The theater is absolutely gigantic and a must-see! It is just incredible how huge the theater is and how old. I will definitively come here again for one of the concerts as experiencing one in such a setting must be one of the best things ever. Not sure about people claiming the entrance fee. 13 Euros p.p. were absolutely okay and worth it unless you have a sight like this in your backyard and are used to such a sight. The audio guide was quite informative and interesting.

We took family ticket which cost us 38€ and all we saw was one pretty wall and stairs of the arena were from beton. I really don’t know why is this arena ruined like that. It is UNESCO but as you can see on the photo it is not repaired well and definitely not worth your money…

Best preserved Roman theater. Really interesting site. The have a 3d viewing add 9n that let's you view the theater as it was just as you come in.

An amazing Roman Colosseum where we saw Kyle Eastwood play the music from his fathers movie with an orchestra.

Well preserved Roman theatre. One of the best we have in Europe. I'm glad to see that the new restoration make it available to host plays once again

This was one of the most impressive sights I've ever seen. Take some time to sit in the seats and just take in the unique experience

I can recommend the Escape Game. It is highly engaging and a great way to add more depth to a visit to the Roman theater. The free audio guide can be combined with the Escape Game, but I would not suggest that. The audio fragments are relatively long and most of your attention will go to solving the puzzles of the game anyways.

From the direction you approach the Théâtre would never know how grand and amazing the inside is. Great tour which walks you around.

Arrived at 5pm Sunday, and guess what? Parking is free and the ticket to both the theatre and museum was free! It was a good time! We didn’t have time to see more but it was enough for us.

Fascinating place. Bigger than you would expect and much more complicated. Actually an arts center as they did much more than just put on plays. They self guided tour is excellent. You leave feeling like you truly understand what a small segment of Roman life was like. Wish we had more time to look around. Museum is an added bonus showing what they used as everyday objects as well as props and build design elements.

What an awesome sight! Having studied Greek and Roman Theatre at college decades ago, I never expected to see a Roman Theatre in such a fantastic state of preservation - that stage building is just incredible. The audio guide was very good and the additional displays were very informative about Roman life generally. A memorable visit.

Nothing to see here. Dont waste your 12 eur. The outside is more impressive. Only cables and concrete built over the ancient stairs.

Really interesting Roman Theater We visited after seeing old footage of the Cure playing here Easy to find, parking around the corner Only 13 euros in

We attended a concert in the theatre - it was a spectacular venue for a show. Getting into and out of the place was a nightmare. Roads were closed off without deviation markers and there was no one doing car traffic control beforehand. The theatre has few entrances/exits, leading to crazy-long lines into and out of the place. Hot dogs, beer and other snacks were available inside and the prices were fair.

Amazing to see an amphitheater almost as intact as it's prime. Have never seen a theatre with it's main stage wall intact, was quite a site to see. It's massive!

Very well preserved Roman theatre that is still in use, apparently with excellent acoustics. The stunning building behind the stage is one of the most remarkable of its kind for its grandeur and good condition. On the other hand, the tiers have been totally replaced by a modern structure.

A piece of Roman history and architecture that withstood the test of time. Wonder why they don’t build nowadays like they used to? 🤔 From the outside, it looks impressive. Every corner you look from, there’s a different facade which tells a story. Entrance fee is €11.50/adult including the headset (compulsory) for the theatre and the museum across the road. The theatre steps have been restored, so, not much of it is original. The backdrop where the stage is, is a work of art. Imagine how grand it will all be if it was still intact. However, just the remains tells you of the immense size of the building. The Greeks and the Romans must be excellent sound technicians. So much so, the theatre is still used for concerts and performances because of its acoustics. We climbed up to the very top, sat down to take it all in while looking down to the stage and backdrop. If you do get a chance, visit Orange as well when you are visiting Avignon. You will not regret it. Suggestion - the management of the theatre should give a choice to visitors to either opt for the headset or not. Other places seem to be doing that.

Wonderful visit. Walking round the well preserved, quiet amphitheatre was great. The audio guide is a Sible in multiple languages and the staff very helpful. There is a little restaurant on site, very picturesque with delicious coffee.

Incredible venue for a concert. Absolutely loved it

Built during the reign of Augustus in the 1st century BC, it is one of the best preserved Roman theaters in the world. Its beautiful exterior wall is impressive (104 m long and 35 m high). The cavea (Latin for "enclosure") could accommodate about 9,000 spectators who were divided according to their social rank. The construction of this theater helped the flourishing of Arausio (name of Orange as a Roman colony). The building was closed in 391. You can download an app that will help you to discover the place.

You can't go on the stage, but you should absolutely have a go at singing! The audio guide is great, very informative.

This was a wonderful example of ancient Roman architecture and ingenuity that gave rise to a theater that was used for many years for all kinds of entertainment and displays. It is one of only three of this kind in the world in this shape, and is a world UNESCO site. Not to be missed,

Impressive ancient Roman theater. The audio guide was really informative. We were a little unfortunate that a stage was being setup for plays during August (but it is great that this is not just a tourist attraction, but still in use).

Memorable and definitely worth the visit. Unique as the only Roman amphitheater in France with its stage wall still standing. A visitor can experience what it must have been like to perform on stage before an audience of thousands, with a statue of Caesar above you.

This Roman theatre is the best we have ever seen! We were in awe of the structure and the audiotour was very informative. Absolutely worth a visit. Ticket includes the museum across the street where artifacts can be admired up close. Also, for Dutch people or those interested in royalty, there is a small exhibition about the Dutch Royal family.

WOW. Absolute must see. Allow at least a couple of hours. Must be one of the best preserved amphitheatres. Don't miss the rooms behind the first tier.

The theater is stunning. We took a virtual tour which gave a mock up of how it outdoors have been in the ancient times. I really recommend a visit to this place that is quite used nowadays as well for concerts and plays.
