Saw Michael Schenker at the Hispanic Center. What a beautiful place to have concerts. Michael at 70 years young, still puts on an amazing show.
Great intimate theater. I can't imagine there are terrible seats. We've come for opera, ballet, and flamenco.
Great theater with good sound system. Plenty of parking but a long walk. Wheelchair access is good for theater and restrooms.
What a beautiful venue! We went to the Vienna Light Orchestra and it was enjoyable. The only drawback was a missing stellar male vocalist.
Very much enjoyed the production of The Nutcracker. It's a nice theater and they host a wide variety of performances.
