disagree  Joanna Kwiatowska: that = MASTER OF CEREMONIES, a much more visible and significant job than USHER. WODZIREJ or GOSPODARZ sound better.

Odźwierny


Explanation:
The dictionary also offers:

Odźwierny

Woźny (sądowy)

Bileter (w teatrze, w kinie)

Szwajcar (w kościele)

Belfer (pogardliwie) – nie myślę że jest to właściwe słowo w tym kontekście, ale wskazuje na to że "usher" nie jest aż tak prestiżową pracą jak mistrz ceremonii.

Wiem, ze "belfer" to był nauczyciel, ale tak jest w słowniku. "Usher" to po prostu ktoś, kto prowadzi ludzi do właściwych miejsc na widowni. Może są w polskim jeszcze jakieś inne słowa, które kogoś takiego określają.
