Theâtre Antique d'Orange Reviews

Very impressive and well-preserved remains of the Roman Theatre.

The theater is almost complete and the look is amazing

Attending an opera in this historical setting imposing a real admiration for what was built a long time ago, enhances the show and gives it a unique magnificence. Even if you need a cushion or an adaptable seat for the most sensitive backs.

Nice show in a very nice place but the places are a little narrow

Beautiful place, magical setting at night thanks to lighting ... a moment of pure happiness ... I will return next year - for a concert date already fixed - with immense pleasure ...

A very well preserved building with highly recommended tour.

A really beautiful place and very well preserved. I sat for an hour watching the theater and its surroundings high up. For the moment it is under construction but that does not prevent to be subjugated by the height. The acoustics are pretty good, see during a show. Audioguide rather useful. A really clean place compared to other places I could visit. Be careful with the steps however.
A second visit is planned for me.

Incredibly preserved historical site! This is a must visit for every lover of history and archeology.
The shop beside the theater also contains many resources about the place. 2,000 years after its construction, this is still a fantastic location for plays! I recited a scene from Shakespeare just for fun, and the natural acoustics carried my voice to the top bleachers where a friend said he heard me perfectly. Simply amazing!

Very well preserved and good audio guide. Too bad it can not be fully appreciated by the restoration works.

Sublime ancient theater.
The immensity of the building is remarkable.
A must see !

A wonderful experience to attend an opera in an outdoor 1st century Roman amphitheatre. Events can start quite late (9:30pm) and end near 1am... Bring cushions otherwise you're sitting on stones and there are no back rests. I've been to multiple operas over the years and some productions are greater than others.

Beautiful to see absolutely and if possible with a concert

The scale of these Roman monuments just blow you away!

Very nice site to visit with audioguide to better understand
3D immersion is also very interesting to better understand what was this site before

Beautiful antique site. Always used, after 2000 years!

Very impressive and interesting. Even with primary level child. I really recommend.

Placed on sector J, wind blowing in the ears and unreadable text too far and characters too small. Too bad for such a beautiful site.

Very beautiful site, well preserved, interesting guided tour completed by access to the municipal museum opposite.

We did not visit the interior but the exterior is very impressive

Magic place. Must be beautiful when there are shows.

Magnificent historical monument.
A must see if you are passing nearby.
Too bad that during our visit the scene was in total renovation and we have more scaffolding rather than the stage ..

There is a very good artistic programming. And very inexpensive.

Exceptional apart the organization which is a goodbye

Fantastic place so pleased they are restoring it. I last visited it 30 years ago and it still holds it charm

Wonderful Roman amphitheater that still hosts extraordinary shows.
A must see, the museum in front is also interesting.

Ancient history brought to life with virtual means.

Very cool to visit if he visits Orange. Certainly the possibilities to visit the theater with an audio tour makes it very interesting. There is also the option to go for an additional charge for the VR tour.

9,50 Excessive entry
Better to go park at
Saint Eutrope Park
148 Alley of Dr. Rassat, 84100 Orange.
Cross the park 10/15 minutes and you have a beautiful view of the Theater.

Very beautiful, to see. A magnificent historical monument

Beautiful. There are mini niches that tell the whole story. Used for posters and footage.

The best way to see and appreciate this theatre is to book a performance here. I have been few years back for a day tour, staff not very helpful, little description in English, and entree tickets high for what you get. At that price, in wonderful Nimes, you get 17 Nimes Pass which includes incredible Romanite museum of antiquities, the fab colliseum style Nimes Arena, the Roman Magne (military) Tower with its panorama, and Maison Carree with a film! So Orange council is certainly milking one of its only 2 or 3 landmarks. The 4 star rating overall is because the arena gets transformed at night for a performance, during July-August annual festival, and it is amazing! Plus if you come when the doors open (most summer concerts start at 2130) you can wonder around and see the theatre for free as it were. I came to see Don Giovanni, a Mozart opera, it was mind blowing, as they project images onto the Theatre stage etc, truly spectacular, and having all those thousands of spectators there, one gets a true appreciation of the venue, how it was in Roman times with its capacity of 9000 seats. Ridiculously for such a festival, full of foreigners, subtitles only in French - I have to mention it because if your Italian is not great, then like Russians not far away from me you will be busy reading up on the opera synopsis to make head or tail of it. If you are not going to a concert during the Choregies Festival, I suggest you go to the top of fab public park called Colline Saint Eutrope (you can easily google walking directions, then when there, ask people which way to the monument or panorama). The view to the Roman Theatre and Orange itself from there is stupendous (see first photo).

Just beautiful, a pity that some parts of the hill are closed to the public but too dangerous so understandable

Impressive ancient theater, for the rest the visit is expensive and little commented, in short, one can hesitate ...

There are almost no words to describe it, if it can be to go live.

What a pleasure to contemplate this ancient theater. We did not take the audioguide as not practical with young children, but my son of 2 years and a half loved to visit this place

Visited on a lovely quiet day in February. Very beautiful site. Loved the virtual reality experience which let you see what the theatre looked like when it was first built.

The place is beautiful but very uncomfortable for a show.

Beautiful place we breathe milk of romans and the atmosphere is history

historic place to visit absolutely. and test the sound if you are 2. 1 on the stage and the other in the stands

This place is nice because you can put on a virtual reality glasses and you will see what it was like without anything broken or how they built it up. There are also performances for children, theathers, etc.

If you want to take a guided tour, it is best to book it the day before. Otherwise, they may already be full when you arrive. There is also the audio guide to accompany you but the sequences are a bit long to listen to.

One of the most well preserved and last of the few remaining Roman Amphitheatre in world.

Impressive! Anyone who knows Rome knows what to expect, just in small size. However, I think that the price of 15 EUR per person is too high and probably the renovation should pay with ... Otherwise OK.

Magic place in the city center of orange that will surprise you by the beauty of the places associated with the concert that will occur I recommend this place of exception but be careful in advance predict your places because very quickly sold

Beautiful place with a beautiful resonance charged with history

Impressive monument. Audioguige is included with admission price and is very informative.

Impressive well kept with very good care in the museum.

A very well restored and maintained site.
Not everything is accessible for SMEs, but we can already see a good part of it.

On the occasion of the Positive festival: we can't dream of a better backdrop!
