The Renaissance saw a revival of classical Roman theatre design, with architects like Serlio and Palladio pioneering the use of mathematical perspective to create illusions of depth and grandeur in stage scenery, influencing the development of permanent indoor theatres.

History of Western Theatre
The Illusion Illustrated
After the Roman era for centuries no permanent theatres were built.
In the sixteenth century the Italian architect: Sebastiano Serlio
designed a typical ancient Roman theatre,
which is never built...
Skenotheke – storeroom for the properties
Stage - playing space
Orchestra
Auditorium - gallery
Serlio (Renaissance) - Vitruvius (Roman)
Collonade
Serlio did build several temporary stages in palace halls.
Mathematical perspective, which was just discovered in those days,
was applied in the scenery,
in order to enlarge the theatrical illussion.
This is Serlio’s comic scene.

The perspective scenery necessitated
a relatively large space behind the stage.
The perspective was constructed from the seat of the monarch.

L’œil du prince ("the eye of the prince")
Andrea Palladio designed in 1579 the oldest, still existing
theatre in Europe after the Roman era:
Olimpico Theatre
This theatre is part of a block of buildings in Vincenza,
a city in the North of Italy.
It is a miniature Roman theatre brought indoors.
Behind the three gates in the scaenae frons and two gates aside,
a permanent.so-called, false perspective scenery is erected.
The rising and narrowing streets create an illusion of depth.
The gate in the back for instance, is only one-and-a-half meter tall
Of course, in these perspective-streets acting is impossible.
The seven streets are designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi,
and represent an ‘ideal city’.
A city which Palladio actually tried to realize in Vicenza.
To be able to admire the scenery behind the scaenae frons,
in particular the gate in the middle: the Porta Regia
was substantially enlarged.

Olimpico Theatre
Before the discovery of gas-light,
the auditorium an scenery was illuminated by torches,
and hundreds of oil-lamps.
Made of glass,
or of tin.
Consequently, many theatres were destroyed by fire.
In 1585 Teatro Olimpico was inaugurated
with a play of Sofocles: Oedipus Rex or King Oedipus.

Hoc opus, hic labor est:
This is the task and this is the struggle.
Roma Quanta Fuit Ipsa Ruina Docet
How great was Rome,
its ruins already tell it.
This is a quote from Serlio.
Five years after the inauguration of Teatro Olimpico,
so in 1590,
in Sabbioneta, a city near Vicenza,
a theatre with the same name was inaugurated.
This is the oldest remaining theatre – after the Romans –
that is housed in a separate building.
The theatre is designed by a pupil of Palladio,
the earlier mentioned Vincenzo Scamozzi.
This small theatre has no Roman scaenae frons,
but like the theatre in Vicenza,
it has a permanent, false-perspective scenery,
consisting of one perspective-street,
The present-day scenery was built in de twentieth century.
On the back-wall you can still see fragments of paintings,
designed by Scamozzi.

Sabbioneta is a typical court-theatre,
from the seat of the monarch
one has the best view upon the perspective scenery
The theatre in Vicenza, however,
offers more perspective vista’s.
But this theatre is founded by a literary society,
of which all members are regarded as equals.
