National Theatre (Lyttelton)

The Stalls is the ground-level seating area, offering a direct and immersive view of the stage. The Lyttelton features a good rake throughout the Stalls, ensuring generally clear sightlines over the heads of those in front. Front rows (A-C) are very close to the stage, providing an intimate experience but may require looking significantly upwards, which can be uncomfortable for some during longer performances. Mid-stalls (rows D-M) are often considered prime seating, balancing proximity with a comfortable viewing angle. From row N backwards, the Stalls are situated under the overhang of the Circle, which can partially obscure the very top of the stage for taller sets or projections, particularly from row P onwards. Legroom is generally good, with aisle seats offering additional space. Side seats in the front few rows may have slightly angled views of the stage.
