Wasn’t impressed. A unique experience but could have been more, ordered a cocktail and cant bring it in unless you pay extra $10 for a “souvenir” cup that is blank plastic ? Could use updating . Seems left in the past . Orchestra was good but seemed ordinary. I would think it would be more for 200.00 a ticket and Lincoln center
Great place theatre had comfortable seats and staff was helpful and friendly. I loved they had coffee at the bar in edition to alcohol. I took off a star because you can not bring a closed drink in with you so downing it quickly was annoying. Open I understand but in a closed sip cup not so much. When you purchase 10 minutes before the show they should make you aware. ***American Modern Opera Company - Music For New Bodies - the show was really great. I'm not a fan of opera in English but the musicians and singers were excellent.
A beautiful venue! We loved seeing the New York Philharmonic. It was truly a special evening.
Acoustically this hall is the best. Ive sat in every tier just about and it was always great sound. The sweetest spot is the third tier up to the left, it was better than center tier surprisingly. Mezzanine level never disappoints. I say all this to say that I will be back more times than less and this is a beautiful gem amongst the Lincoln Square theaters.
I got a ticket during student rush, and it was amazing. It was my first time going to a concert like this. The first part was quite fast pace and dramatic, I’m not sure if I said it right since I have no knowledge in this field. The second and third parts were more calm. The theatre was big but I would recommend not sitting at front row since i couldn’t see all the artists at the back of the stage
