Organ Specifications

The chambers are placed on the side walls of the theatre, entirely in the audience area (except for the unenclosed “percussion shelf” which is at procenium left).

There are two main chambers, Main 1 and Main 2 with Main 2 being the furthest back into the auditorium (about 1/3 of the length back). The swell shades open towards the rear of the auditorium, so the sound at the console is somewhat indirect. The best acoustic are in rows M through S of the theatre.
