What's the temperature on stage compared to the termperature off-stage?  I
would imagine more often than not, the stage is hotter.

Surely there must be more to it than "because of the distance". Does that
mean the listener in the back of the auditorium hears things flatter than
the patron in the front row? Loss of higher harmonics due to stage curtains
etc. might make it sound flatter (total conjecture on my part). Just
curious. Any acoustics people out there have an explanation?
