The Opry is a huge barn of a place, but it's very comfortable with cushioned pews.   This is live radio – complete with commercials – very strange.  It is a stage show and a radio show at the same time. 

It has a huge stage – many people standing in the back of the stage – performers in front – huge screens overhead and on the sides showing the performers up close (no problem seeing from where we sat and the screens helped us to see the people up close.
