Orchestra

The orchestra is a circular-shaped part of an ancient theatre located at the base of the cavea, between the spectators on the steps and the stage.
This space was dedicated to the choir performance.
The choir members, called choralists, walked or danced together, commented using song on what was happening on stage and sometimes intervened directly in the action.
The choir was led by the coryphaeus, who was its leader and interacted with the actors.
