Dear Perrine,

The Aspendos Opera and Ballet Festival is held every year between mid-September and early October.
This year, the final performance of the festival — La Traviata — took place on October 2nd.

At the moment, there are regular Anadolu Ateşi (Fire of Anatolia) dance shows at the Aspendos Ancient Theatre every Tuesday and Friday.

Kind regards,

Ticket for Aspendos Opera and Ballet Festival

The Chris Botti concert event at Aspendos Nov 07 was really worth it. It was not difficult to purchase tickets through Vigo Tours. Everything was explained to us honestly and fairly with the transfer, the organizers did not provide it. They were in touch with us through WA to the end. We ordered a taxi from Alanya on the occasion. And it's good that we arrived there an hour before the start. Thus, we got good places. Really a lot of impressions
