ANTALYA JAZZ FESTIVAL STARTS

Antalya’s esteemed Aspendos amphitheatre is next month to host to its first international jazz festival complete with an impressive line-up of stars. Acts confirmed include fado singer Monica Molina, Macy Gray and the Mehmet Ikiz Trio featuring China Moses.

Considered to be one of the most acoustically brilliant and best-preserved ancient theatres in the world, Aspendos is sure to make for an unforgettable venue. Indeed it is already home to the world-renowned Opera and Ballet Festival, now in its 18^th year.

Built during the reign of Marcus Aurelius in the 2nds century AD, the theatre was subsequently used by the Seljuk Turks as a Caravanserai. As a result, the 20,000-seat structure was continuously repaired and maintained and remains impressively intact.

Tickets for the Festival will be available via biletix.com.
