The stage 'backwall' is amazing and well worth the visit. There is a very useful audio guide, although you don't need to move to each numbered point that it suggests when listening to it. You can easily listen to 2/3 of them in one go, then move on. You could rush round in an hour, but allow at least 2... More

This antique theatre is one of the best preserved in Europe. The visit includes an audio guide to help you understand a bit of its history and why it is considered as an World Heritage by UNESCO. If you are visiting at night, you might get a chance to go for one of the stage performance. Something we did not... More

The theatre at Orange is well worth the visit to appreciate the scale of the Roman buildings. Even today the acoustics are very good its easy to heart a conversation on the stage when in the top rows. The audio guide (available in English) was the highlight with detailed information on the theatre but more interesting in its connection with... More

You have free run over a well-restored Roman theatre and temple, with an excellent audio guide (we listened in English and in French), at a reasonable price (and they take credit cards). Probably not a place to go when it's raining!

The size, history and preservation of the theatre is very impressive, especially the theatre wall. Totally lives up to its UNESCO World Heritage status. The place is not too big, so makes for a short and very sweet visit, especially if one is in the region. The short film screening is not to be missed - very informative yet light-hearted.... More

The Roman Theatre Antique is amazing in terms of its size and completeness. The stage is 76 metres high which you truly appreciate when you climb to the top of the auditorium. There is little left of the ornate features of the stage but enough has been restored to give you an idea of what it used to be like.... More

We were told that Provence has 300 sunny days per year. May 18th was not one of them with 50 mm falling in 24h. This Roman theatre was so impressive that the rain did not completely deter us. We obtained the self audio guide and tightened the hoods on our wind breakers. The scale of this theatre and it's backdrop... More

Terrific introductory vide. I highly recommend taking the time to watch. Informative but lengthy audio guide - I would suggest picking and choosing your audio numbers or you will be there for hours. The theatre is amazing, wonderfully preserved, and has a couple of unique projection rooms in the interior hallways of the stalls. Terrific gift shop as well.

Really worth a visit. When you look up it's a really grand building. And on top of the theatre, you get an amazing view over the city. The audio guide is very interesting but sometimes it's a bit to elaborate for my liking. I didn't find the movie-animation really fascinating. And the museum across the street is a bit dull.... More
