  1. orchestra pit

    An orchestra pit is a designated area, typically at the front of a stage, where musicians perform in theater productions such as ballets, musicals, and operas. The pit is usually sunken to keep the musicians out of the audience's line of sight while still allowing the music to resonate through the venue. This design also enables better communication and interaction between the conductor, musicians, and performers.
