An intimate space while also accommodating a good number of people. The architecture is amazing and you really should take a moment to look at the detail of the stonework and other touches in the main lobby!
Fantastic venue with great acoustics. The only issue I see with the place is some seats may be obstructed by columns so care must be taken when choosing seats.
Iconic beauty. A true gem in this city of remarkable architecture.
This is an excellent venue. The seats and sound are exceptional. They have a multitude of events. There is something for everyone. The only issue is street parking. It’s difficult to find parking spots close by unless you arrive early.
