Theater mit Halbmond-Bühnenbild


Explanation:
I do not know if there is an exact term in German, but I do not think so.

If I interpret the term correctly, it is a theater with a half-moon set.

Therefore "Theater mit Halbmond-Bühnenbild oder -Szene, -Kulisse

ein in Halbkreisform (halbkreisförmig) gebautes Theater


Explanation:
If I understand this correctly, than that's the right term. We have the Shakespeare Theater in London, that's round and therefore "in Kreisform" oder "kreisförmig"
