translate English to French: The theatre also flourished: the upper classes commissioned private performances at court and at home, while the public most often assembled in corrales, where improvised stages were set up at one end of the square formed by the walls of adjoining houses, which could accommodate up to 2,000 people.
Le théâtre est prodigieusement populaire dans cette société : les riches et les nobles se font donner des représentations à domicile tandis que le grand public se rassemble dans de grands théâtres semi-couverts de forme rectangulaire, les corrales, qui peuvent contenir jusqu’à 2 000 spectateurs.
