• Dress Circle: Vintage boxes with unique perspective (some restricted views)

Pro Tips

• Balcony center rows Q-U offer 90% of the view at 50% of orchestra prices
• Mezzanine center rows B-J provide the best balance of price and perfection
• Avoid extreme side sections past "LC/RC" designations for musicals
• Dress Circle boxes work best for couples (groups get split across boxes)

Best Overall Value

For most attendees, we recommend BALCTR Rows R-U ($74-86) for budget-conscious viewers or MEZZLC Rows B-E ($180-182) for premium experience without orchestra prices. The Opera House's steep balcony design means even "cheap seats" have good sightlines.
