Where is the best place to sit?
That depends. The David H. Koch Theater was built expressly to watch and enjoy the ballets of George Balanchine. If you prefer to see more of the architecture and fullness of the stage production, you might prefer the First Ring and upper Rings. They are set back and up from the stage. If you prefer to focus in on individual performers or stage elements and wish to be closer to the action, the Orchestra might be the better choice for you. Where is the best place to sit if I am bringing young children? It is a matter of personal preference; however many people find that young children very much enjoy the immediacy and closeness to the action that Orchestra seating affords. The aisles between the rows of Orchestra seats are very generous and accommodate well the restlessness and activity of children. Are there any discounts for Children/Seniors/Students or Groups to performances of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker ™? No. All tickets are full-price for anyone attending these performance
