An amphitheater is an outdoor venue designed for performances such as concerts, plays, and other forms of entertainment. The seating area is typically arranged in tiers or levels around a central stage or arena, and there is often a roof or canopy to protect performers and the audience from sun or rain. Amphitheaters date back to ancient Rome and Greece, where they were used for gladiator battles, plays, and other public events. Today, modern amphitheaters are found in parks, concert venues, and other outdoor locations around the world.
