A revolving auditorium is a mechanically controlled seating area within a theatre which can be rotated in order to manipulate the change of scenery and stage sets during the performance. Revolving auditoriums are favoured by open-air theatres in particular, because they are ideally suited for the use of natural scenery as an integral part of the set.
Other revolving auditorium was built in Närpes in 1966,[2] a smaller revolving auditorium from 1983 is also found in Týn nad Vltavou[3] and a smaller indoor revolving auditorium in the Boulevard theatre was opened in London in 2019.[4]
At the time of its construction in 1992, the Irish theatre Celtworld contained the largest revolving auditorium in Europe,[5] it was however closed in 1995.
