Information about theatres can be found here. The primary aim of this thread is to give information about seats etc so when others book they can have an idea of the quality of the views from said seats.
Recommended seats are in Green. Not recommended are in red.
It would be helpful if when you comment you say which theatre, which city (if there's more than one per country ie the Hippodrome) and country, where you sat, if you would recommend and then comments.
I'll then edit this post as a database thing.
Countries and theatres will be added as information is given. Feel free to comment even if the theatre is already here - information will be added.
Hungary
Budapesti Operettszínház
Stalls, Row 11, Seat 7 B and 8 B
Good seats. The stalls aren't so tiered so it can be tricky to see if the person in front's head is in the wrong place but it's not drastic. Translations above the stage so you need to look up quite a lot which could cause a little bit of neck ache but this is also not a major issue.
Madách Színház
United Kingdom
Apollo Victoria
Bristol Hippodrome

Circle, Row
2, Seat 21/22
Really good seats. Clear view as only one row in front in circle.
Comfortable for viewing the translation as it shows above the stage and you don't have to crane your neck to see.
Lady selling tickets says stalls not very tiered so you might not get the best views in the word at the back

Good seats, Good view. Very tiered seats so no head obstruction which is fantastic. Could cause difficulties if you aren't so good with heights because, although not all that high, the tiering makes it feel a lot higher most of all when going down the stairs.
Wouldn't want to go much higher as then would be above the stage which I presume would cause obstruction.
Rows are very close together so there is very little leg room although I assume this is the same in all seats - certainly in the circle.
It is possible to hire opera glasses which are inset into the seats if the view is too small

I always sit here because the view is fantastic. Not too close to the stage but close enough to see well.
