Taken from the balcony to stage left looking across the auditorium, it looks directly at an onion-domed box stage right, with the area that would have been the stalls below, part of the balcony to the left, the stage and proscenium to the right and the ceiling above. The ceiling comes in the form of a panelled tent and is richly decorated with boldly modelled Baroque plasterwork.
