Odeon Theater, Amman Overview
The Odeon Theater in Amman is an amphitheatre and one of the city’s 3 Roman structures situated to the east of the Hashemite Plaza. It is a small semi-circular theatre with a seating capacity of about 500 built around the 2nd century CE. It is an excellent spot for photography, especially at twilight.
Odeon translates to “singing place”, and the Odeon Theatre was used for musical shows, poetry readings, lectures, debates, singing exercises and more. It is now mainly used for concerts such as the annual Al-Balad Music Festival featuring bands from Jordan and outside the country. It is believed that a wooden roof once covered the theatre. Close to it, on the southern side of the Plaza, is the bigger Roman Theater with a capacity of about 6,000 seats that is also known to host the Music Festival along with the Odeon Theater.
