Paul Arrowsmith Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Has anybody any advice on where best to sit in the Milton Keynes theatre - this for opera not dance? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I used to book seats in the Circle, quite often in seats AA or BB which are off to the side. Had a good view from there. I don't think we ever went in the Upper Circle so I can't vouch for how good the view is from there. The multi storey car park is a bit narrow so we've tended to park just outside the John Lewis car park and walk across the road. It used to be free after a certain time of night but I believe they've changed the parking fee structure since we left. Loved this theatre, the seats are comfortable and lots of room. Hope you enjoy the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sorry Paul, I've only sat in the front stalls but looking at the auditorium, I would guess the view is good everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Never used it for opera (and only once for dance, I think), but I'd have thought from the structure that the view and sound would be pretty good from most places. It's like a smaller version of Wycombe Swan, if I remember rightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 As far as I know, the multi-storey car park next to the theatre is free until further notice, great for evening performances, but can be full of shoppers and office workers for matinees! The acoustics are pretty good in the theatre, we generally sit towards the middle of the circle, 5 or 6 rows back, (ballet, panto and musicals) - not been to an opera there so far.

simonbfisher Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Watch out for rows C and/or CC (I think) in the Stalls - we got caught out once - this is where they insert an extra row which ruins the rake and the legroom. If you are heading for those rows it might be wise to check with the box-office, as I might have got it wrong by a letter or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Row C is the front row when NB are there and is superb. It is probably not as good if the other rows have not been taken out for the pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
