⚠️ The trap
English speakers know 'orchestra' as a music group. In Italian it also refers to the ground-floor seating area of a theatre — equivalent to the British 'stalls'. Don't be surprised when an Italian says your seats are 'in orchestra'.
To say "a large group of musicians; the main floor seating in a theatre" in Italian:
orchestra (correct for both)
"orchestra" in English means:
orchestra (musical ensemble); also the stalls in a theatre
Example
"I nostri posti erano in orchestra, vicino al palco."
"Our seats were in the stalls, near the stage."
