Shakespeare’s Othello at the Ancient Kourion Amphitheater

Experience a Timeless Tragedy Under the Stars

Join us for an enchanting evening at the historic Kourion Amphitheater, where the Performing Arts for Cyprus Charities brings William Shakespeare’s powerful masterpiece, Othello, to life. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Mediterranean, this production explores the depths of human emotion—from profound love to the destructive forces of jealousy and betrayal.

What to Expect

Whether you are a lifelong fan of the Bard or experiencing his work for the first time, this performance promises a captivating journey through one of literature's most intense stories. The play follows the tragic downfall of Othello, a noble Venetian general, as he is ensnared by the manipulative schemes of Iago.

This year’s production is particularly special, as all proceeds are dedicated to supporting the Cyprus Alzheimer’s Association and the Margarita Liasidou Foundation.
