Stalls

The Stalls feature rows ranging from 14 to 26 seats in length, with no central aisle. Extra legroom is available at the row ends. The best views are from central seats, particularly in rows D to H, which are priced at a premium. Seats toward the far sides or back have restricted or distant views, reflected in their lower prices. A gentle rake ensures good sightlines and minimizes obstructions from the audience in front.

Dress circle

The Dress Circle is arranged in a single block, with rows varying from 12 to 28 seats and no central aisle. Extra legroom is available at the row ends. The steep rake ensures clear, unobstructed views throughout the section, with the best (and priciest) views from central seats near the front. Seats at the far sides, particularly in the longer Row A, may have restricted angles. Additionally, the Dress Circle includes four side boxes—A, B, C, and F—each accommodating two to three seats.
