Sections available in Joan Sutherland Theatre

Stalls

Rows: A-Z

The Stalls section is located on the ground floor of the theatre and is the closest to the stage, providing an intimate and immersive experience.
The seating in this section is gently raked, meaning the rows are slightly elevated as you move towards the back, ensuring good sightlines even from the rear rows.
The seats in the centre of the Stalls, particularly in the middle rows (F-J), offer some of the best views of the stage.

Circle

Rows A-P

The Circle section is above the Stalls, providing an elevated view of the stage. The rows in the Circle are steeply raked, which allows for clear sightlines over the heads of those in front.
This section is popular for those who prefer a broader perspective of the stage and the entire production.
The front rows of the Circle (A-D) offer an excellent balance of proximity and perspective, making them highly sought after.

Boxes

Rows A-E

The Boxes are located on the sides of the auditorium, providing a unique and slightly angled view of the stage.
These seats are often favoured by patrons who prefer a more private and exclusive experience. The view from the Boxes can vary, with some offering a closer perspective of the stage action, while others provide a more angled view.
The seating is more intimate, with fewer seats per row, allowing for a more personal space during the performance.

Loges

Rows A-E

The Loges are small, intimate sections located on the sides of the Circle, offering an elevated but close view of the stage.
These seats are similar to the Boxes but are positioned higher up, providing a slightly more elevated perspective.
The Loges are ideal for those who want a premium experience with a sense of privacy, as these sections are less crowded and have a limited number of seats.
