4. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Greece

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stone theatre structure located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens. It was built in 161 AD by the Athenian magnate Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, Aspasia Annia Regilla.

It has been the main venue of the Athens Festival, which runs from May through October each year, featuring a variety of acclaimed Greek as well as International performances.

5. The Seebühne, Austria

Seebühne or floating stage, with 7,000 seats, is the location for large-scale opera or musical performances on a stage over water on the shores of Lake Constance. The musical productions on this stage generally tend to come from the popular operatic list.

But they are often extravagantly original and innovative productions, frequently using the water from the lake as to extend the stage.
