There is something in this -
in the theater ["... construction was started in the time of Anthony Pius and completed in the time of Marcus Aurelius (138-164)"] 41 "the auditorium: the lower 20 were occupied by noble townspeople, the upper rows [21] were crowded with commoners, they were separated from the rich by a wide passage"...
I remember the Soviet Classic:
"... three main objective and subjective signs describing the crisis situation developing in society on the eve of the revolution:
The upper classes cannot govern in the old way — the inability of the ruling class to maintain its dominance unchanged.
The lower classes do not want to live in the old way - a sharp aggravation above the usual needs and disasters of the oppressed classes and their desire to change their lives for the better.
A significant increase in the activity of the masses, attracted both by the whole situation of the crisis and by the "top" themselves to an independent historical performance."

We visited the Tosca Opera and were delighted! Unreal acoustics, amazing atmosphere, listening to opera under the starry sky, goosebumps! We took VIP seats with soft pillows, 3 hours flew by unnoticed. The architecture is beyond praise

A beautiful, fascinating place. We got to the ballet "Swan Lake". Acoustics and visibility from any location are good. To touch such a historical place in action is a great success.
