Lexington Opera House Seating Chart – Best Seats & Views Guide

Historic Venue, Unforgettable Experiences

The Lexington Opera House, a historic gem since 1886, blends Victorian elegance with modern comfort. Known for its intimate atmosphere and superb acoustics, this 1,000-seat venue hosts Broadway shows, concerts, and performances. Understanding its seating chart ensures you pick the perfect spot for your event.

Seating Chart Breakdown

  • Orchestra (Floor): Closest to the stage, offering clear views. Rows A-F are premium but may have slight neck strain for tall patrons.
  • Dress Circle (Lower Balcony): Elevated for a panoramic view, ideal for theatrical productions. Center sections (Rows AA-DD) provide the best sightlines.
  • Balcony (Upper Tier): Budget-friendly with good acoustics, though rear rows may feel distant. Avoid far-side seats for skewed angles.

Best Seats by Event Type

  • Concerts: Orchestra center (Rows G-K) for balanced sound and visibility.
  • Broadway Shows: Dress Circle center (Rows BB-CC) to appreciate staging details.
  • Comedy/Lectures: Front Orchestra or Dress Circle for engagement.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP Boxes: Private, elevated seating with exclusive amenities (limited availability).
  • Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra rear and Dress Circle, with companion seating.

Pro Tips

  • Use the venue’s virtual view tool to preview sightlines.
  • For budget seats, Balcony front rows offer great value.
