Ancient performances at Aspendos were funded by civic institutions, and admission was charged for attending plays and competitions. Performances continue today at Aspendos, which has a capacity of 15,000 people, in the form of concerts, operas and ballets.

The performance, apart from being the show's premier in the resort city, will also mark the opening of the Aspendos Arena.
