dissuade the audience. He gave up. I was still waiting for the polonaise. I think we and the orchestra will remember this concert for a long time. Notes to the organizer: Perhaps it would be possible to print instructions for classical concerts on the ticket...

Very pleasant experience overall. The theatre venue itself is very large, well ventilated and maintained. The admin staff was polite and helpful. Easy to access via car with private parking space. The theatre facilities are also modern and clean. The food market located on the main square on front of the theatre entrance is pleasant and offers a large common sitting area.

Large indoor theater. Not fancy. Not enough bathrooms (very long lines). Many alcohol options and not too expensive (€6 for hot wine, including a beautiful ceramic mug with “Christmas Theater” written on it). Many fast food options, like hot dogs and tacos outside. Inside there is nachos and popcorn and potato sticks (all under €6). Also wine and champagne and beer! Hard to get a taxi after the show. You should schedule a taxi. ♿️ Accessibility: The stairs are VERY steep! They have two large screens to view the stage. Lighting is good. Not too loud.

The overall experience was good. COVID protection safety meters were applied everywhere. My only question is if the acoustic of this theatre helps you to enjoy the sound of a symphonic orchestra. Most probably no
