You enter a huge concert hall with draperies hanging from the walls and the stage silent and looming. You walk towards the stage and, after a bit of exertion, get up the stairs and peek behind the curtain. You see a stairway winding down into a small depth...there is a small tilt as the pit moves upward, the chairs lining the ascent. The stage is a different part, set aside for performances or ensembles. You stand in the middle of the stage, then see the way backstage and a small room to the left.
