Orchestra pit
An orchestra pit is the usually lowered area (hence pit) in front of and/or underneath a stage where an orchestra accompanies performers in a musical, opera, or other type of show involving music. In some cases, part or all of the pit is on a mechanical lift which can raise the floor to the level of the stage deck.
