Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall Seating Guide - Oregon Symphony: Mahler 3
Best Value Tickets (Under $50)
- Upper Balcony (A-F): Rows V-Z at $38-48 offer the most affordable way to experience the symphony. While higher up, the hall's acoustics ensure clear sound. Best value: Upper Balcony A Row V ($38) with slightly better side views than sections C/E.
- Orchestra D Row BB: At $39, these center-rear orchestra seats provide excellent sound projection for Mahler's complex arrangements.
Sweet Spot Tickets ($50-100)
- Lower Balcony (A-F): Rows O-T ($63-95) - Closer than Upper Balcony with better sightlines to the full orchestra. Section A Row R ($66) avoids extreme side angles.
- Orchestra B/C: Rows BB-JJ ($48-91) - Mid-orchestra positions offer ideal balance between price and proximity. Orchestra C Row DD ($49) is particularly well-priced for center-left seating.
- Balcony AA: Front row of first balcony tier ($71-75) provides elevated perspective perfect for watching conductor David Danzmayr's technique.
Premium Seating ($100-200)
- Mezzanine: Rows F-M ($105-168) - The signature "Schnitzer sound" shines here. Upper Mezzanine E Row L ($105) delivers excellent acoustics for Mahler's dynamic range.
- Dress Circle: Rows B-D ($152-208) - Closest premium seats to stage with unparalleled sightlines. Dress Circle E Row B ($152) places you directly above the string section.
View Considerations
- Upper Balcony: Steep angle means you'll see mostly the tops of instruments - best for pure listening. Avoid extreme side sections (E/F) for choral works like Mahler 3.
- Orchestra Rear: Rows BB-HH allow you to see the full string section bowing in unison - magical for symphonic works.
- Lower Balcony: Perfect for watching percussion and brass sections which feature prominently in Mahler.
- Dress Circle: The only seats where you can clearly see both the conductor's expressions and the full orchestra layout.
Our Top Recommendations
- Budget Pick: Upper Balcony A Row V ($38) - Best side-balcony view with full stage visibility
- Mid-Range: Orchestra C Row DD ($49) - Center-left orchestra at near-balcony prices
- Premium Experience: Dress Circle E Row B ($152) - Perfect vantage to appreciate Mahler's spatial orchestration
- Group Option: Orchestra D Row BB (4 tickets at $39 each) - Great togetherness seating
Acoustic Notes for Mahler 3
The Schnitzer's warm acoustics particularly favor Mahler's large orchestration. For this 90+ minute symphony with off-stage brass and chorus:
- Mezzanine seats (E/F) provide ideal balance between the on-stage orchestra and rear chorus
- Orchestra rows HH-JJ let you feel the double basses' rumble in the low passages
- Avoid extreme side seats (Upper Balcony E/F) as you may miss some off-stage effects
