outdoor theater

*amphitheatre is often used casually to describe an outdoor theater. Technically speaking, amphitheatre should only means two semi-circular (or U-shaped) theaters facing each other, forming a closed shaped such as a circle of oval. The Colosseum in Rome is a true amphitheater, reflected in its other name Flavian Amphitheatre. Many outdoor theaters that are called amphitheaters are in fact only "theaters."
An open arena with a stage usually used for plays or music like the Hollywood Bowl.

An amphitheatre is a theatre built to the Greek model. The stage is semicircular and backed with a wall behind which the actors can change and wait for their cues. The audience sits in semicircular tiers, going higher and higher as they get further from the stage. Some hillsides are naturally shaped like amphitheatres which no doubt was what gave the Greeks the idea in the first place.
