From the ancient Greek theatres to the Pleiades

Many theatres in ancient Greece, such as Taormina in Sicily, were situated on mountainsides, often high up, to take advantage of a natural slope for the seating.

Undoubtedly the performers and spectators alike would have drawn inspiration from the surrounding nature and the Cosmos.

Situated on the Swiss Riviera, Les Pléiades is the perfect site for a mountaintop summer opera festival: a pristine setting, not too high or exposed, with a reliable, environmentally friendly access by a short train journey from Vevey or Blonay.
