Best Value Tickets

The most affordable options are in the AMPHITHEATRE LEFT and RIGHT sections, Rows F and E, priced at $36. These seats provide a good overall view of the stage, especially for those on the sides, offering a balance of affordability and experience.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

The MEZZANINE LEFT and RIGHT sections, Rows E and F, at $42 and $36 respectively, are ideal for a clear, elevated view of the orchestra and performers. These rows often offer a good balance of proximity and sightlines without the premium cost.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

Premium seats are located in the ORCHESTRA LEFT, Rows J and K, priced at $58 and $63. These seats are closer to the stage, offering a more intimate experience but at a higher price point, with excellent sightlines over the orchestra pit.

Premium or Last-Minute

Last-minute premium tickets are available in the Front Orchestra Right, Row FF, at $36. While these are technically in the orchestra, they are positioned towards the back of the front section, offering a direct view but less proximity compared to J or K rows.

Seating & View Highlights

  • Rows D and E in the MEZZANINE and BALCONY sections provide a balanced view that encompasses both the stage and the orchestra, ideal for a classical concert setting.
  • Orchestra Rows J and K offer closer proximity to the performers, perfect for an immersive experience, with excellent acoustics and sightlines.

Differences & Recommendations

Rows D and E in the MEZZANINE offer a sweet spot with a good view and moderate pricing, ideal for those wanting a balance of experience and cost.
Seats in the Orchestra (J, K) are best for close-up viewing and acoustic quality but are pricier.
Side sections (AMPHITHEATRE LEFT/RIGHT) provide a more affordable but slightly angled perspective, suitable for those on a budget who still want a good overall view.
