Each cultural person will not be prevented from knowing the name of the places in the theater, especially if he periodically visits theatrical performances. But not everyone can boast of such knowledge. Below we will analyze in detail all the places and how they differ from each other.
Hall layout
If you belong to people who do not quite understand the names of places in the theater, then the hall layout will definitely help you clarify some points.
There are not many varieties of seats in the hall, these include:
- Parterre ("on the ground"). These places are located near the center. After the theaters appeared, the stalls were mostly standing places, but now they are gone, and any stalls are equipped with a large number of seats.
- Balcony. The seats are located above the amphitheater at different levels. As before, these places are appreciated, because they provide a good overview of the scene.
- Lodge. It is located, like the balcony, on the upper tiers, is located opposite the stage. The review is also very good, but ticket prices are higher.
- Gallery. Located on the balcony at the highest tier. It is not the most convenient location, and ticket prices are usually lower.
- Benoir Lodges, which are located at the scene level, on the sides of the stalls. Previously, spectators sitting in a benoir remained invisible to other people in the theater.
- Mezzanine. They are located above the benoir and amphitheater. These places are considered the most convenient, but their prices are very high, so not everyone can afford to buy a ticket there.
- Amphitheater. It is located above the ground on two sides. Places are arranged in tiers, which makes them more convenient.
The layout of the hall seats in the theater is presented below.
Choosing a place in the theater
The scheme of the theater hall will help in choosing a good place.
If you plan to visit the theater and enjoy what is happening on the stage, then you should responsibly approach the choice of location. In order to fully see the whole theatrical performance, and not to look at what is happening on the stage through the people sitting in front, and to get the most out of the theater, we recommend choosing a place on the balcony, mezzanine or in the middle rows of the stall opposite the stage. In these places there will be not only a great overview of the scene, but also good acoustics.
The layout of the hall is quite simple and it will not be difficult to remember it, but this can be useful in the future.
