| It depends on what those venues were built for and as. American Gilded Age and Great Society era theaters tend to be huge. They were meant to be populist expressions of public art with the Johnson era civic center buildings being usually extra large to accommodate the aspirational audiences of the future that would be educated and supported by a partnership between civic leaders (like Nelson Rockefeller) and the government. The Johnson era buildings were also a part of the cold war culture war of high art with Russia. It is hard to imagine that something like that ever existed but it did and it was well funded by the government. 1960's regional and municipal theaters in Europe tended to be more intimate (as their older theaters were are well).
