    The document summarizes the evolution of amphitheaters and theaters from ancient to modern times across different civilizations and eras. It mentions that performances were originally staged in open spaces in Egypt, West Asia, Persia, Greece and Rome. Greek amphitheaters were typically half-moon shaped with a circular stage, while Romans sometimes built temporary wooden structures that may have inspired later stone amphitheaters. Examples of architectural structures for performances through history include the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, Notre Dame Cathedral featuring sound resonance, and modern buildings like the Heydar Aliyev Center designed by Zaha Hadid.

    Hagia Sophia
    The Byzantine Empire was married to water. Jutting out at the tip of a peninsula,
    ancient Constantinople was embraced by the Bosporus on one side and the Marmara
    Sea on the other. And at its heart, the magnificent Hagia Sophia. At once a bulwark
    against the sea and an apotheosis of its marvels, the basilica sparkles like the glints on
    the restless waters outside its walls as natural light roams the surfaces of marble and
    gold mosaic. "All of these elements are optical: the glitter, the marble . . ." says
    Stanford art historian Bissera Pentcheva. "They have an auditory dimension as well.
    When you speak or chant in that space, your breath is extended and attenuated by
    surfaces of marble and gold."
