Your Guide to the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) Seating Plan
The RNCM in Manchester is a premier venue for classical, jazz, and contemporary performances, renowned for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere. Understanding its seating chart ensures you get the best experience for concerts, recitals, and orchestral events.
RNCM Seating Chart Breakdown
- Stalls (Ground Floor): Closest to the stage, ideal for immersive performances. Central seats offer unobstructed views, while side sections may have slight angle limitations.
- Tiered Balcony: Elevated for a panoramic view, perfect for orchestral events. Front rows provide clear sightlines, but rear rows may feel distant for soloists.
- Choir Seats (Behind Stage): Unique perspective, often budget-friendly, but performers may face away intermittently.
Best Seats for Different Events
- Classical Concerts: Stalls (Rows C–H) for balanced acoustics.
- Solo Recitals: Balcony front (Rows A–C) for a clear view of fingerwork.
- Choral Performances: Choir seats for a surround-sound effect.

- Accessibility: Dedicated stalls seating and lifts to balconies.
