Capable of hosting audiences of up to 15,000, the amphitheatre features a large, covered, elevated stage with numerous rigging points and generous backstage support areas. The support spaces are housed in a rectangular volume offset from the stage, allowing uninterrupted views of the natural setting. A sliding panel tracks in behind the stage to serve as a backdrop or crossover for performances. The stage canopy is suspended with a system of steel masts and high-strength cables, leaving the front of the stage completely open to sightlines.
