Beautiful building, friendly staff, wonderful acoustics. Got tickets for a concert ahead and was able to get good seat locations. Off street parking available which is free after 6pm, be early and find good free parking. doubletree a block away also offers paid parking

Susie Paine

First time coming to the Grand, the staff was really friendly and the building was beautiful. I was worried about finding parking, but there are a few lots within a couple blocks of the theater. Overall a great experience

Gorgeous building with an amazing interior! And acoustic is absolutely phenomenal! It was my first time here but definitely not the last one! There are a lot of performances, opera and live shows, highly entertaining. Amazing experience, highly recommend!

Manda Saurus

Great venue with comfortable seats and clean bathrooms. Thanks to the volunteers who worked at the show!

Teri Cooper

We saw the coverband Evil Woman American ELO . The acustics we're perfect, the seating was good.. anywhere you sat you can see the stage.

Haritha Malladi

Great place to catch a variety of shows in the heart of Wilmington. Affordable way to engage with the fine arts as compared to Philadelphia. Highly recommend the ballet.

James Cox

Great venue. Only issue is they still serving beer to early. Also couldn't get a water.

Timeeka Addison

Was in a play at the Grand Opera House and enjoyed every moment! Haven't been there in years and it was so nostalgic!!!

Matt Zelonka

Fantastic venue. I have been to multiple shows at the venue and each one has been a great experience. Staff and the crew is fantastic.

Jennifer Fletcher

My sister had her wedding here and not only was the venue Beautiful but the staff were Sooo Helpful!!!!! Everything turned out Amazingly Well!!!

margaret bello

Wonderful shows, but the seats are not meant for anyone over 5'7" and 120 pounds.

Regina Platt

The performance wS outstanding!. We love going to things at The Grand. Great venue.

Kisha

The show was wonderful. Charles Walden and Dante Carter were awesome! The night was good . If you purchase tickets from here make sure that you're not told they will reserve them without cash. I was a friend of the performer who asked me to reserve two rolls of seats the seats were reserved but they still gave them out and the people we got to purchase them couldn't sit there they said it was because there was no money given although the person on the phone said we didn't need any. So the staff is not all on the same page as they should be.

Scott Witman

Had a great time. We saw TRO. They were great. All Eagles songs 🎵 …

Shaun Malone

Went to see The Marriage of Figaro, and the performance was great. Although, we had to wear masks the whole time due to the covid levels. The venue is really nice. It's a bit small at times when everyone is moving like during the intermission, but it was never too bad. I definitely think it is worth anyone giving it a try.

Diane Nugent

Beautiful venue. Wonderful people there. Fun concert with Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes

Avi GOLDSHMIDT

Great Opera House. Old style venue. Excellent proformance highly recommend.

Sophia Van Lith

Went to go see the nutcracker ballet, such a beautiful venue and a great performance

Tanisha Truitt

First time there and the show was amazing! I was happy that they had a bar and snacks. Seating was comfortable.

Troy C

Wonderful venue - all seats have a good view

Mark Hopkins

Beautiful old theater. They bring some very good musicians to Wilmington. We saw George Winston. It is a smaller venue, so you are closer to the stage. Worth a visit. It was not too crowded.

Michael Ashby

The clerk was very helpful getting the tickets for the shows I wanted.

Kimberly Martin

I saw drumline the musical in this beautiful theater! Great time and great staff 👍🏾 …

Edward Walker

Going tonight, moved to Wawaset Park from HHI. Been to about 8 shows, so close, always a good time!!

John Sorensen

We saw comedian Lewis Black at this Great venue for rock seated rock concerts and shows. Good pricing. Nearby affordable parking. Fairly comfortable seats. We go 5-6 times each year to this exceptional theater in Wilmington DE.

melsmith426

A beautiful place to visit but go on the guided tour to learn more about the historical landmark.

Jack

We saw The Maverick's Band and they were awesome plus the Grand was perfect! However, getting to the Grand and finding parking was almost impossible we had to park in a lot about three blocks away and felt very unsafe especially walking back to our car at night. The area is very dangerous so be careful. We were warned by the police.

Valerie Quackenbush

I sat in a dress circle. I had a decent view and the acoustics were good. My seat was a little close to the railing in front of me, But overall the area where I sat wasn't crowded so I was comfortable. The ushers and staff were very friendly.

Ken Halaby

This is an amazing, historic building in the nicest part of downtown Wilmington. Definitely worth supporting. It's beautiful inside and out. Large variety of performers play here. One note...it's late fall 2021 right now and I needed a vaccine card to get in. It's actually the first time I've had to show my vaccine card anywhere other than an airport since COVID started. Luckily I was able to find a picture of it I had saved for a trip abroad or they wouldn't have let me and my son in to see a show that we were super excited to see. I'm glad they're being super careful, but that would have sucked.

Scott Rhodes

This little hidden gem..let me tell you..This was our second time there and it was an absolute awesome time..From the staff to the show it was a Grand Old time..we will be going back soon for another show..Fortune Feimster was amazing

Gwen G

went to see Sinbad. the show was great seats are tight but it's a nice spot, any seat is a good seat.

Dawn Miller

Love 💘 this place. I drive for hours to enjoy a show here! …

Larry Denburg

The grand is a wonderful venue. I've attended numerous performances there... music, comedy, shows, and magic! This most recent performance was Justin Willman (Magic for Humans, on Netflix). What a great time! The show itself was terrific. And the ushers are always friendly. Highly recommended!

Denise MacLeish

Enjoyed a show with Gaelic Storm. Very entertaining 👏 wonderful old building providing a variety of entertainment. …

Dana Hummel

Great concert hall... Not too big and all seats are reasonably close to the stage... Acoustics are great, seats are comfortable and viewing is great as well. Recommended.

Chris Mixon

AMAZING I FINALLY GOT TO SEE CHRIS D'ELIA LIVE AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE IN WILMINGTON DELAWARE, IT WAS A BLAST. AND ALL THE OPENING ACTS KILLED IT I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH CHRIS'S NEW ONE HOUR COMEDY SPECIAL HE BLEW ME AND MY FIANCE AWAY... THE 9NLY THING I HAVE TO SAY BAD ABOUT THE THEATRE IS ITS VERY SMALL SO BE PREPARED TO BE CRAMMED IN THE THEATRE AND SEATING THANK GOD WE WERE IN THE FRONT ROW OF THE BALCONY SO WE COULD PUT OUR FEET OVER THE EDGE BUT OTHER THAN THAT AN AMAZING PRESENT FROM MY FIANCE.... GREAT NIGHT ALL AROUND

david tash

Beautiful building, built in 1860s. Great crew to work with.

Mark Fields

Saw a great show (Dracula) enjoyed our evening

Valarie Tickle

Great place to enjoy a show. Personal local feel and pretty much any seat is a good seat. Professional accommodating staff. They also had many safety measures in place during this time.

Brett Skipper

Great place to catch a show. Beautiful exterior and interior. The get a lot of really good acts. We saw saw Pink Martini there and we really enjoyed ourselves. Because the theater is old the seats can be a bit tight, especially if you are tall. Other than that it's a great place.

Jayashree Srinivasan

It's a landmark. The huge French windows with red drapes are grand Very eclectic gathering

Erik West

A great place with tremendous acoustics!

Terri Eberly

First time at the Opera House. The architecture is gorgeous. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Saw Damian Escobar and he was AMAZING.

Anna Russell

Seats were super tiny but otherwise a great place to see a show.

sh4rkbyt3

Amazing sound quality here. Saw both Peter Frampton and Robert Cray here some years ago and what a great venue. Not huge by stadium standards and every seat provides excellent sound quality and a great view of all performers. Seating is actually comfortable as well. By far the best indoor theater sound for concert venues including several that I've been to in Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Cheryl Pfeiffer

Have been a member for years. Wide variety of entertainment at reasonable prices. Wonderful venue.

Meryl Pullen

Excellent venue! Great location, easy parking, good sound, not a bad seat in the house and very comfortable.

David Baranowski

Just saw one night of Queen at the Grand Opera house and the show was wonderful. Great little venue for all sorts of entertainment.

Tom Purcell

Beautiful, historic concert hall on N. Market St. in Wilmington, De. Just starting to resume scheduling a wide variety of entertainment. Entrance requirements currently ( Oct 2021), include mask and proof of vaccination.

Cynthia Randolph

We went to see Carols in Color. This was an exceptionally well done production. The vocalists were phenomenal. The dancers were well choreographed and really did a great job. If you have not had the opportunity to experience this show, run don't walk to get tickets! The show is fantastic!

Sharon W

Travelled down from New Jersey to see Leonid and Friends. They were awsome and we had a great time!

Antonio Rosario

Beautiful theatre! First State Ballet Theatre was wonderful ! Bravo to all the dancers!

Thomas Roberts

Awesome evenings! Boney James was awesome thr sound was great!

Edward Henderson

This place is historical. A nice mature grown folks events. Sound system is good and seating is good as well. Relax chillaxing atmosphere

Mike Waters

Great historic venue with excellent acoustics. They've really stepped up their booking game, getting larger national acts. Tall/large patrons may find seating a little tight - if possible, purchase seats in the front rows of the sections as they tend to have more legroom. Adult beverages and snacks available at most shows.

Paula Papageorgiou

Went to the Queen show here,beautiful place,great showand nota bad seat in the house.I also think the people who work hsre are great!!

Jeff Lacey

Came tonight to see "Classic Albums Live" perform the Beatles legendary Abbey Road album. This venue is an intimate, old theater and a great place to see a show. Tickets are reasonably priced, and the lineup is quality. Parking is a pain, but that's downtown...there is a garage two blocks away, which is open until 1:00am.

Robin Searle

Went to The Mavericks concert in Copeland Hall, sound and lighting effects fantastic. Staff was polite and helpful. First time seeing the group but have their old 90s hits. The Mavericks were fabulous, they entertained us for 3 hours the audience loved them. Best concert I've been to for a very long time. People were dancing, clapping, singing. Wilmington was a nice surprise and I would definitely come to the grand opera house again and again. Wonderful night.

Janice Moon

NOTHING bad can I say about the GRAND. Pick a show and go! I Will add that the ushers and front line ticket takers are not paid staff. All are volunteers with a lot of responsibility for helping to make your evening safe and enjoyable, as well as, doing the same for the guest artists who may dictate how they want the event to go. Yep, this can get confusing, especially when it comes to whether or not you can take pictures or video. THIS IS STRICTLY UP TO THE ARTISTS. Some have been known to say no pictures; then switch up without notice. Who then becomes the spoiler? You got it. So just roll with it. Some folk are going to do what they want anyway regardless. Give the volunteer staff some credit. They really are happy when you are happy.

Melanie Transparenti

Great, small venue to enjoy music.

Trebs Thompson

Beautiful old building, many great shows. This particular night, we were there in the smaller of the two theaters to see the First State Ballet do their production of "Dracula." Great sets, great performance, great venue.

Scott Thompson

Great venue to see a show

J Hickok

I went here to see the Pink Floyd Laser experience (I forget the exact name) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a comfortably equipped venue, the ushers were helpful, and parking was within a block. I would recommend this venue if you see an artist playing there that you'd want to see. It is what you'd call an "intimate" venue.

LaCrisha Harden

This was my first time visiting the Grand. My daughter had her recital. The staffing was amazing.

Brian Blackwell

The Grand Opera House is a great place to go see a concert or a show and the place is very clean and the people are very friendly and it is a nice small venue it don't have a bad seat in the place and I recommend people to go there to see a show and it's close to home.

Michael Kitchens

Nice experience, comfortable setting. Not crowded decent seating. Concession drinks fairly priced.

Bill Wood

Very nice theater for hearing music

Julie Caputo

The Grand is one of the best venues I've ever been to for any performance. They have a great variety of talent from music to comedy, the staff is always friendly and helpful, and there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

Amy M

I hadn't been here since the early 90's on a school trip and I now live two hours away in the DC area. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I went in with an open mind. My boyfriend and I saw Video Games Live and the whole night was absolutely amazing!! There's free parking on Saturdays and Sundays, and there were plenty of spots near the Grand. Will Call was a breeze, the ushers were SUPER helpful and nice, and it was just an all around great venue. We will definitely be back!! Well worth the two hour drive!

Jen Field

Love this theater!! I wish they would play all shows in here instead of the Baby Grand. I wish that the ushers weren't so stuffy and allowed us to take pics, videos, dance. But I still love this venue.

Lori Mansfield

Fantastic place to see singers, dancers and opera. Great staff and a beautiful historical building. Win win

Dean Glines

Great sight lines for most seats. The sound is usually good throughout the house. The acts are not as varied as they used to be (maybe too many options in the area?). There are jewels to be found. Usher staff is friendly and efficient. Box office is hit or miss.

Billie Fannin

First time at this venue. Beautiful theater. Acoustics were great for the group, Home Free. Parking is a challenge. I was an hour early and still had to park 6 blocks away.

Amber Cash

They have music lessons for kids or adults. 25 for 30 minutes. For some reason, they don't advertise this amazing service. My kids have been going here for years. The teachers are great. Facilities are so nice. Scheduling is easy.

Chris Sforza

It's a long drive from the Lehigh Valley but no regrets! A beautiful venue and a fabulous restaurant serving scrumptious and unforgettable meals. The salads, expertly prepared table-side, are unusual and absolutely delicious as are the succulent grilled scallops OMG.

Leslie Gray

This is a fantastic little gem. I've seen everything from children's plays to big name comedians here. Its gorgeous, yet intimate. Fun for a date or with family. Nestled in Wilmington, there are plenty of places to park in the surrounding area.

William Clough

We'll run theater experience. Personable, knowledgeable staff, great decor, and abundant history of the site if you want to know. Modern renovations, but kept the class if the theater I remember as the Lowe's movie theater from back in the day (50s and 60s).

Leslie Peterson

The Grand Opera House is a beautiful & intimate venue. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. We saw two operas: Trial by Jury, & Scalia & Ginsberg, presented by Delaware Opera. I enjoyed both very much. I'm from the NYC area & go to the Metropolitan Opera. I found the production at the Grand not as lavish as the Met, but still very enjoyable & affordable! If you enjoy opera, give Delaware Opera a try.

Cathryn Ortiz (Cathy)

My husband and I saw some bad at the Grand Opry house. She had a wonderful time. The seeding could be better. Not enough leg doing. Other than that, the venue was very nice.

Kathy Caudle

Great place to see an opera!, Especially if you are a newbie! try to sit either in the balcony or the Parquet as the sound will be better. No "sound system" but screens on either side of the stage to "read" the words!. I saw Scalia and Ginsberg and had a blast!

Van-Tam Nguyen

Wonderful historic venue, also home for First State Ballet and Theater. The venue still has the historic decor and atmosphere eventhogh it has been fully renovated and restored. It's a great venue in Wilmington, DE for concerts, theater and Ballet performances.

Susan C

Pleasant venue. The Credence Clearwater Revival show was excellent. The Grand is quaint, clean and inviting. The ushers we're helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the show.

S Taylor

Awesome experience. Beautiful inside. Performances top notch, orchestra top notch, sound is amazing!

Stephen Doggett

Small and intimate there is no bad seat in the theater. The tickets are always reasonably priced and the mix of shows means there’s something for everyone. They have 3 theaters. The baby Grand is the smallest and very intimate every seat is within 30 feet of the stage. Copeland hall is larger, but still intimate. The 3rd is the playhouse which is located in the Dupont hotel. That’s were they show the broadway shows. Why drive to Philadelphia? It much nicer in Wilmington.

Sharon Kinney

They don't have their own parking so you have to walk to/from a parking garage /lot about a block away. It's also difficult for wheelchair accessibility. The stage is visible from almost every seat and the seating is relatively comfortable.

Melissa Armbruster

The staff there were wonderful. Most of them volunteers! The building was clean and the drinks were great!

Eugene Smith jr

It was beautiful,clean, the ushers were polite and very helpful

Megan McDonald

A beautiful historical gem in the heart of downtown Wilmington. The season's shows are varied and entertaining and the staff is friendly and meticulous about taking care of the theatre. The interior architecture alone is worth the visit. Originally built as a Masonic temple and auditorium it boasts beautiful giltwork on the columns and supports and even a fresco painting on the ceiling of its main performance space, Copeland Hall. The Grand contains three performance spaces: the 1,140 seat Copeland Hall, the 305 Baby Grand, and the 1,252 seat Playhouse located in a separate building on Rodney Square previously known as the DuPont Theatre whose construction was completed in 1923.

Victor Elia

Really great place to see a comedian or musician. Really intimate and closer setting compared to most of the other places I have seen comedy shows or musicians. Actually see things you might not get to see elsewhere do its smaller venue. Think Nirvana unplugged with some of the musicians and in your living room with your comedian friend. There are lots of good restaurants/bars nearby. This is one of the few streets that make you glad you are in Wilmington.

Kate Hodges

I love this place so much. Saw David Sedaris for the 4th time there and have seen many music shows at this lovely piece of history and friendly staff.

Sheila Mugabi

No seat is bad. Chance to see Lucinda William's. Great show! Wonderful story teller! Also a talented singer/songwriter!

Liz Escobar-Jack

Beautiful venue, great seating spaces, acustics were excellent for concert we attended. Street parking was available but they also provide a discount for paying at a garage.

Ericha Andromeda

Beautiful, timeless experience each and every time I've been graced to attend. Lorena McKennett, Ani Difranco, George Winston, a private audience-on stage-with-emoty-theatre-backdrop special evening, The Pixies, Sarah McLaughin... I'm anxiously awaiting another performance. This is a diamond in Wilmington and the volunteers working there are lovely.

Rich Clark

Among the finest venues in the midAtlantic states. We've attended everything from symphony to prog-rock to stand-up comedy shows here. No bad seats, great acoustics, wonderful staff and volunteers. Parking is easy and cheap nearby. If an act is playing here, the Keswick, and the Scottish Rite, see them here.

Amanda UmAdam

Came on school trip along with many other schools. All very young children. Staff was very friendly through everything. Very beautiful inside. Clean bathrooms. Comfortable seats. #theater #showtime

Matt Clark

My wife and I have been there many times and have always enjoyed the venue. It's small enough to see well from anywhere, the acoustics are very good.

Dawn Bullock

Saw Popovich's Animal show today! Amazing, Fun and great for all ages! Staff was very welcoming and sweet. Would recommend to Everyone! Thank you!

Gordon H

What a great concert. The Weight Band played two great sets, with the encore being (of course) The Weight. Pic of the set list from the first set, used by one of the keyboardists. Love seeing shows at the Baby Grand.

S V

Quality entertainment for a reasonable price.

iz the truth

Its apart of the legacy of wilmington De, when you sit down in the opera house you can see all of its history in the details on walls and seating, its worth the experience.

Lisa Swain

Saw Queen Live at the Grand last night. Best ever experience there!

The Grand Opera House Is a nice place to visit, if you don't mind leg cramps...even at a mere, 5'4 It was extremely difficult to extend my leg!

Jen T

This is a very cozy, very intimate concert space. I've had the luck to see several events here, all of them equally special. I saw The Nutcracker here on my birthday. I've seen B.B.King on this stage. And I saw my husband graduating from The Delaware College of Art and Design. There is literally not a bad seat in the house, and the seats are so comfortable that it can be difficult sometimes to not fall asleep in them. Outside, as inside, is a most decorated building. The facade is striking and it may take a few minutes to take it all in. The interior is all polished wood. Perfect ambiance for a show.

Ron Brofman
