It's presumably either the original or designed from the theatre in Epidaurus in Greece.

It's an open air theatre with incredible acoustics (even the back row can hear the actors without difficulty or undue strain on actors' voices). It's the ancient Greek equivalent of the Roman Colosseum in Rome - their crowning achievement in sites meant for public presentations (a lot less violent a place, too).
