Introduction
▪ Paolo Soleri (21 June 1919 – 9 April 2013) was an Italian architect,
Visible steps on both sides, just behind the main stage, lead
up through irregular openings in the cavelike shell — and
the two large, grooved columns behind stage center have
doorways facing away from the audience that permitted
actors to ascend unseen to the upper stage.
The long hill behind the theater was created using the earth
that was excavated to create the bowl that holds the
amphitheater and a spectator arc of 2,000 seats.
“Acknowledges the strength and beauty of
earth as a building material,”
“Embedding the bowl in the earth and opening the audience’s view to the mountains
beyond establish a connection between locale and the world beyond.”
