Teatro Tipa consists of platformed and stepped stages that are embedded into the crumbling stone walls. The ruin becomes an integral part of the set design and experience. The design blends a multitude of historical references, from the Roman frons scaenae, in which the each scene was simultaneously shown in different sections of the stage, to the Vauxhall Theatre Gardens that housed a multitude of theatrical spaces in the landscape design. The rebirth of Tipa as an opera house allows it to continue to live in the minds of the spectators, performers, designers, directors, curious, and dreamers.
