A cross-section drawing of a domed theater interior is a particular kind of picture: it shows the building's inside as if sliced open, so the rising tiers of seats, the curve of the dome and the stage opening all read at once. Drawings like this were used by architects and theater designers to plan sightlines, acoustics and how many people could see the stage from each row. Seen today, the view also reveals how audiences were packed and arranged in a period before modern lighting and sound systems, when the shape of the room itself did much of the work of projecting a performance.
