Picture frame stage (English: picture frame stage)

Japanese: 額縁舞台 - がくぶちぶたい(英語表記)picture frame stage
Picture frame stage (English: picture frame stage)
A stage that is framed by a proscenium arch and extends beyond it, like a picture frame. This style is used in most theaters today and emerged in the 17th century. It absorbed the arena stage (a circular stage space) surrounded by a circular or semicircular audience seating, and the Elizabethan apron stage, which had a square front stage that extended into the audience seating, and a large proscenium arch clearly separates the audience seating from the stage. The appearance of the frame stage was a major advancement in stage equipment, as it became possible to prepare the equipment simply by closing the curtains attached to the arch, but it also weakened the sense of intimacy between the audience and the stage.

Japanese:
ちょうど額縁のようにプロセニアム・アーチによって縁どられ,その奥に広がった舞台。今日のほとんどの劇場で用いられている形式で,17世紀に出現した。観客席に円形,半円形に取囲まれたアリーナ・ステージ (円形舞台空間) やエリザベス朝時代のエプロンステージのように観客席に四角に張出した前舞台は吸収され,大きなプロセニアム・アーチによって観客席と舞台が画然と区切られた構造。アーチにつけたカーテンを閉じることによって十分に装置を準備することが可能となったため,額縁舞台の出現は舞台装置に大きな進歩をもたらしたが,一方観客と舞台との間の親近感は薄れることになった。
