Hilbert Circle Theatre Seating Chart & Seat Views – Best Seats for Every Event

A Historic Venue for Unforgettable Performances

The Hilbert Circle Theatre, home to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, is a landmark venue renowned for its superb acoustics and elegant architecture. Whether you're attending a classical concert, Broadway show, or special event, choosing the right seat ensures an optimal experience.

Seating Chart Overview

✅ Orchestra Level: Closest to the stage, offering clear sightlines and immersive sound. Center sections (A-D) are ideal for acoustics, while side sections may have slight angle limitations.

✅ Dress Circle (Mezzanine): Elevated for a panoramic view, with excellent visibility and balanced sound. Rows A-C provide the best vantage point.

✅ Balcony: Budget-friendly with a bird’s-eye view. Front rows (A-B) are great, but rear rows may feel distant for intimate performances.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Symphony Concerts: Orchestra center (Rows E-J) for acoustics; Dress Circle for a full-stage view.
• Broadway Shows: Orchestra front (Rows A-D) or Dress Circle for unobstructed sightlines.
