Roman theaters hosting a variety of events, including concerts, festivals, workshops and guided tours.

Lugdunum's ancient theater backs onto the Fourvière hill, putting it close to the center of the Roman colony. The theater, also known as "le grand théâtre", is the oldest theater in Roman Gaul and one of the largest, with a capacity of 10,000 spectators. It hosted plays, mainly comedies, accompanied by dances. Both buildings were partially rebuilt in the 20th century, after having been transformed into quarries at the end of Antiquity. Today, the site of the Roman theaters hosts numerous events throughout the year, including concerts, festivals, workshops and guided tours.

La proximité du théâtre et de l'odéon, ainsi que la disposition des ruines, nous permettent de mieux comprendre la fusion des arts sceniques grecs, romains et gaulois, dans un site admirable.

Na ja, ganz hübsch, aber sehr überbaut von modernen Teilen. Perfekt für ein Outdoor-Event aber keine Sehenswürdigkeit
