Howard Gilman Opera House at Brooklyn Academy of Music

Beautiful Theater. All the host was extremely helpful and served with a ," Smile." Each speaker on the 1 pm was extremely knowledgeable. This was a wonderful Experience!!!!

I recently attended two different performances by Alvin Ailey Dance at BAM. The venue has great acoustics but I found that the sight lines on the orchestra level dropped off dramatically between the center (first night) and the sides of the theater (second night). The HVAC also had some issues keeping the temps down on a warm evening. Dress for the weather outside in the summer.

It was my first time coming to this theater. It's a very convenient location and the theater is beautiful. The acoustic is great for a rock concert and I'm sure it's even better for opera or a stage show. The staffs are very courteous, that makes the experience even better. I was seated in the balcony section and I got a great view of the whole stage, I suspect there are no bad seats in the house (other than the ones next to the support columns). Be careful walking up and down the stairs, as they are very steep and quite a few people tripped. Although that's common for theater designs, please be careful to avoid injuries. The bathrooms are kept very clean and that's always a plus. I came here to see Madonna and I went home happy though she kept the whole theater waiting till 10:30.

What an afternoon! We watched Alvin Ailey American Dance theater at BAM! Simply amazing! Please try to see this experience if you can make it! Breath taking performance.

Movie was sold out but they still let me buy popcorn to go since my movie night was relocating to my home. I wouldn’t expect this treatment always since they’re not a takeout place but it was a kind gesture. Honestly, the best popcorn ever with the right amount of butter.
