Best seats, in my opinion, are downstairs in the orchestra seating-somewhere in the middle. Don't waste your money sitting too close up front. Seats in the Loge/Dress Circle are also great but tend to be more expensive than sitting downstairs.

For an orchestra musician just starting out, auditions are the only real way to secure a position with an orchestra. That's why the best method for finding work is to audition wherever possible, without worrying too much about which orchestras might be above or below one's level.
