What's the difference between cyclorama and theatre?

Cyclorama


Definition:

  • (n.) A pictorial view which is extended circularly, so that the spectator is surrounded by the objects represented as by things in nature. The realistic effect is increased by putting, in the space between the spectator and the picture, things adapted to the scene represented, and in some places only parts of these objects, the completion of them being carried out pictorially.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) She and Gaskill took their style to Stratford for Richard III (with Christopher Plummer, 1961), set on a wooden floor and backed by a sinister metal grille, and staged the British premiere of Brecht’s Baal (1963), framing Peter O’Toole in a cyclorama enclosing beautifully stylised bare trees and gappy buildings.
