If you can afford any price point, I would recommend the grand tier. If you're on a budget, I'd consider the mid-mezz and then the front balcony. (I don't like the rear mezz at all, so I'd go up before going back.)
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
