what is the name for the scenic backdrop at the rear of the stage, often representing the sky or skyline?

I believe that the Cyclorama is what you are trying to describe.

Cyclorama, that is in theatre, is the background device employed to cover the back and sometimes the sides of the stage and used with special lighting to create the illusion of sky, open space, or great distance at the rear of the stage setting.

Hope this helps!
