Best Answer

Because of acoustics-- when a sound hits a flat surface, it bounces off. If that surface is curved one direction, sound will travel that direction. If sound resonates to a dome surface bent outward to the audience, naturally the sound will move the direction that the dome is facing when the sound bounces off of the surface.
