No spectacular, but nice church. However, spectacularly incompetent church musicians and sound technicians. The church musician often plays very uncertainly and incorrectly at both funerals and weddings. Would rather be without music at my funeral than let him play. Then we have the sound engineer who is both extremely unpleasant and does not seem to have the faintest idea of ​​how neither a microphone nor sound and acoustics work. He works actively to ensure that the church (which actually has fine acoustics) is filled with roundabouts and he does not compensate by being pleasant or pleasant. He has both insulted and sworn at me at funerals and is usually extremely careless, unpleasant and unpleasant. It is embarrassing that the church, which is financed by the church tax, employs such staff when there are many competent people waiting for jobs.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
