Beautiful venue. Both the lobby and the theatre itself were really spectacular. Entry into the venue was quick and easy. The sound from the stage was good and traveled well. The only drawbacks were that the lines for the restroom were quite long during the intermission and there wasn't a lot of legroom at the seats, at least in the upper level. Overall, it was a good experience and I would return in the future.
Excellent experience. I saw the wonderful Detroit Story Fest. The Detroit Opera House is absolutely magnificent. I was once invited to the most beautiful wedding that was held there. It was like a fantasy.
Today was my first time visiting the opera house as i had won tickets to opening night to Back To The Future The Musical. I was on crutches due to a leg injury and every staff member I ran into was extremely helpful and accommodating to me and directed me to the handicap restroom without me even having to ask. Not to mention the entire building is beautiful. We were row U on the floor and our view was perfect. Such a great time, I look forward to attending more shows here in the future.
We've never been disappointed when we go here to see musicals. The performances are topnotch. The acoustics are wonderful.
Beautiful venue along with very organized staff. Went to see Back to the Future the Musical and it was amazing. The sounds and lighting was great, and even sitting on the top row of the theatre I had great visuals.
