Surprisingly great seat! For an opera, this seat is optimal as you're far enough away that you can read the subtitles above the stage without having to constantly crane your neck to look up. You can't read faces, but it's an opera, so this is less of an issue. For a different type of event (e.g. artist concert, musical), this would be much more of an issue. Acoustics are phenomenal here, as expected for this venue.
Excellent center view in the orchestra! Great distance from the stage to take in the action and still make out all faces. Acoustics and legroom are both phenomenal in this seat!
Could sit up to Row B without obstructions (C would be best)

The pit was lowered for the live music, and row D was 3rd from the front. I'm 5'0” and was just above eye level to the stage — I could easily see the entire stage. Fortunately, the orchestra level is raked seating (not flat); each row is slightly higher.
I went to the LA Opera and had this seat for a great deal. It's reallllly high up there - I wish I had brought some binoculars (or opera glasses). For the price I was satisfied, but will plan differently if there's a next time in seats this high up here.
Much closer than what photo depicts. Wall was not noticeable either. Front row and edge seat, so lots of leg room and space (compared to front Balcony B). Angle was not bad at all either despite being on the very edge.
Door: 33 Loge: G Seat: 41. Excellent seat. Edge seat with nobody to my right or directly in front of me. There is a wall that partitions this seat and 6 other seats (seats to my left, Wheel chair accessible)

Very close to the stage and no issues seeing over the people in front of me, but I couldn’t see what was happening in the far right back of stage. Not a major issue as only 1-2 minor sequences occurred there.

Great view and ample legroom.
Great view and good legroom. To the side but you don't miss anything
Good leg room here

great seat for the performance!
Perfect view
Section Circle Left
I had seats 57 and 58 and they were fabulous. Plenty of leg room, comfortable, only 4 seats in the row, right by the stairs, great view!
Section 41
It is very high up. You can't make out the actors' faces. Seats aren't very wide which may be tough if you're a big person.
Obstructed View Seats 1-5, seat 1 pictured has least obstruction

This is a very short seat - if you are over 5'4” your knees will hit seat in front of you. Whole row is bad.

High up and far. Expected better view for the price.
