performance, or a theatre space that is transformed into a complete environment

 The design of the auditorium emphasizes frontal sightlines and a clear view of the
stage floor. Sometimes the seating is on telescopic risers that can be retracted to
allow the whole space to be used for rehearsal or instruction.
 Multipurpose theatre:
 The contemporary multipurpose theatre is commonly found in medium to large
US cities and occasionally elsewhere around the world. These proscenium theatres
are designed to accommodate a range of activity—symphonic music, opera,
musical theatre, ballet, and touring productions.

21.  Multiuse commercial theatre - a “Broadway theatre” form:
 This is a proscenium theatre designed primarily for amplified sound. The room
acoustics are usually “dry” with little adjustment available, making these rooms
unsuitable for un-amplified acoustic music.
