NT : Discover : Backstage : Sound and music : Music : Music under the stage in MAJOR BARBARA
When music is heard offstage, it's common practice in many theatres to create an illusion of distant playing by computer-generated sound effects relayed through loudspeakers. But for Major Barbara, composer Matthew Scott and musical director David Shrubsole decided it would sound much better to have the musicians actually playing under the stage.
