Research Homework Task: Arena/Amphitheatre


An amphitheatre (or amphitheater) is an open-air venue used for entertainment and performances.

Ancient Roman amphitheaters were:
  • major public venues, circular or oval in shape, and
  • used for events such as gladiator combats, chariot races, venationes (animal slayings) and executions.

A contemporary amphitheatre is:
  • a curved, acoustically vibrant performance space, particularly one located outdoors.

A natural amphitheatre is:
  • a performance space located in a spot where a steep mountain or a particular rock formation naturally amplifies or echoes sound, making it ideal for musical and theatrical performances.

An arena is an enclosed area, often circular or oval-shaped, designed to showcase theater, musical performances, or sporting events.
