What places to choose?
In the Voronezh Youth Theater there is a rather large hall, made in the spirit of the Soviet theater tradition. Armchairs are not the widest and not the most comfortable, and behind the person sitting in front you can not always see what is happening on the stage.
The layout of the "Theater of the Young Spectator" hall in Voronezh is not available on the official portal. You can find her only during a tour of some external performance.
It is better to choose places in the stalls from 1 to 10 row. Then the difficulties begin - despite the gradual rise of the ranks, depending on the degree of their removal, it will not be possible to really evaluate the actors' game.
On the far rows, the scene is almost invisible. This is very inconvenient and strange, because most of the audience is children. It is hoped that the theater is waiting for repairs, and the hall will be rebuilt in a more modern and convenient.
The Theater of the Young Spectator is a corner of classical Soviet art. It changes every year, but invariably continues to stage high-quality and interesting performances that make you think about something hidden and hidden, about what the director is trying to show the audience.
