Art/Literary - Other / Theatre | | Italian term or phrase: conchiglia dei palchi | | teatro alla Scala di Milano |
| | | horseshoe order of boxes | Explanation:
Una mostra la visione frontale della conchiglia dei palchi sovrastata dal lampadario, che rischiara l'oscurità insieme alle luci intermittenti e a quelle fisse delle lampade sopra gli ordini dei palchi, che contrappuntano l'architettura con una specie di pentagramma luminoso
One (image-photo) shows a frontal vision of the boxes in their horseshoe order dominated by the chandelier breaking the darkness together with still and intermittent lights above each row of boxes that underline the whole design like shining lines of a manuscript paper.
I believe the author is describing somewhat poetically the auditorium of la Scala with its six rows of boxes laid in a horseshoe fashion and the disposition of lights inside it. "Palchi" here means a row of boxes.
Feel free to improve this rather fancy descripron of the auditorium. |

Asker: Thank you Vittorio, putting together your suggestions and what I have already done should be very useful. Yes you are right it is a view of La scala from the stage.
