The pit balances projection with blend. Low enough to soften brightness, high enough to keep conductor‑singer dialogue.
👁️ Sightlines
- The conductor must read stage cues.
- String sections need cross‑visibility.
- Winds/brass benefit from reflective surfaces.
| Section | Note |
|---|---|
| Strings | Visual rhythm |
| Winds | Point color |
| Brass | Controlled power |
The pit is collaboration geometry.
Listen from stalls—notice blend vs. detail.
