It varies, from a single stereo pair flown above the front of the orchestra to individual mics for the instrument sections and soloists. While it's possible to screw anything up, in general, the simpler the mic technique, the better and more natural the recording.
You can't put conventional microphones where the audience would be, it doesn't sound right. The microphone doesn't "hear" what the ear does.
