INSIDE THE THEATER

Audience
Often the auditorium and balconies are enveloped by a dead zone of corridor on all levels.
Traditional balconies embracing the stage would be in the way of the extended proscenium. By turning the balconies in to stairs and ramps going above and below the stage opening, we can resolve the main circulation within the auditorium, eliminating dead corridors while increasing the amount of potential event space.

On the kings side the 2 balconies ascend and connect to the upper foyer, leaving space for a giant sliding door below it. Before and after the show, large masses can flow uninhibited through the 10m opening. On the ladies side the balconies connect to the main floor providing a shortcut to the ground floor foyer spaces. Above the queens balcony pierces the auditorium straight from the royal foyer.
