Description
Summary:Since the mid-eighteenth century theater architecture was much debated because it no longer met the requirements of staging and the public was demanding more and more amenities. The theoretical reflections were then directed towards the searching for architecture for the show, adapted to the habits and practices of French society. In this article we propose to analyze, from study of a series of papers published between the late eighteenth century and the middle of the nineteenth century, the various theoretical models that fueled the conceptualization of theater architecture, which were as diverse as were the profiles and trajectories of their authors. The theoretical proposals offered a wide variety of models that do not converge into a single solution and in the same way, it was possible to find among those built theaters, the coexistence of numerous typological variations.
