In 1930 in Birmingham, Oscar Deutsch, a young businessman opened the first venue in England that would multiply and entertain the nation for decades to come. His wife, Lilly Deutsch designed the interior, in an art deco style and, they borrowed the name from similar and very popular French venues. A name that in Ancient Greece meant, a building available for music performances, poetry recitals and rehearsals of plays for the big festivals in the open theatres. Ωδή (ode) in Ancient Greek meant song and that very special venue that gave its name to… cinemas all over the country was called ΩΔΕΙΟΝ/ODEON
