Fodor's Review:

The Théâtre Romain (Roman Theater), on Rue de la Charité, is one of the largest in Gaul (143 yards across). It held 13,000 spectators and is only slightly smaller than Rome's Theater of Marcellus. Rubble buried Vienne's theater until 1922; excavation has uncovered 46 rows of seats, some marble flooring, and the frieze on the stage. Concerts take place here in summer.

  • Cost: EUR 6, includes Cité Gallo-Romaine and St-André-le-Bas museums
  • Open: Apr.-Aug., daily 9-12:30 and 2-6; Sept.-mid-Oct., Tues.-Sun. 9-12:30 and 2-6; mid-Oct.-Mar., Tues.-Sat. 9:30-12:30 and 2-5, Sun. 1:30-5:30
