Answer
Theatre of the Italian Renaissance
1. When was the Italian renaissance?
1550 to 1700.
2. What is the importance of the Teatro Farnese?
It is generally considered the worlds first proscenium theatre. It was a Royal theatre built into the Great Hall of the Farnese Palace in 1618.
In what city was it located?
Parma.
3. How large was its stage?
The stage house was 105 feet wide by 133 feet deep, with a 40 foot wide proscenium opening. The Great Hall of the Palace was 285' long, 105' wide, and 87' high. A drawing of the Teatro Farnese (captioned: a " 'picture frame' theatre") appears on page 191 of Cohen's Theatre, 4th edition.
--- Painted Scenery ---
4. Who was Sebastiano Serlio (1475-1554)?
An Italian writer and court architect. He wrote one of the first stage craft manuals (Regole generali di architettura. 1545) which not only described the sets for three types of plays, but also gave instructions on how to lay out the theatre within a palace's great banqueting hall, create the perspective scene, light the set and seat the patrons.
5. In his book Architettura he described and illustrated three sets which he believed could be used for all plays. What did they look like?
Tragedies-- Halls of government: Court buildings, war memorials, civil monuments...
Comedies-- Where the people live: Inns, guild halls, churches, homes...
Pastorals-- In the woods.
6. Briefly describe how they were laid out.
All three used the same basic layout. There was a street center stage, with three "houses" on each side. At the back was a triumphal arch (in the tragic set), or an entrance to a church (in the comic set). A backdrop was hung upstage to hide the backwall.
7. What is the difference between a wing, a border, and a backdrop?
Wing-- A piece of scenery on the side of the stage used to mask the side walls of the theatre.
Border-- A piece of scenery hung above the stage used to hide the rafters, pulleys, and ropes used to change the scenery.
Backdrop-- A large piece of scenery at the back of the set used to mask the back wall.
8. Who were the first stagehand to work an Italian renaissance theatre?
Italian sailors. Much of theatrical terminology (Deck instead of floor; ladder instead of steps; line instead of rope; batten instead of pipe; shivs instead of pulley) comes from the sea.
