The Stone steps at the Theater in Orange are also used as seats. This massive first century outdoor theater holds five thousand people. I have been to two opera performances there. Both were jammed packed without an inch to spare.
The first opera I went to at this theater I didn’t know to take a pillow. The second time I went to the opera I forgot to take a pillow! Even with the surreal surroundings, the glorious full moon shedding light upon the huge stage and the movement and sound of the amazing costumed performers, it didn’t subtract one grain of hardness from those rock hard seats! While my behind was going numb, I realized that those seats are wide enough to place a mattress…If you should ever go to listen to an opera in Orange…I strongly advise you to forget a pillow and take a mattress instead!
I wasn’t the only one rubbing my behind while humming when I left!
