Henrik Ibsen's classic play "Rosmersholm" (translated in Greek as "The White Horses") will be performed in both Heraklion and Chania in June 2026. The production is staged by the Municipal Regional Theatre of Crete (DHPETHEK) under the direction of its artistic director, Nikorestis Chaniotakis. DHPETHEK is the main public theatre organisation serving the island, with venues in Crete's two largest cities. The play is one of Ibsen's most celebrated works, exploring themes of idealism, guilt, and personal freedom. Tourists interested in attending should check the DHPETHEK website or local event listings for exact performance dates, venue addresses, and ticket availability. Performances are in Greek, but the visual and dramatic nature of the production makes it accessible to international audiences. Both Heraklion and Chania are easily reachable by car, bus, or ferry.
