In a theater, it is the front of a stage, higher than the choir pit or orchestra. It comes to us from the Latin proscenium, ii, which borrows it from the Greek 960; 961; 959; 963; 954; 951; 957; 953; 959; 957; ( proskenion ) , formed by the prefix 960; 961; 969;- ( pro "in front of" ) 963; 954; 951; 957; 951; (skené "hut, awning, covered in the shade"), which was the name given to the backstage dressing rooms where the actors dressed. By extension it is any room for receptions, lavish and large, at the entrance of a palace or mansion, in front of the main rooms.
