Home Music Lane

It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

sight lines

Some of the shoebox halls are actually pretty good with sight lines. Fisher in New York, which sounds dreadful, has good visuals from almost every seat. Symphony Hall in Boston is pretty good for visuals.

I've found that the horseshoe-shaped halls are the most likely to have zero-visibility seats. Both Carnegie and the Met have lots of those - rear seats on the Met's side boxes let you see... almost nothing. (But the sound in those side boxes is **so** good...) Yes it is fun to watch, and I often get one of the front parterre boxes at the Met because it's right over the pit. If the production is a yawn, it's always good to watch the goings-on in the pit.

I do find that list a little peculiar. No Eastman or Carnegie?
