That's obviously crazy. It's where you SIT in the hall that is critical (yes, technical measurements must be taken pre-performance WITH the full cooperation of the orchestra and, need I mention, the conductor?) and also how carefully one has cleaned one's ear canals (well, better clean both---and equally well); need I also mention the impact of the humidity (or dryness!) of the hall, and the apparel of the audience? What is the audience, after all, but baffling?
I don't know about others here, but I'd much prefer hearing my local high school band in BPO's hall than the BPO in the high school gym.
It is apparent that, should a community set out to have a wonderful orchestra, they place most emphasis on the hall-- THAT must be first rate.
The musicians and the leader?
Hell, second-rate will do.
If the managers fail to provide ear swabs or clothing recommendations, however, all is lost. The seating problem, alas, seems insurmountable.
