The theater formed a unit with the nearby Cigognier Temple and could hold around 9,000 spectators at the time. Comedies, tragedies and also dances or songs for popular or religious festivals were performed - so anyone who fantasizes about gladiators and the like is not getting to the historical truth.
The theater was built in the 2nd century AD and was much larger than it appears today. The reason for this is the overexploitation of building materials, which continued until the 19th century.

Take the acoustic test. Speak in a normal voice from the stage: your listeners in the stands will hear you very well.
