The stage is covered with a large curtain and there is a large orchestra on the right side of the image. The orchestra is composed of a group of musicians playing various instruments, including violins, cellos, and trumpets. The musicians are arranged in a semi-circle on the stage, with the conductor in the center. The audience is seated in the rows of seats facing the front of the auditorium.
