Music Drives UsMarch 21, 2013Whoa! Designated a US National Historic Landmark in 1999, it is “acoustically, among the top three concert halls in the world and is considered the finest in the United States." Enjoy!
Jake SmithOctober 8, 2013During intermission, the first light signal is a warning; there is a second warning. When you get inside the hall, take a moment to admire the architecture, especially on the ceiling.
One of the most iconic venues in Boston! While Orchestra seats are generally the most desired, the first balcony center front rows are some of the best in the house with sweeping views of the stage.

Sunil GuptaDecember 17, 2015It is a wonderful experience for any performance. acoustics are excellent. Have some spare time to find parking in that area- Daniel KruegerMay 18, 2013If going to a Pops concert get a floor table seat. They have a fun menu with waitress service. Of note the waitress can not deliver individual libations from the bar (bottle wine service only).
Great acoustics and site lines. World class venue for world class performances.
