A permanent cyclorama is a domed wall at the back of the stage; but few theatres are fitted with them, so a curved black-cloth is substituted. The main object of a cyclorama is to give depth or distance, which can be well produced by means of skilful lightining and the use of CUT-OUTS, GROUND-ROWS, and CUT-CLOTHS lowered in front of the cyclorama. Plastic models have become very effective lately, especially in pantomimes.
