Hellenic Art Theatre Reviews

 Although it is an old theatre it has the ambience of a suburban community theatre.

 The paintings anchored the production design of the show. The acting was great by the three key performers. The sound design was scratchy and poor. Congratulations for putting on the show.

 Very good experience for a first time visit. Anywhere you sit is great for viewing… look forward to coming back.

 Easy to purchase tickets online however companion card not accepted. Prefer unallocated seating option & no popcorn available.

 The Hellenic Art Theatre has a long history, and has made a great contribution to Greek theatre in Australia. This latest show, Karagiozis Live, proves it is still as good as it ever has been.

 It was my first visit to the Hellenic Art Theatre. Loved the vibe and relaxed arty atmosphere.

 Just enjoy the shows

 This venue leaves a lot to be desired! This is NO reflection upon the theatrical organization but rather a comment on the apparent indifference by the owners/managers of this venue. For Greek theatre to survive in Sydney we need to attract the new generations and this needs to be accompanied by safe and clean surroundings as well as high artistic displays.

 I really enjoyed the show. The Greek community theatre always puts on fantastic performances even though they are only amateurs.

 It was a great experience and very funny.

 Such a great show. Very funny and if you don’t understand Greek it has subtitles in English. The show was entertaining and enjoyable.

 A powerful and authentic presentation of Kazantazakis' passionate work.

 It was great and the costumes were awesome

 The acting outstanding. The venue was perfect with old style comfortable leather seats. The play was superb and covered a moment in history that was impactful to the explores. It also addressed themes of the coming destruction of Indigenous population with sensitivity.

 Long event with intermissions & poor music sound quality.

 Karagiozis Live at the Opera House: The first viewing I saw the story: the second time I saw the complexity of the characters unfold as played expertly by the cast. It was a pleasure to talk to the cast and learn more about the songs and characters, and I am in awe of the production and writing team to successfully portray a complex figure like Karagiozis. I recommend all theatre lovers to "put your items on your hump" and see the shows produced at Hellenic Art Theatre.

 I thought it was just hilarious. Had a really good time.

 I thoroughly enjoyed this live production. Laughed so much I had tears running down my face.

 Karagiozis is an entertaining presentation that depends on the tradition of Karagiozis as a theatrical shadowy entertainment for youngish audiences over the past century that is then intermingled with the Greek migrants's Australian experiences. The poorly attended audience this evening did not do justice to the immense talent on the stage I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience for young and old to refresh old memories and create new experiences

 As a life long lover and informal researcher of classical Theatre techniques, I was taken on a journey of a lifetime to see "Karagiozis at the Opera House" produced by Hellenic Art Theatre and the genius of Stavros Economides. The minimal stage decor highlighted the electrifying performance of the cast who portrayed all the highs and lows of the human condition in bare face and masked character, within a production I will be sure to see twice.

 Lots of fun!!!

 A classic funny play and great energy from the actors and play itself. Bravo

 the themes and actors are excellent I feel the low attendance is likely multi faceted in my subjective and non academic view the themes - norms and values about monies- inheritances male and female stereotypes - suspected infidelity prevail in most societies suicide-/ high education costs- refugees- detention - Gaza LGBQTI trans how much value does one place in attending a theatre in person ? how much does one ( of any age) prioritize themes

 The theatre is easily accessible, with plenty of parking close to the venue. The cast was exceptional as always, the play had it's moments, I found it a little
