An orchestra box between the public hall area and the stage
The orchestra box is a musical stage performance (opera, operette, musical) where the orchestra is located. There is room for a full symphony orchestra consisting of dozens of musicians.
It's a reduced place between the stage and the audience - the spectators are watching the orchestra box. Spectators at the higher seats can look into the orchestra box. Sometimes the orchestra box is partially below the scene.
If the orchestra box is not required, it can be extracted from most of the rooms. This is done by covering him or by sliding the floor of the orchestra box to the hall or stage level. There is then room for a bigger stage or more chairs.
The orchestra box is a definite risk to the actors - it's time for an actor to step next to the stage and end up between the musicians. In order to prevent this, it is sometimes stretched over a part of the orchestra bin. On the side of the hall there is usually a (removable) fence.
Sometimes there is a staircase between the orchestra box and the stage. There is then some interaction possible, especially during a comedy. Due to such a staircase, the conductor can walk through the stage to the orchestra bin, which makes him more noticeable and receives more applause than when he immediately appears in the orchestra box. Other shapes
In a circus the orchestra is usually in a space above the entrance to the piste. This is also called the orchestra box. The musicians have a good view of the piste and that is necessary because they, contrary to an opera, must strongly improvise and respond to what is happening in the piste.
A small combo, for example with a cabaret, is usually performed on stage. So there is no orchestra box.
