The orchestra faces the audience, otherwise those trumpets etc. wont 
be heard by the audience because the sound is travelling in the wrong
direction. The orchestra "pit" is right in front of the stage; actually
the pit at the Wang Theater in Boston is partially *under* the stage
(gives new meaning to "pit").
