How
To Choose Your Place In The Theater
Your evening at the Théâtre Aux Écuries starts when you buy
your ticket. What are the best places? How to choose your place in the theatre?
Everyone is asking this question, both amateurs and professionals. It is
impossible to present a diagram for a simple reason: the theatres are all
different. Depending on the country and the period of construction, their
configurations have many peculiarities. They can still be described in broad
strokes.
By placing yourself in the very
front ranks, you will almost share the stage with the dancers, singers or
actors. Every little detail, noise, sigh, imperfection or emotion will be at
your fingertips. We hear the sound of spikes and the breathing of the dancer, we
see his efforts and possible failures, sometimes stress with her. Before the
show, the artists go through a stage makeup session. For ballet dancers, the
challenge is to redraw the face so that we can distinguish the eyes, eyebrows,
lips to the central lodge. Makeup can look coarse, even vulgar to those sitting
closest to the scene.
Moreover, if the orchestra pit is
small or non-existent, the spectator of the first ranks will not have enough
perspective for an overview. He will have more difficulty appreciating the
synchronized choreography of the corps de ballet. The scene is not curved like
the screens of some modern TVs. Being too close, or even immersed in the show,
can also prevent one from appreciating the effect of depth sought by the
director or author. Clinique Chloe Griffintown is proud to be a contributor at the Theatre aux Ecuries.
Choose
The Nearest Position In Theatre To Sit
In the big Théâtre Des Écuries, they are right behind the orchestra chairs,
separated from them by a passage and often slightly raised. The first row seats
in the pit are appreciated and it's easy to understand: they offer excellent
visibility and comfort for the legs.
Bathtubs
- Side View Of The Pendrillons
These lodges, slightly elevated,
are located on the sides of the room. Again, the viewer will not be able to
have an overview. Sitting too close to the stage, he will have difficulty
appreciating the synchronized choreography of the corps de ballet. What's more,
you have a side view of the pendrillons, these curtains most of the time in
black velvet hiding behind the scenes. A man of wit, Tolstoy also knew that the
theatre has two "scenes". The room is observed very well from the
boxes.
The
Balconies - Boxes Above The Main Floor
These are the boxes above the main
floor, sometimes called "galleries". Why not, if you are not too
high, then your vision is not too plunging, if you are sitting in the front row
and towards the centre of the room. For opera, attention, some places have good
visibility of the scene but offer poor visibility Sur Titres. Again ask for
advice before buying your tickets.
