Athens theatre season launches with diverse productions

The new theatrical season in Athens is launching with a diverse program ranging from classical masterpieces and literary adaptations to contemporary drama. The upcoming schedule features various artistic languages and directorial approaches exploring themes such as identity, social injustice, and human passion.

The National Theatre of Greece has announced several key productions for the year. Notable upcoming performances include Alexander Papadiamantis’s ‘Fonissa’, a co-production with the National Lyric Stage, scheduled for late October 2026 at the Tsiller Building. Additionally, a production of Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ is set to debut at the Nikos Kourkoulos New Stage in December 2026, alongside a Shakespearean comedy, ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, at the Rex Theatre.
