Dress Circle
The first tier of seating above the stalls in a British theatre, equivalent to the American mezzanine. The name derives from the historical convention that patrons in these prominent, expensive seats were expected to dress formally. Dress circle seats combine elevation with proximity, offering an excellent view of both the stage and the orchestra pit.
