Neopolitan

I think some of us are splitting hairs here and getting hung up on the exact terminology. The "Theatre of Pompey" was not merely an auditorium. It was a huge complex of buildings including porticos and a curia. If Ceasar was killed in the curia, it could easily be said that he was killed within the theatre, as the curia was part of the theatre -- no one said it was on the stage or in the auditorium.

Here's one picture and some information about the entire complex.

Neopolitan,
Yes it was a complex built by Pompey but it did have 3 distinct sections.

The Theater.

The Porticus of Pompey which was a very popular park open to the public.

And the Curia Pompey.

Today they call this complete complex the 'Theater of Pompey' which doesn't necessarily mean the ancient Romans did if they were going to one of those 3 sections?

My comments were about this restaurant and the claims regarding Caesar's assassination. And even you stated "You will be standing very close to the spot where they believed he was murdered".
But you won't, that's my point. The Curia is at least 150+m away.

The rear foundation of this Curia is exposed in the Largo di Torre Argentina. And the evidence points to that somewhere in space and time above this open-air foundation Julius Caesar once laid dying.

RE: the Antico Ristorante Sibilla in Tivoli ... my family and I went there when I was 10 years old which was, shall we say, quite awhile ago. But I remember it as if it was yesterday - the spectacular views of the town were incredible. In my book, this old restaurant is a must see. And the food was wonderful too. Here's some more info on it:
Antico Ristorante Sibilla. This famed restaurant should be included among the sights of Tivoli. Built in 1730 beside the circular Roman Temple of Vesta and the Sanctuary of the Sibyl, the terrace garden has a spectacular view over the deep gorge of the Aniene river, with the thundering waters of the great waterfall in the background. The guest list reads like a visitor's book at Buckingham Palace. Marble plaques on the walls list the famous and the royals who have come here to dine over two and a half centuries. In decades gone by, the tour buses arrived and the food suffered. Today, however, food, wine, and service standards are high, as befits the sublime setting. Via della Sibilla 50, Tivoli, Italy.
