large room for events and audiences
A big room with many seats where people sit and watch a show, speech, or school event.
Schema d'uso:
in the auditorium; the [place] auditorium
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse "auditorium" with "audience". "Auditorium" is the place (the room), while "audience" is the group of people watching or listening. They may also confuse it with "stadium", which is usually outdoors and used mainly for sports.
Sinonimi
hall (Often used more generally; can mean any large room or building, not only one designed for audiences.)
|
lecture hall (More specific to teaching and universities; usually smaller and more academic than a general auditorium.)

audience seating area in a venue
The part of a theater or hall where the people sit, not the stage where actors or speakers stand.
Schema d'uso:
in the auditorium; the auditorium of [a theater]
Errore comune:
Learners may not realize that "auditorium" can mean only the audience area inside a larger theater or concert hall, not the whole building. They sometimes use "auditorium" when they mean "stage"; remember that the auditorium is where you sit, not where you perform.
Sinonimi
seating area (A more general term that can apply to any place with seats; not limited to theaters or performance spaces.)
|
house (A theater term for the audience part of a venue; more technical and mostly used by theater professionals.)
Contrari
stage (The performance area facing the auditorium, where actors or speakers stand instead of the audience.)
