SINCE the 4th century BC, audiences of up to 14,000 at the Epidaurus amphitheatre in Greece have been listening with crystal clarity to unamplified actors and musicians, and that includes audience members perched in the dizzyingly elevated back row.
With their awesome acoustics, amphitheatres are one of the truly great feats of human engineering, and the technology is two thousand years old.
