Il proscenio è la parte del palcoscenico teatrale che si trova verso il pubblico. In genere il proscenio viene confuso con la ribalta, la quale invece è la parte che delimita il palcoscenico stesso e che un tempo ospitava le luci che illuminavano scena e attori.

Il proscenio fa parte della scenografia e viene usato dagli attori durante la recita, mentre la ribalta non ha riferimento con la scenografia, ma con il limitare del palcoscenico.

Types of stage

[edit] Proscenium stage
Since the [Italian Renaissance], the most common stage used in the West has been the proscenium stage which may also be referred to as a picture frame stage. The primary feature is a large arch, the proscenium arch, through which the audience views the performance. The audience directly faces the stage--which is typically raised several feet above front row audience level--and views only one side of the scene. This one side is commonly known as the fourth wall. The proscenium arch evolved from the proskenium in Ancient Greek theatres. This was the space in front of the skene or backdrop where the actors actually played.
