Went for the Halloween Spooktacular kiddo/family concert. As always, the Cleveland Orchestra is spectacular. Can NOT beat live music !!_ It was such an awesomw touch, that each section of the orchestra : the musicians were dressed in themed custumes. The narrator dressed as Dracula was introducing each piece & was a hysterical MC! A nice touch = drinking water out of bottle, dyed bright red like blood. Such cute little touches like that made the early evening performance quite enjoyable ! There were fun & educational activities for the little ones too , with a Trunk or Treat, costumes welcomed. Just a GREAT family event for the community
A beautiful concert hall, safe parking and kind staff to guide you thru the building. I highly recommend this Cleveland gem. The music was amazing. I purchased tickets online and requested to have them mailed. I wanted my guests to have a ticket to keep from this beautiful performance.
Breathtakingly beautiful! We attended my daughter’s graduation from medical school here. Everything was perfectly organized for the ceremony. We sat in the balcony for full view. The ride up in the original elevator with working wheel mechanism and brass detail was so cool. Upon arriving in the seating area of the balcony, your eyes are drawn to the art deco ceiling. Incredibly amazing. This structure is undeniably a piece of art itself. The original telephone booths and 1930’s fixtures in the restrooms are in perfect condition. I am so grateful to have experienced Severance Hall’s beauty!
Came here for friends graduation from nursing school and it was a very beautiful ceremony. The sun was out so the pictures after the ceremony came out perfect. Parking was easy with the garage connected to the building so I was in and out.
Home hears my laugh, finds courage, and greets awe. Forever professional, neighboring hosts, one can rest among precise eloquence of generational talents. For Radiant, with act, every unintentional star echoes here. For Wade, stroll, string, and Ophelia's pin, few champion my horn away from Suspense. All day, every day, nightly energy congregates among the circle's hum.
