In Short
The minimalist auditorium, which seats 2,400, has a large main floor with three balconies symmetrically girding it. Behind the natural wooden stage and on the ceiling loom what look like enormous sugar cubes hurled by some mythical giant. These blocks provide surfaces that deflect sound, making Orchestra Hall among the most acoustically perfect theaters in the nation. You can hear from anywhere--but the balcony view obviously gets better the closer you are to the front.
