Places to see in ( Lyon - France ) Theatres Romains de Fourviere

The Ancient Theatre of Fourvière is a Roman theatre in Lyon, France. It was built on the hill of Fourvière, which is located in the center of the Roman city. The theatre was built in two steps: around 15 BC, a theatre with a 90 m diameter was built next to the hill. At the beginning of the 2nd century, the final construction added a last place for the audience. The diameter is 108 m, and there were seats for 10,000 people.

Today the theatre is primarily a tourist site, but it is still used as a cultural venue. Each year, the Nuits de Fourvière festival takes place in the theatre. The site was classified Historical Monuments in 1905. The Grand Theater, the oldest in France, built by Auguste in 15 BC, includes the cavea (large conch with 25 steps down to the Orchestra) climb on a gallery and the semi-circular orchestra, intended for the movements of the choir, the dancers and actors. Its diameter: 27 m. The scene is decorated with a few columns and a woman statue. The theater was reserved for tragedy and comedy. Its capacity was 4,700 spectators. It was enlarged under Hadrian to 10 700 places in 120.

The Odeon, a smaller theater (3,000 seats), was intended for political or philosophical speakers, music, poets and an intellectual elite. It was built under Antoninus, successor of Hadrian in the middle of the 2nd century. The Odeon is bounded on the west by a wall 6m thick, supporting the roof that housed the cavea, a 73m diameter, consisting of bleachers leading to the orchestra paved with geometric designs : rhombuses, squares, rectangles, underlined circles. The white, pink or beige marbles, the blue or gray granites, the green or red porphyries came from Italy, Greece or Egypt. Every summer, the multidisciplinary Festival Les Nuits de Fourvière is organized in ancient theaters.
