The best preserved theatre in the West of the Roman Empire

Located in the valley of the Rhone, the Theatre at Orange is, without doubt, one of the finest remains of the Roman Empire and, as such, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is, in fact, the best preserved theatre in the whole of Europe.

The Theatre at Orange is extraordinary in that it has retained its magnificent stage wall - surprisingly well preserved and unique in the Western world. Because of the wall it still has wonderful acoustics. It was a great centre for shows in Roman times and still draws huge audiences to musical events today.

The commentary on your headphones will help you to picture the 10,000 spectators crowded onto the tiered seats to watch the actors, dancers and jugglers performing on the stage in front of the magnificently decorated wall - a unique and fascinating place that will interest the whole family!
