		In ancient Greece the orchestra was the space between the auditorium and the proscenium (or stage), in which were stationed the chorus and the instrumentalistss.
		Full size orchestras may sometimes be called "symphony orchestras" or "philharmonic orchestras"; these prefixes do not indicate any difference either to the instrumental content or role of the orchestra, but can be useful to distinguish different orchestras based in the same city (for instance, the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Philharmonic Orchestra).
		Orchestras are also frequently assembled for use in film scores, as well as using already established orchestras for musical performances.

		Performances by the residents, however, were only a part of the centre's larger music program which offered, for example, during the 1969-70 season, 65 orchestral, chamber, and choral concerts; 13 recitals; and 12 performances of opera, 39 of ballet and other dance, and 142 of different kinds of musical show.
		The orchestra pit of the Opera can accommodate 110 musicians, and the acoustics may be altered to suit the sound of opera, orchestra, or choir by means of hydraulically controlled sounding boards and curtains in the ceiling and walls.
