Every summer, operas and ballets are performed in the 15,000 capacity ancient Aspendos Theatre near Antalya, Turkey. Close to the Mediterranean Sea, the Roman amphitheatre resounds to classical tunes at performances in June and July, and in a change for 2012, September also attracting thousands of spectators.
