The answer to your question would be that the verb mood of this sentence is subjunctive.

Explanation:

This sentence is an example of the use of the third conditional. The third conditional describes an unreal situation with reference to the past. In the if clause we use the past perfect subjunctive form of the verb (if + past perfect subjunctive). Then, in the main clause, you use would + perfect infinitive ("We would have been able to sit closer to the stage")
