DRESS CIRCLE

Dress Circle: translation

   In the 1890s, when "theatre" began to sound almost as respectable as "opera house," and when fixed seating replaced chairs on the auditorium floor, the term "dress circle" began to supplant parquette to designate the section on the main floor behind the orchestra seats.
