Abstract
The trend during recent years for musical directors of touring opera companies to require productions to be played to a fuller score has resulted in problems for the orchestral musician. Research has found that musicians frequently complain of (a) lack of contact with the stage, (b) diminished ensemble within the orchestra, and (c) lack of feedback from the auditorium. The geometric design of the orchestra pit has been investigated and optimum parameters have been established. A system of electroacoustic reinforcement to improve communication between the stage and pit is described. [Work supported by S.E.R.C.]
