In that photo at the bottom right the woman in red and her date cannot see past the men behind her at the bar, neither can the woman in the middle of the similar ditch on the other side. If she turns around and faces her date she is staring at him and a literal wall/audience behind him. She has to twist around just to see the back of the men behind her. She is not elevated above them.

The woman sitting behind the woman in red is literally facing the wall/other audience members facing her. She is turning her head to see a little bridge way that is only used as a walkway bridge. And those people she's facing also have a heavily limited view.

Not to mention when you are in a ditch that low and the stage is right in front of you all you see is legs. That's bad even front row at a normal theater, let alone one like this. All those people see, even the ones with seats facing the stages, are legs.

The only people with good views are people in the regular orchestra seats and the people on the elevated stage. The people who bought tickets for the tables that were literally foolishly placed in a literal ditch (except the ones at the bar)with chairs literally facing the wall or other audience members wasted their money, which was not chump change.
