Pyrotechnics shows
The above is taken from the text below - which is a tender doc. for a pyrotechnics company specialising in large-scale events. I'm a little lost with the whole paragraph from which this phrase was taken so if anyone can provide any suggestions, they would be welcomed - thanks in advance:-)
En relation directe avec la flamme et la poudre, le théâtre pyrotechnique de grande dimension que nous proposons entretient un rapport d’affinité direct avec le gunpowder plot.
Le spectacle mélangera personnages et pyrotechnie,
différentes techniques telles que la flamme ou l’image géante, et le feu d’artifice sous toutes ses formes.
Cette présentation prendra appui sur un élément scénographique majestueux et fera le choix d’une disposition frontale avec une large ouverture.
Les différentes échelles visuelles seront conçues pour supporter une jauge supérieure à 40.000 personnes.

frontal presentation with a wide stage area
"Proscenium" would be a normal translation in a theatrical context, but that doesn't seem too apply here - the idea is audience is all looking from more or less the same perspective.

front-facing stage with a wide center opening
"This presentation will draw/focus/center upon a majestic scenic prop and take place on a front-facing stage with a wide center opening"
Personally, I think "wide center opening" sounds very strange and/or reduntant. Do they just mean it is an extra wide stage? Or are they emphasizing that there are curtains on either side? Anyway, I would say "front-facing stage" or "audience-facing" for "disposition frontale" (My understanding is that the stage is at the front and center--which is where it is traditionally located)
