Well, the peculiar thing about it all was they'd built a vast extension to the stage, and that's where the orchestra sat, right over-top of where the first six or seven rows of seats were, with the chorus packed back onto the stage proper. The dangling overheads (Avants) were maybe fifteen feet squarely over the instrumentalists. The Oktavas and Earthworks got a bird's eye view of everyone's feet, with the GT 55's eye level with the singers-- or slightly higher than that, maybe top hat level.
The room where you set the recording gear up is right astride of first booth, which is also reserved as part of the whole deal, so once everything is rolling along swimmingly, I'll park myself there and take in the show... impossible not to think of President Lincoln at times like this!
