The orchestra was in a pit. In the picture above you can see a curved black area behind the red walk way. That is the pit. They were playing modern instruments.
The subtitles (which I could not read) were projected on a large black screen at either side of the stage.
I tried to listen to Greek Language tapes before I went and thought that I might be able to talk more, but even though I can understand a few more words (tora=now for example) and I hear people saying those words I don't understand most of what is said and I can't say anything except for hello, thank you, and good morning.

You said the ordchestra was playing. Were they playing modern instruments? Where did they play - was there an orchestra pit or somewhere on stage or backstage?
I believe you said previously (I will have to go back and check) that the opera was in Italian with Greek subtitles. How did they do that? Were the words in the written program?
How much Greek have you learned this time?
