Besides, to get to the most expensive places neobyazatelno to buy tickets in the stalls. What is it and why is popular now that will help to understand the story. Despite the fact that the halls in the theatres vary considerably in size and, accordingly, the number of zones, the places for spectators are always available.

The ground. What is it?

This is part of the hall in the theater in which the location of the seats starts from the stage (or the orchestra pit) and ends with the opposite wall or the amphitheatre (if any). Traditionally, the orchestra is below the stage by approximately one meter and the same distance above the level of the orchestra pit. As already mentioned, many Amateurs believe that the stalls – it's expensive and good seats. In fact, it does not always correspond to the truth, because at all times the most expensive were the tickets in the box. And the convenience of the first places in the stalls is not always justified. If the audience came to listen to a classical concert, he doesn't have time to see everything that happens on stage. Another thing - the play. Seats in the first row of the stalls will provide the viewer a sense of involvement in the action that unfolds on the stage.

In the 16th century setting of the morality play and mystery were forced to move to the street. To do this, at the time of submission some part of it fenced. Wealthy citizens had the opportunity to watch the view from the Windows and balconies of the houses, which were located on the same street. Poor citizens and people of the lower class had to find a place on earth. Most likely, this is the word parterre. From the French "par terre" literally translates "to earth."
