Michael Tusi Santiago of Saudi Lighting Company presented a lighting design for an amphitheater being built at King Saud University's Sports City project. The design included general ambient lighting for when no performance is occurring, as well as lighting schemes for regular shows, special televised events, and before/after show times. Renderings showed the lighting plans from various angles and with color filters. The luminaire options were also presented.

2. DEFINITION
An amphitheatre (or amphitheater)
is an open-air venue used for
entertainment and performances.
The term derives from the ancient
Greek ἀμφί (amphi), meaning "on
both sides" or "around" and θέατρον
(théātron), meaning "place for
viewing".
Lighting will play an important role in bringing life
to performances and events that will be held
at night in the Sports City’s Amphitheater.
