Row names in the theater:
Immediately behind the stage they go in order ground floor, amphitheater, mezzanine and balcony. The approximate distribution of the rows is:

The rows closest to the stage are the stalls. Following them is the amphitheater, a little higher - the mezzanine (if they are provided for in the design of the building). And then the balcony
The auditorium in the theater is traditionally divided into 4 parts: stalls, amphitheater, mezzanine And balcony.
Parterre this is the lowest part of the auditorium, located directly in front of the stage and orchestra pit, if the theater has one.
Mezzanine called the lower tier of balconies located above the amphitheater.
The spectator seats located above the dress circle are called balcony. Balconies are divided into tiers, 1st, 2nd tier, etc.
Also, many theaters have lodge. Benoir boxes or simply benoir located on both sides of the stalls at stage level or slightly below. There are also boxes on the dress circle, located above the benoir, and boxes on the 1st, 2nd and other tiers.
The topmost row and the furthest row in a theater, where prices are lowest, is often called the gallerka. The rows closest to the stage in the theater are the stalls. Next to the stalls is the amphitheater, and above the amphitheater there is a dress circle.
The rows in the theater from the very first to the last are distributed among the four spaces of the theater. These are the stalls, the amphitheater, the mezzanine and the balcony.
On the sides of the stage there are boxes in tiers for the benoir, mezzanine and balcony.
In theaters built in the 19th century, there are multi-tiered balconies.
In provincial theaters, it happens that there is no amphitheater and (or) dress circle. Accordingly, the boxes of the benoir and mezzanine.
Personally, I know well where they are only stalls And balcony. I know from cinemas, in my opinion there is nothing else there except the stalls and the balcony.
Parterre- these are the front seats.
Mezzanine- these are, in my opinion, the rear seats, which are slightly raised by a high step and are thus separated from the stalls.
On the sides there are also small balconies, which were called lodges. Now, on the Internet, I found out that the exact name benoir box.
Balcony is located behind and, as it were, above the mezzanine, on the second floor.
According to the generally accepted classification, the rows in the theater are usually called as follows. The closest to the stage is the stalls. Next comes the amphitheater, even higher - the mezzanine, and of course, the balcony. The top rows are often called gallerka.
The closest places to the stage, directly opposite, are called the stalls. Behind him the seats of the amphitheater rise. On the sides of the stalls, slightly rising above it, are the boxes of the benoir. The second floor opposite the stage is a balcony; the side places on the second floor are called mezzanine boxes. Even higher is the gallery, the cheapest places.
If earlier in front of the stalls, in which they did not sit, but stood, there were seats in armchairs (Onegin walks between the chairs along the legs), then today all the seats in the stalls are seated.
Then, for example, in the Mariinsky Theater there are benoir boxes, then there are the mezzanine boxes, and only then there are tiers, there are three of them in the Mariinsky Theater, and in the Alexandrinsky Theater, for example, there are 4 tiers, in this theater there is no benoir.
In the middle of the tier there may be places called a balcony; by the way, these are the best places to watch ballet performances. When I buy tickets to the ballet, first of all I look to see if there are seats in the middle of the balcony on the 2nd tier. Excellent visibility and reasonable prices.
The upper tier used to be called a gallery or a district. Today, the 3rd tier (of course, preferably the middle) has the most affordable prices and is usually occupied by students. My school years were spent on the 3rd tier. But once I listened to the Masquerade Ball from the Royal Box.
I often go to the theater, if tickets for a performance are inexpensive, then I buy them in the stalls - these are the seats that go straight from the stage or orchestra pit to the opposite wall, the back rows of the stalls are called an amphitheater, they are separated by a passage. If it’s a little expensive, I buy it for the balcony. The balcony has several tiers: the lower tier is called the mezzanine, followed by the balcony of the first and second tiers.
There are also separate places that are located directly above the stage to the left and to the right - the box.
The names of the seats in the theater migrated from street farce performances with stages. Spectators then simply stood on the street, on the ground, hence the name stalls. One could also watch the performance from the balconies of neighboring houses; this is how the seats in the indoor theaters that appeared later began to be called.
It’s just that different balconies got their own names - mezzanine, amphitheater, gallera.
Previous speakers have already repeatedly said that the rows of seats from the orchestra seats to the opposite wall are called stalls. Why are they called that? Precisely because not on the balcony, but on the ground - in French, parterre, on the ground. If we take into account that the farthest cheap ones - the upper balcony rows, the gallery - are called the district, and in English also the gods (gods) and paradise (paradise), including among the French themselves - paradis, then the antithesis of heaven and earth becomes clear in the structure of the theatrical universe.
In this photo of the Odessa Opera House, the stalls are clearly visible - in the very center of the photo.
They say that theater begins with the hanger, but in reality it begins with the purchase of tickets. The main question is which places to choose? There are stalls, boxes, mezzanine... In some theaters there are so-called uncomfortable seats - these are where you can’t see anything and hear little. However, such inconveniences are not always warned in advance. To avoid getting into trouble, MIR 24 TV channel correspondent Ekaterina Rogalskaya looked at the scene from all sides.
Some places are too far away, while from others the edge of the stage is not visible. To choose the best seats, first let's look at the layout of the theater hall.
What kind of seats are there in the auditorium?
- The stalls are the places in the auditorium area that are closest to the stage.
- The amphitheater is the space immediately behind the stalls. Usually the amphitheater area is slightly above the stalls.
- Seats in the mezzanine are even higher.
- At the very top there is a balcony.
- On both sides of the stalls there are boxes - these are small spaces with a separate entrance.
Lodge
By tradition, seats in the box are considered the most prestigious - previously only rich visitors could sit there. Each box has a separate entrance, and besides this you can not only watch the performance, but also show yourself. More than a hundred years ago, this is precisely why representatives of high society came. The officers sat in the stalls, and the titled persons sat in separate boxes. Leo Tolstoy described this in.
The seats in the box are some of the most uncomfortable. The stage is not completely visible, and you have to watch the performance half-turned.
Edward Lewis introduces Richard Gere to the opera by purchasing tickets in the box. But in fact, the places there are some of the most uncomfortable. The stage is not completely visible, and you have to watch the performance half-turned.
Parterre
Today, to the question “What are the best seats in the theater?” Almost everyone will answer “on the ground.” Seats in the stalls are traditionally considered the best, and they are also the most expensive. Moreover, almost every theater has a so-called “sound pit” - it is located somewhere between rows 5 and 10. There the sound literally flies over the viewer. This is especially important if you are going to the opera.
A famous film example: Bruce Willis' character Corwin Dallas in the film The Fifth Element watches the opera from the front row. Many people will not recommend taking tickets to the front rows of the stalls. It is only from afar that it seems that the artists are fluttering around the stage like butterflies, but in the first row you will hear all the extraneous noises. In addition, you will have to watch the action with your head raised, and you will still see the back of the conductor’s head in front of you.
Choose seats in the middle of the hall or a little further. Tickets are cheaper and the view is better.
Choose seats in the middle of the hall or a little further. Tickets there are cheaper than in the front rows, and the view is better. In addition to the stalls, real theatergoers often choose the first rows of the dress circle.
In general, the most prestigious and expensive seats in the theater do not mean the best. Sometimes even on the balcony you can see and hear everything without interference.
Avid theatergoers have long had their eye on great seats in every theater. But what should those who go there rarely or who are going there for the first time do?
First, you need to decide which theater you are going to. If it was an opera house or built before the 20th century, then the presented classification is for you. If you are going to a more modern place, then choose either the “director’s” row eight, or any place at all: you will be both visible and heard. With the exception of “blind spots,” all theaters have them, and each has its own.
Parterre
You shouldn’t look dreamily at the front rows, which are usually expensive but meaningless. During the ballet, you will clearly hear the stomping feet of the “fragile” ballerinas; during the opera, the conductor’s head will loom before your nose. During a dramatic production, there is still the option to nestle in the front rows, but this is not always useful, especially if the actors use objects “flying” in their passions, water, dust, smoke...
There is another problem with the stalls of historical theaters - they are flat. The rows do not rise above each other. So, if you are short, you will have to look through the cracks between your heads. Then choose at least the first row in the horizontal aisle (if available).
Amphitheater (benoir)
The amphitheater is located just above the stalls. And these are the most precious places, although the cost can easily turn out to be cheaper than the stalls. The overview is excellent, the audibility is excellent.
Mezzanine
The mezzanine is located above the amphitheater. Translated from French it means “beautiful floor”. Often they are actually quite nice. You can see great and hear even better, so it makes no sense to expect low prices from these places.
Lodges
Boxes are one of the most expensive theatrical pleasures. Their beauty lies in their distance from the crowd. A separate entrance to a separate room - yes, it’s almost a chamber hall! But behind the high price and pretentiousness there are also inconveniences.
You have to sit half-turned, but even this will sometimes not save you from the “cut off” edge of the stage, which can only be seen by falling down. And the further you are located from the royal box, the more limited your view. And only if you are in the first row. If you have a place in the second, then seeing at least something is a matter of pure luck.
Balcony
The balcony is located at the very top, above all tiers of boxes. High, but fun. Little people running around the puppet stage is a really funny sight. Therefore, if it is important for you to see the drama and feel it, do not take seats on the balcony, even though they are the cheapest. But for operas and concerts - just right. The sound there is great! Listening to Chopin while looking at the paintings and stucco on the ceiling is quite an inspiring process.
And most importantly, don’t forget about binoculars. If fate has given you a ticket to the balcony or to the high tiers, then they will save you from injustice!

Description.
Our hall is a transformable hall. Nobody could imagine that it was possible to build a hall suitable and comfortable for both ballet and theater performances, symphony concerts, and for shows with the most indescribable effects, fashion shows, traditional variety shows and film screenings. The glass façade of the modern building is trimmed with Canadian cedar. The interior of the hall is restrained, elegant and certainly modern (made only from natural materials). There are no unnecessary items or decorations in it, and those that are there are perfect. The design project belongs to the world-renowned Italian designer Antonio Citterio.
The hall was initially built in such a way that there were no bad seats in it. Comfortable soft chairs in the stalls are placed so that what is happening on stage is completely visible from any place. There is airflow and heating under each chair.

The layout of the Lenkom hall with seats is necessary when choosing a place in hall.
From the hanger, the main thing in it is the auditorium. And in the hall itself there is, respectively, a stage and seats for spectators.
Since antiquity, the theater has undergone enormous changes. But its essence remained the same, because any theater is, first of all, a spectacle. And every spectacle presupposes a spectator, who, in turn, wants the spectacle to be as comfortable as possible. The viewer at all times was not indifferent to what place he would occupy in front of the stage.
Parterre and balcony
The prototype of the location, and therefore the names of the seats for spectators, appeared in medieval street theaters that had booth-type stages.
Due to persecution, theaters did not have their own premises at that time.
Most of the spectators stood in front of the stage and watched the game while standing. This is the place and the stalls. However, residents of surrounding houses could watch the performance from their balconies. This is how the balcony appeared.
With the advent of theater halls, these street halls safely migrated under the roof. True, the seats in the stalls still remained standing for a long time and were intended for people of the lower classes. Only under the influence of the ideas of the French Revolution are there spectator seats in the stalls.
The balconies are located in different tiers opposite the stage or on the sides of the stalls. One of their varieties was the amphitheater. He was also facing towards, going upward in smooth ledges.
Lodges and gallery
But the most honorable place in the theater auditorium, undoubtedly, belongs to the boxes. Unlike a balcony, this is already a fenced-off room on one tier.
A special place among them is occupied by the general () lodge. It is usually located opposite the stage with the most convenient view for the audience. In addition, it is a kind of PR for its special visitors and increasing their level of security.
The important people in the general box are clearly visible from anywhere in the hall. And for security reasons it has a separate entrance.
Benoir - located in one of the tiers on the sides of the stalls. This row of boxes is usually at or just below stage level. The mezzanine is located above the benoir and amphitheater.
According to their size and shape, theatrical boxes are divided into two types - Italian and French. The Italian type of boxes is more recessed inward. Thus, he allows those in such a box not to be too noticeable to the rest of the public. French lodges, on the contrary, allow their inhabitants to demonstrate themselves as much as possible.
And finally, there is a gallery, or paradise, in the auditorium. A favorite place for audiences unpretentious to theatrical comfort. The seats here are located in the very top tier. They are as far away from the stage as possible, but they are the cheapest.
