Orchestra pit: The lifting floor section

A sunken area in front of the proscenium. The orchestra pit floor can be raised and lowered: lowered to its lowest point to accommodate an entire orchestra, raised flush with the stage to become an extended performance area, or raised to audience seating height to add extra seats. The pit edge has low railings and music stand lights. Avoid: depicting the orchestra pit as a fixed, non-adjustable deep pit, making it too narrow to accommodate an orchestra, omitting the lifting mechanism, or making the pit so deep that musicians cannot see the conductor.

台口前方的一塊凹下去的區域。樂池的地板可以升降:降到最低容納整個管弦樂團,升到與舞台齊平變成延伸的表演區,升到觀眾席高度則可增設座位。池邊有低矮的護欄與譜架燈。避免:把樂池畫成固定不可調的深坑、寬度不足以容納樂團、拿掉升降機構、讓樂池的深度導致樂手看不見指揮。
