Abstract
Temporal masking effects are a controlling factor in the ability of performers to hear each other well. Difficulties in ensemble communication and perceived weakness of the acoustic response of the auditorium can be exacerbated by high early energy levels often found in orchestra pits. These problems become particularly acute in orchestra seating positions under stage overhangs. Drawing on experiences as an opera conductor as well as an acoustic designer, the author: (1) provides an overview of the psychoacoustic challenges facing the opera house designer relative to orchestra satisfaction; (2) explores, using architectural examples, the reasons why some pits are highly regarded by orchestras and conductors while others, even those similarly configured, are not; and (3) proposes protoptypical design solutions to improve the listening environment both inside the pit and elsewhere.
