I gather it's a style of theatre design, eg. La Scala in Milan, with the audience sitting in boxes arranged in a horseshoe shape - but apart from "Italian-style theatre" I wonder if there is a specific term for this type of theatre in English?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Le véritable « théâtre à l’Italienne » ne peut appartenir qu’au XVIIIe siècle, car il était avant tout un lieu de divertissement, d’expression théâtrale et musicale, un lieu dans lequel les spectateurs se jouaient entre eux la comédie de manière originale et quelque fois libertine pendant que sur la scène, les acteurs jouaient la comédie dans de somptueux décors mués grâce à des équipements
