The city's premier performance hall presents an impressive program of entertainments, including classical concerts, opera, theatre and dance shows, featuring world-class international and Greek performers. There's often some sort of art exhibition on here, and between June and September concerts are also staged outdoors in the complex's back garden.
The Music Library of Greece (10am to 4.45pm Monday to Friday, to 7pm Wednesday), with some 10,000 sound recordings, is also within the complex.
