Ancient Theater
varosh, ohrid
The first assumptions that there was a theater in ancient Lychnid (today's Ohrid) were made by the Russian art historian Nikodim P. Kondakov at the very beginning of the 20th century, and already during 1935, when the first archaeological excavations were carried out, those assumptions were confirmed and the theater was partially discovered. Later, during the excavations carried out in the period 1959-1960, the exact location and size of the theater was determined.
The ancient theater in Ohrid was built at the end of the 3rd or the beginning of the 2nd century, during the late Hellenistic period, and was intended for the presentation of dramatic, musical and poetic performances for theater lovers.
It was built after the reputation of the famous Greek stone buildings of this type, with rich architectural decoration, especially the theater building which was decorated with a frieze of bas-relief plates on which scenes from the life of the gods were carved. On two such marble slabs, which are kept today in the Ohrid Museum, the god Dionysus is represented in the company of the Muses.
Immediately after the Roman conquests of these regions in 148 BC, the theater was adapted to the needs of the Roman way of life, probably in an extremely short time. The facility was converted into a theater space with an arena for gladiator fights and wild beast fights, where several of the lower rows of seats were demolished and several animal cages were built in their place, and the orchestra with the seats of honor was surrounded by a protective wall. Later, an epitheatron was built in the upper, outer zone, which increased the capacity of the theater to 5,000 spectators.
At the beginning of the 4th century of the new era and with the Christianization of the population, all the pagan buildings in the city were destroyed. Most likely, the theater also suffered in those destructions, and the material from its seats and other buildings was later used to build early Christian basilicas and many other sacred and profane buildings.
Systematic excavations began in 1977 and after a break of six years continued in 1984, and in 1999 the project for its complete discovery and commissioning began, and since 2001 on the stage of the open reconstructed space of the ancient theater again, after twenty centuries, dramatic performances, musical performances and various other manifestations are held.
