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").

Yeah, I was thinking of having all the sound bounce off the half-dome structure
making for a pretty bad echo probably. I was going more for symmetry of looks
not sound. Maybe I could move it into the back of the stage? Well I think I
need to find a great photo of something similar at least too, then I'd have
something to go by. I searched and searched and came up with either partially
constructed ones or pictures facing the wrong direction, none of which were of
this type I tried to make.
