| The Stage Director and the
scenographer seek the Managing Director's
approval for the set models which must meet the specific
requirements of horseshoe-shaped theatres like the Salle Richelieu. These include
offering the widest angle of vision on all sides, not
hindering the movement of the fire curtain, and meeting
security standards. Moreover, due to alternating performances, sets must be designed so that they can be set up and taken down
quickly, along with two or three others backstage.
