Reviews of Symphony Hall
Victor Mann
My family and I enjoyed a wonderful evening at Symphony Hall at the performance of the "Nutcracker Ballet," a classic Christmas story. The Nutcracker is loosely based on the Hoffmann fantasy story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, which is about a girl who befriends a nutcracker that comes to life on Christmas Eve and wages a battle against the evil Mouse King.
The Nutcracker turns into a prince and takes Clara on a journey to the Land of Snow, an enchanted forest wonderland where they are welcomed by dancing snowflakes. The performance was wonderful; the dancers and set designs were marvelous, and Symphony Hall is a perfect setting for holiday magic, and the production will leave you with sugar plum fairies dancing in your head. It is important to bring your Covid-19 vaccination card with you, or you will have to take a rapid Covid-19 test prior to entering at a complimentary booth set up for patrons. It took about 15 minutes to complete, and face masks are mandatory as well. Event parking is $15, and the performance is about 2 1/2 hours long.

A great evening. The orchestra was absolutely amazing playing John Williams compositions. Go, enjoy, and hear the auditory satisfaction of the Phoenix Symphony!
Angela F
Wonderful experience last night at the ballet. The production was based on the music of Mexican singer and songwriter Juan Gabriel. I speak no Spanish but you could feel the music. People in the audience were even singing. The choreography was fantastic. You could tell the dancers had fun with this one.

Come see Juan Gabriel it's the best time you'll have all year.you simply must come see the ballet, it's such a beautiful and wonderful experience. The staff , the performer's are all such beautiful and wonderful people , you'll love it. Please make sure to have proof of vaccine or negative test results when seeing the ballet.
Jennifer Grotte
Was easy to park and walk to. When we went in, we knew right where to go. Love when places keep confusion to a minimum! The Nutcracker was performed well and helped get the season started! Would go back again!

The Phoenix Symphony (TPS) is Arizona’s only full-time, professional symphony orchestra and the state’s largest performing arts group. Founded in 1947 as a part-time orchestra in a city of fewer than 100,000 people, the Phoenix Symphony performed at Phoenix Union High School for the first 25 years of its existence. The Symphony came of age in 1972 when it moved into the newly built Symphony Hall and hired Mexico City native Eduardo Mata as conductor.

With my family being big Disney fans, this was top tier performance. My children ages 9 and 11 had a good time. Having watched Coco many times prior, this was as if it was our first time. You were able to better feel the music with the moving. Our family will be looking forward to the next great performance.
Rebecca Pechin
This is a bit pricey as far as things to do in Phoenix but if you live in the area you should at least go once. The music was lovely and a great chance to dress up, but there was definitely a spectrum of how fancy people came. I liked the come-as-you-want attitude. The ushers are so helpful and always seem to treat everyone with kindness. The musicians always seem delighted to perform and their enthusiasm is definitely felt in the music. There's always a few shows a year that are specifically for kids. Those shows are great for the extra giggles and the dressed up kids.
Elizabeth Ray
Such a great first experience! Wish we had known proper dress code! We went for Disney concerts around the world and it was amazing to say the least and my daughter wants to go back and do more events and see the symphony again! She definitely loves the finer things in life!

Very nice atmosphere. Great sight lines from the balcony. Very good acoustics. Easy commute from the West Valley. Knocked off a star because the temperature was uncomfortably warm. People seated all around us agreed (40 or so degrees outside, so maybe they overcompensated), Coffee/Espresso bar was good. However, they needed at least one more barista. Two people could not keep the line moving at a decent pace. Technical effects and lighting suggested that Symphony Hall has excellent equipment - maintained to high professional standards. A tweak of the thermostat would bump up the rating to 5 stars.

This is our new favorite place to go in Phoenix for a good time! We always have something nice to do on the weekends. We love the atmosphere and the people here. Parking is never an issue, either. The Halloween event was amazing! It's nice to have an event that adults and whole families can go all out and dress up for on the holiday without being surrounded by people in extremely inappropriate or grotesque costumes.
Lesley Marshall
Went to our annual Nutcracker performance at Symphony Hall. The decor is so elegant and festive for Christmas. The staff is profession, friendly and courteous. The Nutcracker is so great. The orchestra, costumes, set design and ballet performers are a must see. I have been going for 10+ years.....love it. The venue and downtown in Phx during Christmas makes it special!
Mary Anne Stewart
I just experienced Tosca production this afternoon at Phoenix Symphony Hall. I'm on cloud nine as a long time opera buff. The production was priceless and for only $35 for an excellent seat in the balcony where the music travels to above the seats on the main floor !! 😀
The Hall is beautiful and so comfortable. Excellent design with handy elevators. Parking right across the street from the entrance to the Hall. As an Opera Dame back when in Tucson doing volunteer work (fund raising and refreshments for Green Room during performances) to help develop the Arizona Opera Company, I was amazed how far they've come since the '80's !! Today's performance equaled any Opera I've seen around the world. Even Aida with Pavarotti in London !!!
Rebekah S
My sister and I went to enjoy the Nutcracker from Ballet AZ. The place is beautiful. The play was a masterpiece. My only complaint is that the seats were too close together and the theater was filled with nothing but sick people. There was a medical emergency that delayed the show. Some older person had to be taken out by the Fire Dept. It delayed the show like 20-30 mins.
Susan Gammon
Always a great experience. This time, I invited a friend who has never been to the symphony, so that was fun. We both enjoyed the performance, the atmosphere is cozy, cool (chilly, so plan accordingly), and relaxed.
Richard Hall
Amazing how they all play as one and there's so many of them. It was a beautiful experience. Definitely doing this again.
Annette Grosso
Easily heard and season we're comfortable. I have mobility issues and had to walk on stairs with my walker on arrival. Inside ushers we're kind enough to show me a better way to exit.
Becky S
They always do a great job and I love how they have a varied selections of shows that can appeal to all ages. Last weekend I saw the John Williams performance and a few years ago saw one or two of the Harry Potter movies.
Ashley Abubakari
Amazing performances! Saw Opening Night! for a wonderful date night with my hubby, and took the kids to see the orchestra play the musical score along with the movie Hocus Pocus. Both great nights!
Mike Campbell
Had a good time at the symphony. Very nice theater with comfortable seats. The conductor was very engaging and entertaining. Symphony members sounded wonderful.
James Lingenfelter
Beautiful facility, well organized for the first time visitor. The seating is a bit tight, but the Phoenix Symphony is wonderful. I really enjoyed the entire experience!
Jared Romero
I would give it eight out of five stars. Thank you David for being such a welcoming spirit. It was my first time ever watching Hocus Pocus and now this is the only way I'm able to watch movies. I look forward to coming back to watch Harry Potter and Jurassic Park
Apelila B
I chaperones 4th grade class for the nutcracker. Every kid should experience this. The Symphony was beautiful and well organized. Parking just across the street easy peasy. I'd return for other events.
Trayce De Leon
A beautiful piece of Arizona history that provides some amazing performances. We have been to the Nutcracker and are headed to the opera very soon.
You can park across the street, and there is a Starbucks nearby!
Robert Aiken
Music was excellent, but for a concert geared towards families and children, I would have liked to see more for them in the lobby like they used to have for Disney night. Characters, photo ops, etc.. Perhaps even some vocalists.
Nicole Kridler
I like this venue for different occasions that I've attended such as a concert that the orchestra held or the Arizona Ballet. Beautiful place and the acoustics are great.
The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because after purchasing a beverage or bite to eat you can not bring it into the main hall and their bathrooms are few are far between. The ladies line takes as long as the intermission to get through sometimes. Heaven forbid you have a disability or need to get there in a hurry. If you buy a soda, it comes from a can into a cup and you won't get the whole can's worth and they will charge you five bucks. Not worth the flat, warm soda I got. Yuck. Plus it's Pepsi....😖Other than that, its fantastic. The volunteers are always amazing as well.
Denise Vasquez
We went and saw the Hocus Pocus movie in concert with the Phoenix Symphony it was amazing 👏 🙌 …
Richard Krauss
My family and I attend at least 4 times a year. The artists and orchestra are top notch! Christmas ballets are our favorite!
Shirley Newberry
The concert was NOT nearly as good as years past. The 4 of us that attended were very disappointed. No sing along, very few traditional Christian songs..not at all what we'd experienced in the past.
Ben Cook
We have gone to the holiday pops show for the last 10 years. This years performance was the best by far. Excellent show!
Bryan Jr. Denetclaw
Went and saw the nutcracker there last week and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I rarely go to plays or ballets but this venue was very exquisite with the chandeliers in the lobby and the overall layout of the place. There are ushers that can direct you around as well as some refreshments and wine, depending on the event I guess. My biggest surprise was the seating in the hall itself. The seats are fairly comfortable and wider than most places. (Coming from a BIG and TALL fellow). There's not much more to say this place is nice and pleasant with parking garages not too far away.
Which brings me to my only con.
- No free parking (but you're in Phoenix so no duh)
Overall I am actually excited to book tickets to video game symphony and come back to this place.
Nicole Smith
I enjoyed my first trip to the symphony! It's a beautiful hall, and the performance I saw was wonderful.
However, it was rather warm inside the hall, and I was sweating while sitting in my seat. I am usually cold most places I go. My friend and I spent the entire intermission in line for drinks and barely made it back to our seats in time. There should be more people helping at the bar stations. Having the same person both make drinks and handle money is a bit ridiculous and slow.
I will give it another try based on the quality of the performance.
Cherish Johnson
Absolutely gorgeous inside! The ambiance was outstanding and it is extremely well maintained. If you have the ability to get seats in the very top upper level, that's truly the best. all-encompassing view of the stage. We went to see The Nutcracker, performed by AZ Ballet.
Frank Fillmann
More than I expected AZ Opera really did an amazing job with Tosca this year! Compliments!!
Bob Dalpe
Great experience. As part of a Vettix donation from the Phoenix Symphony, I was able to bring two other USAF veterans to their first Symphony
Monika Piazza
This venue is amazing. No view is bad. There are quite a number of great operas, symphonies, and artists that come through Phoenix and perform here. Don't miss out. It is a pricier venue, but we'll worth it. Treat yourself. There is always a bar open before and during intermission.
Tara Price
Watched the Sleeping Beauty ballet today, and it was wonderful! I took my 3 kids and they were captivated! The costumes, sets, orchestra, props and talent were first class. The staff were friendly and helpful also. It was a wonderful afternoon at Symphony Hall!
Carlos Apodaca
Top notch, concert hall, top notch amenities, top notch beverage selection, top notch CEO, and most importantly - TOP NOTCH MUSICIANS! Thank you Phoenix Symphony Hall for a wonderful show and date night experience for my wife and I.
Siriamar Travels
Very nice performance Juan Gabriel Ballet Arizona. Congratulations!!! I loved the show the place was perfect, clean, handicap accesible.
Evelyn Camacho
Saw the Nutcracker with Ballet Arizona and the Phoenix Symphony and I highly recommend it. It was a beautiful and elegant night.
Laura
Have been here a few times! Here for the FF7 concert tonight and it's so clean and pretty. Employees seem super helpful too. Merch line is absolutely insane though lol.
Deb H
First visit to the Symphony Hall did not disappoint! The facility was clean and well laid out, and the orchestra was incredible! The prices were also very reasonable. We saw the Nightmare Before Christmas, and the orchestra played the movie score while the movie was playing. It was a lot of fun! I can't wait to come see another show.
Andrew DeSantos
I called customer service to try and order season tickets.
I was able to contact someone right before closing and I was able to get the season package I wanted.
Thank you for your help.
I apologize if I sounded frustrated.
The attendant I spoke to went above and beyond and stayed after closing hours to help me with completing a season package I am happy with.
Thank you again for your help and I apologize for the earlier complaint.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Anthony Boswell
What a tremendous venue to appreciate all the nuances and richness of sound every instrument produced during a performance.
I am very excited to attend more events in the future.
Craig Eagle
A brilliant musical night! The concert was just amazing. We will be back again to listen to another great musical journey
Anthony Maiden
We had such an amazing time here! We got to see a production of Midsummer Night's Dream. My daughter wants to make dancing a career,.so I figured she should see what's in her future. If she wasn't hooked before, she's hooked now.
Arius Rainer
Such a beautiful and exciting experience. This venue is so gorgeous and the staff so friendly and eager to help. I will definitely be looking forward to future peformances.
Bearded Traveler
Nice place, staff was very friendly and you can tell it has a lot of history. I am very excited when I see this theater. The parking is very close but it’s a hefty 10.00 if you can’t find street parking.
Leslie Anglero
Beautiful surrounding and pretty easy to find pay for parking at nearby lots. Depending on the performance, it's great for a date or for time with kids. I've been a season Tix holder for a long time as well as have purchased Tix a la carte and have enjoyed both. I've never had a bad seat here or been unhappy with ballet, symphony or opera here. Everything is very well produced and professional. Definitely a great spot for special days.
Jessica Kirsh
I attended the 2018 New Year’s Eve special performance on December 31, 2018. The show was beautiful and this venue is remarkable. I’d recommend building in a Phoenix Symphony performance to any visitor of the city’s plans as well as any/all Phoenix-area residents. You won’t be disappointed.
Magenta Colour
We went for Hocus Pocus. It was fun to go. They had some costume contests and there was a magicians before the show. Adult drinks are available. I'd go again.
Cinder08
Sarah Chang gave a great performance. The entire Symphony was on point! It was a wonderful evening.
Alison C
Saw the Nutcracker last night. Online it said that there would be food and drinks available in the lobby. There were sugar cookies, booze, and coffee. The lobby was too busy. People were having seat ushers take their pictures in front of the big Christmas tree, which clearly wasn't their job, but the line of people didn't care. The show was great, and the symphony was fantastic. Too small of a lobby space for that amount of people.
Vanessa Mills
The Symphony Hall is a beautiful building with great acoustics. The seats are comfortable and the views of the stage are great.
Brian Anderson
The Phoenix Symphony is a great way to spend the evening. The concert hall is an excellent venue to hear classical music.
Brenda Rockafellow
Seating isn't jammed. The acoustics were crisp and clear, not deafening. Navigating to event is not difficult, regardless of current construction, ample parking. Signage is not convenient to actual venue. Pleasant atmosphere.
isaac valdez
This was an amazing experience! This is the 3rd one I have been too, Nightmare before Christmas x2 and now home alone. Next, I hope to see starwars there. The venue is AMAZING, the staff is kind and helpful 110% effort on there part. The symphony orchestra is AMAZING the MC or director is AMAZING he's really good at everything he does there and is funny as well. I would recommend EVERYONE go see a show there and bring the kids. The only suggestion I have is another drink station the lines are a little long during intermission. AMAZING experience every time hands down the best show in town. Thank you Phoenix Sympathy for the experience!
An Sc
I love the vebut but quite honestly this year's Christmas program was not as good as it's been in the past.
I expected much more traditional Christmas music than what there was this year🙃 …
Saif Al-Alawi
I've become a frequent guest at the symphony and it's truly a wonderful place. I always leave motivated to do more and inspired by the energy reverberating in the venue. I occasionally sneak a book in depending on my work load but always get distracted by Tito Munoz as he weaves the orchestra into a cacophony of exuberance. Looking forward to the next opportunity to hear the classics. Art is always a guaranty of sanity.
Andreas Proroczok - W1IXQ
What a beautiful venue. Everybody was so nice and helpful. Along with parking in the Convention Center parking lot, the elevator exits right in the lobby of the Symphony Hall.
Richard Muenchow
Holiday pops are great. I enjoyed the second half, a little more. It was more Christmas hymn music.
rmp5s
Was there for "Escape from Azkaban", first row. Great show! Going to the next one in April, but I got first row balcony tickets this time as first row floor was too close. If you go, get tickets that are back a bit.
Either way, highly recommended!! SUCH a good time!!
Carl Cohen
Wonderful acoustics and the sight lines are set so everyone has a clear view of the stage. We've attended the Nutcracker for over 10 years and have never been disappointed.
Renee R
Symphony Hall is a beautiful concert venue. All of the Phoenix Symphony ticketing staff, ushers, and food cashiers I have come into contact with here have been pleasant. The hall isn’t freezing cold like some venues or movie theatres are. Note that there is not free WiFi available, but I don’t think that’s much of a problem since you really just watch the performance and leave. Just don’t plan on coming super early and getting internet-based work done inside. The food available for purchase inside is limited to “gourmet” chocolate chip cookies, bottled water, coffee, beer, drinks, and wine, so it’s a nice resource but don’t plan on eating dinner while watching the symphony!
Kiwi Bean
Great experience! Everything was easily accessible. I absolutely loved watching Arizona Ballet perform The Nutcracker. The symphony was beautiful!
Lin Cooney
Holiday Pops was amazing! All your favorite songs taken to a whole new level. Absolutely gets you in the holiday spirit!
James Hartley
The shows and site allow for a beautiful experience. The seats are VERY close together. The tickets are kind of pricey. We've paid less for a lot of concerts. This combined with 4$ water bottles, and bottom shelf wine in sample cup sizes for 9$ is a bit excessive. The restrooms were pretty below expectation as well.
Overall we loved the show experiences we've had but the price point is pretty terrible for the experience.
Artice & Tonia Simpson
It was our very first time attending 🙂 The music was so beautifully orchestrated it would have made you cry 😢 It was truly a spectacular event & beautiful orchestra!! The family had a wonderful time!! The staff were very nice & the kiddos got tons of compliments. We will return for another event 😀 …
Phoenix Wombat (#PHXWombat)
Great venue! A lot of room. Good seating all around. Multiple bars.
Petrona Zickgraf
Enjoyed "Coco" the movie, while played by the Phoenix Symphony. What a wonderful experience for the auditory as well as visual senses. Standing ovation.
Faith Leon
Beautiful way to spend New Years Eve. Wishvthe show was longer. Too short, but amazing performance.
Ryan Mirl
Attended the Home Alone screening over the holidays with a group of friends. This was an amazing experience and made for a fun evening out. Highly recommend attending the movie screenings. Definitely on our list for visiting again.
Barbara Parsons
A pleasant experience for all music.
Phoenix Symphony is so great. The sound is fantastic.
Kyle Thomas (KyleConnect)
This is my second trip to Symphony Hall in the last few years and both performances have lifted my spirits. The most recent was a fantastic nostalgic journey into the music of both Star Wars & Start Trek. With the wide range of entertainment choices we have in such a connected world this is a rare treat that is just not the same if not experienced live. There's nothing like great music, intentional acoustics, and fantastic company to make for an amazing evening!
Tiffany Rosenburg
Took a bunch of 4th graders to the ballet and we had an amazing time! Thank you to all of the patient employees who treated us like royalty. The kids really enjoyed themselves and we can't wait to come back. The dancers were fantastic! 4th grade boys are hard to impress and they were talking about the show for the rest of the day. Loved it!
Sharon Murza
I love coming to the symphony no matter the performance. Any seat is great in this hall since it's not too big. You can get a great view and sound from any spot.
Samantha “Sami” Garcia
The facility was beautiful! The ushers incredibly friendly! It wasn't too large that you could really have a bad seat either. It took a little while to find parking but it could have been worse.
Christopher Van Lone
Absolutely incredible. I was not emotionally prepared: the music was sublime. I was in tears, but tears of joy. This was my first time hearing classical music live. Unlike anything I've ever experienced ... and I been to live Nine Inch Nails ... Garth Brooks ... Marilyn Mansion concerts. Even the best digital 24bit recordings pale in comparison to what I felt, the emotion of the live performance tonight, 3-11-2017. I will remember this for the rest of my life; it was truly a profound experience.
Jui Mhatre
Very nice place. I spent last day of 2021 here. Had a great time.
Peter Cooke
Architecture, lobby, seating and accoustics were all fine. Bathrooms could use refurbishment, as fixtures do not reflect the quality of the rest of the venue. Faucets were almost impractically short. Sinks had push-button water on, with about a two second run time. One paper towel dispenser was not working. The performance was very moving!
LIsa Oliver
Wonderful Production of the Nutcracker with the Phoenix Symphony!
Matthew Anvik
Always love coming here. Growing up I had many experiences enjoying the symphony and other performances. Nowadays I enjoy attending all of the ballets from Ballet Arizona. From The Nutcracker to the Grand world premieres, always a great way to dress up and have a night on the town
Teodora Coon
My first time at Symphony Hall was delightfully amazing we enjoyed concert and very surprisely Phoenix Symphony does not just schedule classics concert but modern and all kind varieties I bought my tickets for Star Wars concert months before the app to purchase tickets very friendly at arrival was a piece cake getting the pr in nt tickets just with my name looking forward to another concert
James Robinson
Jackson Browne up close with great seats in one of Arizona’s best concert halls. Cozy and accommodating with one of the very best musical geniuses and lyrical poets performing of our time.
Brady “Dinoboy” Centman
Saw the Jurassic Park Symphony, and it was absolutely spectacular! It was my very first time seeing a live symphony and also my very first time seeing my all time favorite movie on a big screen! The pre-show activities were a lot of fun as well.
Jonathan Fattu
We saw the Nutcracker presented by Ballet Arizona. The seats were close and comfortable throughout the entire performance. The staff were attentive and courteous.
Elizabeth Wilcox
Not a bad venue. Parking for events can be difficult and pricey ($10-12), but there is also a light rail stop close by. I can't say anything regarding the balcony, but the views and sound from the main floor aren't bad.
Nice, wide halls with minimal stairs and readily accessible elevators make navigating to your seat pretty painless (always a plus).
There are two bars in the lobby, where you can order drinks before a performance, and you can order a drink to be available for pickup at intermission as well.
I'd give it 5 stars if I weren't spoiled by the gorgeous venues for symphony and opera back in my home state (Utah's Abravanel Hall and Capitol Theatre are seriously gorgeous).
Jeff Gardner
Saw the Arizona Ballet perform Sleeping Beauty. Amazing dancers and artists. Great performance in a fabulous venue.
Came back to Symphony Hall to watch the Arizona Ballet perform Cinderella and it is awesome. Very talented artists who have worked hard for this beautiful show
Brenda Edge
We had a wonderful time with our granddaughter at the Nutcracker Ballet and everyone was wonderful with her!
The Klam
Awesome concert! So very talented musicians!
Colton W
Overall i had a great experience going to Phoenix Symphony hall. My only gripes were the parking was really slow getting into the garage and there was only one merchandise booth with a line that wrapped halfway around symphony hall. Don't know of that was the venue or the crew for the show I saw that was responsible for those things. I would have spent some money on merchandise but didn't want to wait in that line haha. But it was a fun evening out and the show (Final Fantasy 7 Remake Orchesta World Tour) was outstanding! Very clean and comfortable venue!
Dwayne F. Ross
Wonderful place to enjoy an event of all seasons. Great time watching the AZ Ballet perform 2018 Nutcracker with my daughter.
Bernice Campbell
We saw Sleeping Beauty and it was AMAZING. I brought my daughter, it was our first ballet. We were able to come courtesy of the VetTix organization. I truly appreciate the experience and opportunity to share it with my baby girl.
Cherrie
Love going to the Phoenix Symphony Hall. Wonderful orchestra and good guest singer's! Saw The Tenors there, good show!
Zofia Sells
My daughter and I loved the Nutcracker on Christmas Eve! The hall was decorated beautifully for Christmas. It was raining that day and we were able to have our tickets checked quickly to enter the hall. Hoping to make this an annual tradition.
Shayden Landis
They always have good musicals, this time the Beatles. An awesome show especially with 70+ piece orchestra playing along with the band
B K
Jason Isbell & 400 Unit...great show and the acoustics are fantastic..drinks are not overpriced which you would expect. Overall great place to see a concert.
Rose Wehrenberg
Symphony Hall was great as usual. The Mambo Kings played with the Phoenix Symphony and it was lovely and energetic. Helpful staff and great precautions HOWEVER, there were people behind us who had their masks off almost the entire show and NO staff member said a thing. It was very discouraging.
Tamara Todd
Beautiful building! So convenient only steps away from the light rail. Fortunate enough to sit on the main floor. Acoustics were incredible.
Mark Phillips
We saw Romeo and Juliet ballet. This wasnt really my type of fair but the timing of dance to the symphony and jokes landed well. They did not turn on the A/C and was very uncomfortable. My wife enjoyed the show.
Edward Courtemanche
What a great venue, centrally located downtown fun night out for all.
Courtney Johnson
I took my niece for her first time at the Symphony and it was amazing! We sat front row and it was worth every penny!
Randal Smith
Just saw the Nutcracker. Beautiful set and a lot of talented dancers.
Michael Conley
Very nice production, excellent singers as well, a fun time.
Kim Sullivan
The Phoenix Symphony is something that Phoenicians should support and be proud of. Last night was no exception. As a native Arizonan I am beaming with pride. We had so much fun listening to the music and watching the conductor. If you've never attended a show, you are missing out.
Black Sunshine
Fantastic concert hall. We saw a version where they did a melody of various Broadway hits. It was great. I look forward to hearing another show soon.
Sarah Clinebell
Beautiful venue! Also, very accommodating and helpful staff. An all-around great concert experience.
Cindy Knutson
Attended the ballet. Adequate nothing really impressive to right.
Carlos Reyes
Symphony is all class. Make a night out and enjoy downtown and this is a great date night.
Christian VC (KhrisVC)
Amazing experience. Went to see the Final Fantasy VII Remake orchestra concert and I loved every minute. Great safety guidelines, beautiful venue and awesome staff!
Michael Jordan
While the building was beautiful and the music was good, ushers or whatever you’d like to call them were lazy. We came back after intermission and people were now sat behind us. Someone’s kid kept kicking my chair and their other child kept making noise so my wife and I just left and as we left where were ushers? Sitting on ground right by the door. So glad my night was ruined and money wasted because they couldn’t do their jobs.
Tony Robertson
Enjoyed a wonderful New Year's Eve symphony.
Danica Koestner
Beautiful. Multiple places to park.
Laura Christy
Unable to bring anything other than water into the theater and no food offered.
Dorothea Bowers
Wonderful venue. The ballet was excellent.
Jordan Traywick
Great place to see for the first time final Fantasy distant worlds tour the sound through the halls was truly worth the trip alone if they offered some sort of pillow or something along the line of sitting on would have been nice otherwise still a great experience staff was helpful and friendly
Ken Kulow
Beautiful inside, parking was close by and not too expensive. The acoustics were very good. The staff was attentive and friendly
Don McClellan
We loved the tribute to John Williams
Patty DeBruhl
Tonight's Pops Concert, Broadway Showstoppers, was AWESOME! Performers Hugh Panaro, Anne Runolfsson and Scarlett Strallen along with the fabulous Phoenix Symphony led by maestro Matthew Kasper blew us away!
Eleanor Ayala
I visited this venue for the Arizona Opera. It was very nice, comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend Symphony Hall!!! Side note: I had a great cup of coffee for$3.
Maureen Tolley
Beautiful Hall to see The Nutcracker. We were quickly directed to our seats. The Phoenix Ballet Company put on a beautiful show and we all had a super time.
Rissa V
Wonderful experience! No food, but good coffee drinks and a bar. Seats were comfortable. Performance was spectacular.
Karen Merkley
Beautiful venue and lovely music. I've never been disappointed in nearly 30 years of attendance at the Symphony and have heard/seen everything from Bach to Williams and performances designed for children to the most discerning audiences. Excellent options for anyone who enjoys music.
I am Jim Smith
We loved the live rendition of "COCO" but the bars were severely short staffed and they lost out on a lot of patrons buying. The lines were really long and they only had one very slow person working. When they gave the warning the show was to start, more than half the line left. I was at the front by that time so I stayed. Seriously, add another tender and you'll sell more items.
Mary Kellerman
Wonderful evening spent at the holiday concert last night.
Tara Short
Love seeing ballets here! Always a fun time
Peggy Askins
Beautiful! We enjoyed the Nutcracker performance!
Kathleen Tubbs
First time back in almost 2 years and it was a great show! Phoenix has a first class orchestra and the guest vocalists were superb.
cque Gonzales
Absolutely beautiful venue. My hubby and I saw Distant Worlds for the first time here and it was exciting. Such a wonderful experience. My only complaint would be I wish more people worked the gift shop so they could get through more people making memorabilia purchases. We waited almost an hour in line and still didnt get a chance to make a purchase because it was time to take our seats, since the doors would be closed and we wont be able to get in until the conductor starts talking or there is a break in music.
Mariam Valdespino
Never been to this place but I was impressed very nice, clean but needs more bathrooms. I enjoyed the Star Wars Symphony had never seen one in person only in the behind the scenes clip. Loved plan to attend on my own this time went with the Salt River Seniors👍. …
Anthony Kern
I love attending performances here. The staff are very friendly and always so helpful. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the air conditioning in the auditorium. It is always so warm in there. I think the last performance I attended, someone passed out because of the temperature.
Mark Phillips
Saw Abba and Phx Symphony.
Great show.
CJ Wren
Such a great theater - so lucky to have such a great venue in the middle of Phoenix. Phoenix Symphony is World Class!
AJ Ryan
A decent hall, overall the acoustics are good, the venue is just visually a little dated. It's not a bad place to visit and hosts a good variety of events regularly, but if you are looking for a really decorated or historic site, this might not be it. The seats are not heavily tiered and the spacing of them can lead to you being unable to see good portions of the stage depending on who is in front of you as some seats are placed almost directly behind the seat in front of it rather than having equal staggering. All in all it is a decent location, but not the best in the city.
Adrienne Speer
My daughter and I see the Nutcracker every year, and we love it. It is kid friendly and beautifully done.

The venue is pretty and the acoustics are great. I sat in the balcony on the side isle and heard every instrument in the orchestra. The view of the bassists was slightly blocked but I prefer to listen with my eyes closed half the time anyway. It really makes my hearing come to life, which is so cool with big band music!
Marcus Soto
Went to see the nutcracker. Great experience!

11Mar22 Update: attended Broadway Showstoppers - 3 great vocalists and fantastic music performed by the orchestra as always. The Phoenix Symphony staff has adapted very well to the added requirements for the COVID-19 environment.
Dec 2019: Once again another great Holiday Pops concert. The Phoenix Symphony orchestra has a fantastic group of musicians. The conductor was very enthusiastic and the orchestra performed with tremendous energy under his direction. They had an excellent selection of music and two great vocalists who worked well together. They each sang a couple of solos with incredible intensity!
Monica Roncancio
My first experience at Symphony Hall was as epic as the movie the orchestra accompanied today. The movie was Star Wars: Episode IV, the venue was absolutely stunning, and the experience was unforgettable.
Nestled in the heart of downtown, Symphony Hall boasts a lovely, perfectly acoustic auditorium that made me forget about being in the desert. From the architecture outside to the wood paneled walls inside, every detail speaks of elegance.
Although we dressed up for this occasion, many others were just as comfortable in anything from casual clothing to movie-themed costumes. The bar offered an assortment of drinks which were enjoyed during the program and there are ample options nearby (within walking distance) for both food and drinks.
A parking garage is situated directly across the street, which is incredibly convenient but I would suggest arriving an hour earlier and bringing a good amount of patience if you plan to take advantage of it.
Overall, whether you've planned a date or are looking for a unique experience with friends or family, I highly recommend attending any of the shows hosted at Phoenix Symphony Hall. Enjoy!

Got to listen to the music of Led Zeppelin. Was absolutely great!
The bathrooms were spacious and clean. The staff here was absolutely polite. I would be happy to go with friends or family again. There is plenty of parking at the near by garages down town.
Lourdes M. Nieto
Great place and wonderful performance
Tom Peiffer
Went to see the Nutcracker performance with Ballet Arizona and the Phoenix Symphony. Wonderful evening. Nothing beats totally live performances in this venue.
KE L
We have been twice now and they always put on a wonderful show the kids loved Coco! Grateful for whom ever donated the tickets to Vet Tix!

The first time I've ever been to a live orchestra. They played along to Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas. One of the best shows I've seen. I feel all movies should be experienced like this. As for the building itself it was nice an clean so were the restrooms. Drinks were sold from water to soda an alcohol. The staff was helpful an courteous. One little flaw is the seats are alil narrow, so big boned people will be somewhat uncomfortable.
Nae S
This was my 3rd visit to Symphony Hall and it was awesome! My boyfriend and I went to see the live performance/screening of the movie 'Home Alone.' It was so cool how the music of the orchestra was perfectly synched with the screening of the film! Little did I realize that a whole choir was awaiting their queue behind the screen as well! This was my boyfriend's first time at the Symphony and he was mostly impressed with the fact that the original composer directed this performance. There's really no such thing as a bad performance at Symphony Hall, but this one stands as my favorite thus far. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I look forward to attending more performances in the future. :)
Don Lant
Great venue for a concert. We had balcony seats and the sound and show was excellent.
James Chalifoux
Beautiful venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Great acoustics.
Orleta Slick
Outstanding! Very entertaining. Would watch again.
Anthony Payne
Great experience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Easy parking around the hall with plenty of places nearby to grab a bite before the performance.
KC Kwa
A great night out watching one of my favorite movies with the live orchestra. Such a unique and amazing experience that I would recommend to everyone. Being able to watch your favorite movie and here the score live is such a unique experience and I will definitely be going again.
Ms Travel
The orchestra was wonderful. They played Beatles songs. They had social distancing rules, so we felt ok about being there.
Rebecca Butler
Very nice venue with great concerts. Lots of Pop concerts that are great for families.
Annie McCall
Lovely place. Clean. Friendly staff. Saw ballet here and it was excellent. Parking garage easy, right next door.
Glenda Woodard
Took my oldest daughter to the Symphony and had a wonderful time. The Hall is beautiful! It is smaller than others I have been to, but the sound is excellent and there really is no bad seat in the house.
Dustin D
Absolutely amazing show! Great place. Not a bad seat in the entire place. The closest parking garage was $12 and we paid with a debit card, I think they accepted cash also. Also, there is a loading zone for handicap/elderly. I highly recommend visiting this venue
Marys tucker
Had a great time at the Nutcracker. Symphony Hall was easy to get to and the staff were a lot of fun. Orchestra seats are not staggered so if you are short it is hard to see when a taller person is in front of you. Otherwise all is good!
Shawna T
Very nice facility, the foyer all the way to the s to the stage view. Balcony seats can see the stage clearly also.. All of the employees were happy and helpful. Friendly ppl handing out playbills and programs as you enter. Really enjoyed the performance and the visit with our family. We will be returning again for more shows!
Joe Whitfield
Saw the Nutcracker with Ballet AZ. The facility is very nice. Unfortunately, the orchestra got COVID, so the ballet danced to a recording.
Samara Silva
I attended the Nightmare Before Christmas event with my husband for his birthday. It was a captivating experience. My husband absolutely enjoyed watching the orchestra play along to one of his favorite movies. Thank you to the Symphony Hall and all that it does.
Christopher Ignace
Always a great time... the orchestra is good, the solo artists are virtuosos, the venue is enjoyable. The mix is often contemporary/abstract and classic/melodic. An opportunity for broadening taste in a way. Highly recommended.
Alexander Vallar
There isn't a bad seat in the house! During my visit I purchased a seat in the last row of the balcony and still enjoyed the show. Champagne was even given to all the attendees of drinking age. The energy brought by the performers was great and brought the entire crowd to their feet.
Monique King
Went to see the star wars concert, very cool! The symphony played while the movie played...fantastic family friendly performance. The music was phenomenal and The price was very reasonable. Staff was extremely helpful.
vikirdh1 H
It's ok. My first time there. The seats weren't steep enough to see over the people in front of you. I saw the Nutcracker, not my cup of tea either. The ballet while beautiful, for me seems repetitious in nature. I could have seen act 2 and been happy. 105.00 for a ticket, not for me again!
Rose Arvizu
First time, beautiful huge place 😍 …
Lavi Schechter
Such a beautiful venue. Well maintained and up to date with the latest sound technologies. The acoustics carried really well across every section and I felt very much in the thick of things. Phoenix is not as well known as SF, NY, Chicago in terms of music, let’s be real, but this is a beautiful place to spend an evening!
Frank Tedesco
What a place! Marvelous seating, no matter where you are. Acoustics and sight lines are terrific. We saw Swan Lake, and it was sumptuous, with the best dancing this troupe has ever put forward. If you have seen The Phoenix Ballet in some of the free park settings they put on in the Fall, seeing them in a First Class theater will KNOCK YOU OUT.
Jonathan Coffey
Wonderful show! Awesome venue. Great staff. Ok drinks. We went for the NYE showing and had a great time. No matter where you sit you can enjoy the sound of the music perfectly. The show was entertaining and a lot of fun!
Robert Kirkpatrick
I have been coming here for nearly 30 years. It hasn't changed a bit in my memory, but it certainly doesnt look aged or worn down at all. This is the place to go to see the symphony, the Opera, the ballet, and more.
I was able to help get my nephew into the arts by taking him to see the Empire Strikes Back with the score played by the symphony. They do a great job is appealing to everyone from all walks of life.
Ian Blew
Symphony Hall is almost a truly magical place. The symphony itself is amazing! The hall is very beautiful. However, the seats are far too narrow. So much so that slightly overweight people should expect to be extremely uncomfortable, and the 50+% of Americans who are obese should just stay home.
Linsey Heermans
The performance we saw is not under review here, so I will note just the venue. They were not equipped to deal with crowds with very few staff assisting people to seats, it became very congested. One patron got into a screaming match with another, yelling profanities at what should have been a high class evening performance, yet no repercussions happened and the offensive woman was allowed to return despite behavior that would have has her removed from a wrestling match. Another patron fainted, falling to the ground and there were no staff in sight for what seemed like an eternity to handle the situation. Thank goodness for the performance itself being exquisite as to overshadow the poorly managed and tended-to clients.
Valerie O'Connell
We have seen some amazing musical performances at this venue. My favorite are the recent trend to play the score of a film while the film plays over the stage. Such an engaging way to enjoy a night at the symphony!
Thomas Dyre
The Empire Strikes back concert was great. The seats could use some updating. It was like sitting in a high school auditorium. The sound in the hall was exceptional. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restrooms clean.
Zeheria Zan
Great venue! The sound quality was amazing for the Legend Of Zelda Symphony of the Goddess concert. The venue was very clean and spacious. There were sooo many seating options and the prices for the concert were affordable and manageable. I had a wonderful experience here and I want to return in the future for other concerts and engagements.
Haile S
Excellent performance when I went to see the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds Concert! The orchestra did an excellent job (music sounded just like the soundtrack!) and the staff was helpful in getting us to our seats. Definitely plan on coming back for future performances!
Alice Deasy
First time going to an Opera and we saw Carmen! Best time ever and made new friends. Greatest experience of my life!
Michael Schenck
Three sounds coming from the performance is wonderful and the hall is beautiful.
Jack Pollock
The venue is very clean and easy to navigate, and the Symphony Orchestra is wonderful as always!
Dwayne Nelson
Holiday Seasons ~🎄🎄 Great Location and Upcoming Repertoire ☕🎼🎵☢️✳️ …
Stephanie Thomas
Took my loving mother to see The Nutcracker. The show was fantastic, with wonderful costumes and amazing sets. Cannot leave the theater to use restroom during the show or you will not be allowed to return to your seat.
Zoran Jovanovic
I went and saw a violin concerto here and it was truly a magnificent experience. The seating is set up well, comfortable, and the acoustics are simply just done right. If you ever have the time and a little bit of spending cash, it is definitely a worthwhile experience.
Kathryn Clark
Attended the Sunday Jurassic Park show and it was fantastic! Very kind staff and lovely venue
Michael Taube
Beautiful space, comfortable seating. Great location. Easy access. My only beef with symphony hall is that there are dead spots from an audio perspective. If you sit in the first few rows in the center, you can't hear very well. Likewise if your sit on the sides, you can't hear very well. And the side speakers block the view of the stage of you're seated in there sides in the first dozen or so rows
Travis Johnson
Star Wars-A New Hope, an incredible experience! The movie is played from a projector above the orchestra, the score of the movie has been removed, so only movie sounds and dialogue is played. The subtitles are present which is a nice addition to the experience. The orchestra plays the score live, and they do an incredible job with entire movie. The credits is the best part of movie! Great for kids to instill an appreciate for fine arts combined with the cinematic experience. Can't wait for Empire Strikes Back! Also saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Highly recommended experience! Balcony seats are the way to go to see the orchestra.
Corey Stillwell
This is an amazing hall!they put on some of the best shows that I have seen. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! The place is very clean and modern. The seating is nice, there aren't so many seats that even if you are in the back you can still see well! I would highly recommend this place for a romantic date night or a fun family outing!
Rod Ibieta
Good acoustics, comfortable seating. Great venue for acoustic music. Easy parking nearby
Dale Eagar
I visited to take in performances by Ballet Arizona. The venue is beautiful, easy to get to and easy to get around inside. Parking is available nearby and dining options are as well. I rated four stars as entry and egress could have been designed better. Not bad but not great.
Roy L Carrington Jr.
We love coming here for these! The music is so perfect you forget you're at a live performance.
Donald Sullivan
I very much enjoyed my trip down to Phoenix to watch a live performance by the Texas Tenors. A very great afternoon. Although the venue doesn't guarantee a great performance, it sure helps the total experience. The Phoenix Symphony Hall is indeed a fine facility
That was my first visit and I was very impresses!
Emmanuelle Caumont (Ask Frenchie - Realtor)
Amazing symphony Hall Orchestra tonight showing off the Beatles' genius vocals , strings, percussions orchestrations. It left us speechless! We love the venue! Easy parking, check in, exiting, great view of the stage anywhere you sit, Amazing sound quality.
Brenda Van
I love symphony hall's ballets. Tickets are clearly labeled in alphabetical order before showtime. Parking was closed directly across the street but the shows themselves are spectacular. The orchestra does a beautiful job. The Nutcracker is the best!
Jennifer Kremer
Great concert hall. The Phoenix symphony is way underrated and a bargain for concert goers. Nice selection of wine and cocktails available. Worse seats for sound are under the balcony. Dress should be smart casual, leave the shorts at home and are there really dress jeans?
Jessica Furubotten
We seen the Nutcracker tonight. Our tickets were so close that you could hear their slippers when they danced and when they did the Waltz of the Snow Flakes, a snowflake fell in my lap. They sold drinks before the ballet and they were delicious.. What a great time. Merry Christmas!
Carpincho
It's a nice concert hall but very cold environment, interesting programing most of the time, stiff and very conservative place not a people oriented type of theatre, personnel were guarded and distant I attended the concert accompanied by my seven year old son It was interesting to observe some of the attendees and employees trying hard to read me because of being with a seven year old child it might appear to some of them that I might had come from some far away galaxy. A more casual and friendlier setting would attract a more diverse and younger audience. Let's remember that art is an human spiritual expression based on freedom conservatism is the antithesis of it.
Good experience after all.
michael williams
Had a gorgeous evening at the Harry Potter live Symphony event.
Samuel Sillas
Went to see the Phoenix Symphony and it was an amazing experience. Seating is not the best considering the amount of time you will be sitting there but can't really complain. Staff is very knowledgeable and drinks are reasonably priced for the venue. Would recommend to anyone.
Joe Previte
Loved the venue! Came here to see the Nutcracker and had a lovely experience. The lights, the stage, the way they change the scene, the sound - all of worked so seamlessly together.
Thomas Roskos
Only and best venue to see the nut cracker
Diana Haselmyer
I didn't go through the whole place or probably would've given 5 stars. But it is a beautiful and roomy theater with great audio sound. It's right along the lite rail train system, but I don't know about parking for cars.
Ikayuro
Gorgeous theater! Saw Distant Worlds here; I highly recommend it!
Carisa Ham
Amazing experience! I have always loved the symphony. This night our daughters were able to experience the magic of music being made before their very eyes. Our oldest is now interested in music at school.
Cindy Crockett
We went to see the nutcracker and while the performance was really good, symphony hall might not be the best location for it. The seating in the $75 seats is terrible, not enough of a gradient to see over people's heads. My sister in law barely saw any if the performance due to where her seat was located. I got lucky and the people in front of me leaned to each side so I could see decently, but had they sat normaly, I wouldn't have been able to see either. It was disappointing.
Anne Wenk
For the first time I wasn't freezing. The ballet was excellent tho the first act was kind of slow more like a play without words. We saw Napoli, it was a mixture of modern and classical ballet. The score did about put us to sleep and I think that went for the entire audience as a third were lined up for coffee at the intermissions. Some of the soap dispensers didn't work in the women's bathroom on the far side and water sprayed everywhere in the sink.
Kathy Miller
A very enjoyable afternoon. The Hall itself has been well maintained, as lovely as ever. It has been a few years since I have seen it and it was a pleasure to be back. Lots of wonderful memories from the 80s and 90s when we attended often.
Gabby Master
The hall is a great way to explore a different type of music. I went to a show when the symphony played broadway hits (which was amazing). The performance was incredible, the symphony is so talented, and the acoustics of the hall made the sound soar.
LeAnne
Ok... beautiful place but restrooms?! A packed house with a 15min intermission and 2 bathrooms? By the time I got done I couldn't even get a coffee. If it's a busy night properly staff the place! The watch dogs were a plenty but the servers were few.
Janet Jablonski
Every seat was a good seat, but I wish there was more leg room. For the price of the ticket, I thought the show, under the lamp post, should of been a outstanding group. Wouldn't go back. The parking was a bear. Sound was good.
Nicole Kearn
Loved the nightmare before Christmas show! The conductor was so fun! My kids were amazed and my husband didn't fall asleep....hahahaha... Could use a few more bathrooms but other than that a pleasant evening was had by my family!
Jeff Kastner
Home of the marvelous Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, the facility is spacious, modern, and welcoming. My personal tastes run more towards their Pops concerts, but the Classical concerts I've been too have been outstanding as well. Have even seen a couple of operas there. First class venue and operation...highly recommmended.
Wendy Lundin
Wonderful experience. Very enjoyable. A good way to get introduced to the Symphony.
Sylvia Lemmons
Symphony Hall always seems to have an air of relaxation surrounding it. Helps to enjoy being there
Jordan Abner
The Christmas Pops concert today was amazing and a great way to ring in the Christmas and Hannukah holidays!
Wayne MacKenzie Sr
The group preforming was young. Not bad at all and several notable moves with better coordination in the first act than the second. YouTube puck was what I came to see but the gentleman who performed was definitely one of the most refined/talented dancers , which is as it should be.
Cameron Shaffer
Great shows, saw both the Nightmare Before Christmas and the Order of the Phoenix. Very well rehearsed, both conductors were professional and fun. Music done so well I almost forgot it was being performed live at times.
Adele Harper
Great experience seats were good. We haven't been in a long time so we had many questions. Husband on a walker and they addressed this easily. Handicap parking was close and convenient show was great! We can't wait to try it again
MotoDoc ADV
It's so great to know that Phoenix has such a talented symphony orchestra. This season we'll be able to hear them perform most of Beethoven's greatest works in celebration of the 250th anniversary of his birth. What a great opportunity to learn about and hear the genius of Beethoven's gift to us all.
Zofia Sells
Had a beautiful time at our first ballet with my 4 year old. She loved it!
Rebecca Martinez
The Phoenix Symphony is amazing! The musicians are tremendous and the performances are breathtaking! Please support this medium! 💖 …
Juan Orocio
Really enjoyed watching Video Games Live in this venue. I did took a sometime to find parking for symphony Hall. Staff was incredibly helpful finding my seat. Unlike finding a parking spot, finding my seat was simple and easy. I would gladly reccomend anyone coming here and i will definitely return.
Chrissie Savage
The Tenors performance was captivating, scintillating and the resonance of the voices purely sensational! We were all popping out of our seats, giving the artist standing ovations.
But please oh please get platforms for the orchestra! I feel it is disrespectful to all the musicians in the orchestra to not be able to see them. When you have a personal experience with the people in the orchestra, because you can see them, it helps you become interested in each and every player!. Taller and more complete platforms would be a huge plus for the audience and all the people in the orchestra!
Also, how about interviewing two or three of the orchestra members and give us a little bit more personal history on them?
Thanks!
Philemon Spencer
This music hall has great acoustics, and easy layout. Seating is well marked, and visibility of the stage is good. We've enjoyed a wide variety of programs here.
David Williams
It's a great place to see a Fine Art event the valley. It has large hallways that makes it easy to move people in and out. Good Sigh-lines and acoustics even from the balcony. I love to watch the Arizona Opera at Symphony Hall.
Jay Bodam
Fun experience, great music, nice seats. Down town Phoenix is kinda fun to see on a Sunday afternoon. Will go back again!
Topher Daniel
"Jurassic Park in Concert" was a beautiful and very entertaining event. I absolutely loved it.
Jon Schmidt
Went here and enjoyed the Phoenix ballets rendition of the Nutcracker suite, something that has become a bit of a tradition for me and my friends.
Lia Smith
Went to the symphony and Opera over the summer. Both shows we're spectacular. The stage looked small when I saw the symphony but it looked massive during the Opera (possibly because the set). The whole facility is gorgeous!
Pratik Bhagwat
Great place with a nice ambience. Well diagonally aligned seats preventing the person in front of you blocking your view.
I was there for Phoenix Symphony's Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban live in concert, and I must say, I have never ever enjoyed any movie as much as this. Now I am attending pretty much every Harry Potter movies these guys air! Looking forward to attend other events too (Beethoven, Star wars etc)
Zane Bartlett
Symphony Hall remains one of the best locations to listen to live music in the valley. Lately, the Phoenix Symphony has done a great job at inviting well-known musicians to perform with them.
The location is easy to get to, even for those who are not familiar with the Phoenix area. You can ride the light rail and easily walk if you want to avoid city traffic.
Nick
As always it is a fantastic experience! I have been many times and love the performances! Such talent! Everyone is helping is so kind! I cannot wait for my next symphony!
M Tim
Took my boyfriend to see the harry potter live musical. It was amazing. Boucany Sears and could still see and feel apart of it. Comfort and clean. Drinks a bit pricey. Downtown so easy access to do other things as well.
Josie Barron
Went on a school field trip the staff made sure everything was organized as far as seating. The symphony was very good and entertaining! Def 5 stars and a round of applause.
Eleanor Willow
Beautiful concerts, but the seats are cramped. I wish the people in the hall didn't take so long to order refreshments. Can't you do something to move them along or have expediters? I don't want to be late, and I know what I want. Maybe an express line for people who are ready?
I wish the books for the shows weren't just ads. Put in song titles, lyrics, more about the story.
Shawna L
I went this past weekend to see Harry Potter in Concert (Prisoner of Azkaban). It was absolutely amazing! My family had a great time at Symphony Hall. I definitely want to go back to see other concerts.
Carl Will
Always a great experience! This time we opted for the cheap seats...bad idea! Although their location was fine... The seat was narrow and very uncomfortable. Others around me were complaining of the same thing.
Music and experience were tremendous!
Gabriel Bey
My first visit to Ballet Arizona's "The Nutcracker" with the Phoenix Symphony and what a performance. The facility was acoustically wonderful and the artist were at their best. Must return for other events.
naomi van liew
The atmosphere, quality of performances, and especially the musicians themselves are excellent, articulate, entertaining and professional in every sense. The variety offered includes classical, pop, vintage, opera, and often includes very talented young performers from ASU and other local artists. Very thankful
Sarah Elizabeth Attebery
I just love going to the symphony Hall! This time we went and saw Nightmare Before Christmas. The conductor was very fun and the orchestra was amazing. I've never been disappointed coming here.
Erik McCauley
Went here for new years eve. They had a special event that was non traditional playing all sorts of fun songs including tv show themes and hit songs. Such a dynamic group of musicians and they served complimentary champagne. Had a blast, worth a trip.
Jessy Aragon
The phoenix symphony hall, been here once to preform in a choir with GCU. It was amazing and the atmosphere was great during the Christmas holiday. The restrooms were clean and significantly stunning. They had many mirrors and the stairs were covered in carpet. Nice place to relax and enjoys the musical arts and preformances.
Anthony Xavier
You do not need to rush the door to get in. Its assigned seating. Relax, enjoy the moment. Star Wars a new hope, it was well played, but the sound efx and overall dynamics is lost. If you compare it to going to a theater. The performance was spot on.
Jeff Phillips
First time ever! Really great performance. And Star Wars!
Isabel Torres-poland
Mr and my family had a wonderful time
Ivan Racic
Art is foundation of sanity. It unites and abridges differences. Great place....
Chris Crain
The staff and volunteers are friendly and helpful. Restrooms are nicely laid out. The exits from symphony hall are not as easy to use as they used to be, however, and it often takes a lot of time to leave.,
bea anthony
The room acoustics make you work for it. Went to the NYE show. Sat in the back of Section A, directly in front of what I think is the sound booth. Disappointed in the sound. Overall sound level was very low, and had no detail by the time it reached my seat. None of the individual instruments were discernable in most pieces. A sax player AND a trumpet player had a solo in the same piece, and no one clapped at the end of either, because you literally could not hear anything they played. It really takes you out of the experience because the performance sounds very distant and uninspiring. I have no doubt the players are very accomplished, but the sound really doesn't do them justice. Maybe I'm in the minority.
Laura Botkin
Beautiful venue! Saw the symphony performing West Side Story. The sound was great even in the balcony. The bathrooms could use some remodeling though!
Rindi Ross
Went to a symphony were they played the music live while the movie was projected. Amazing idea! Didnt like how few bathrooms and concession locations there were for intermission, super long lines.
Jerry Avanzino
Always a great pleasure going to the Phoenix Symphony on New Years Eve! Leslie Odom put on quite an amazing show.
Peter Lausberg
Jehovah's Witnessess had an evening gathering there tonight. The facility is spacious, clean and easy to orient yourself in. Staff are helpful and patron aware. The quality of fixtures, fittings and equipment are to an excellent standard. Decor and design appealing and contemporary.
Paria Pourmalek
Genius meets passion was great performance!
Craig Tee
We've attended the Phoenix Symphony twice now and expect to make this a habit. They never fail to put on a dynamite performance no matter what the program matter.
We missed the recent Harry Potter concert, but not out of choice. Last night was Brahm's First and WELL worth the trip to Symphony Hall.
I would like to thank the Phoenix Symphony for their willingness to share the experience via their ticket donations to the veteran's organizations. It is greatly appreciated.
Lucinda Lacy
We prefer the Arizona ballet's performance of The Nutcracker. This is a Christmas tradition for my daughter and I, and now my granddaughter. Symphony hall is so elegant, it's very much a part of the performance. I highly recommend.
Jocelyn Cohen
I've been going here for years for the Nutcracker ballet. I adore it! The stage is visible from every angle, staff is polite and the café is surprisingly organized!
Melanie Johnston
Wonderful concert venue
Anes Hawro
We absolutely loved Harry Potter concert. Amazing experience.
Grace Ramsey
The Phoenix Symphony is a fantastic performing arts group you should 100% support! The arts only survive if we are their patrons.
That being said, the symphony hall itself is a pretty spectacular venue, although its aesthetic perhaps dates it to the same era as the FBI building! Bathrooms are updated and very clean. The typical attire ranges from snappy casual to semi-formal. A polo and dress pants or "church clothes" are a good call if you want to fit in. The drinks (both alcoholic and non) are pretty good, though the chai tea latte is made from powder, in case you're as snobby about those as me! They do allow you to take drinks, but not food, into the concert hall.
The one critique I have is the speed of service: it seems like the symphony routinely hires retirees that don't quite understand how their registers or drink dispensers work. There are routinely long lines for drinks before the performance and during intermission, and they often move at a crawl. My advice is to use their pre-order service for intermission: find the most competent looking bartender and join their line before the show starts, and tell them you are pre-ordering and paying for intermission. Your drinks are set on the counter for you with your name when you get out!
Jay F
My first time and it was a truly amazing experience. Loved how everything sounded amazing no matter where I was. The conductor was one of the most entertaining I've encountered in many years.
Jahaziel López
I love this place, the quality of the Hall makes the music sounds great.
Malak Ada
Came here for the Star Trek vs. Star Wars symphony during ComicCon. The conductor was charismatic and took the time to explain each piece and what was most interesting about it musically to an audience that was probably visiting the symphony for the first time in their lives! The music sounded amazing, and I cried more than a few times. Can't wait to go again.
charys sandowich
Amazing show today ! Beautiful 💚 …
Sunny J
We love to come when the symphony shows movies! We've attended Star Wars: ANH and Nightmare Before Christmas. The symphony does an amazing job and it's a great opportunity to see these shows on the big screen.
Bailey
I got to see the Mcelroy brothers here live for the first time ever. This theatre is absolutely gorgeous. There's an in-house bar, too. My only complaint is that the merch stand operators only had one credit card reader between them, and it was one they had brought themselves. I don't remember if there was an atm in the theater, but I don't think there was. This is a problem, because my best friend and I could've gotten signed posters, had we not realized one of the lines was cash only.
Gary D
Awesome performance of the Jurassic Park soundtrack! First time at the Phoenix Symphony! Will be back!
J Gowen
I think if you're at play or ballet, or whatever it is there, and you're really interested in looking at the costumes, try to sit somewhere between row 17 and 5. I was at the Sleeping Beauty ballet and the costumes were beautifully ornate, you had to see them up close. I don't care if you're sitting on the side in rows 5 through 17 you're close enough to see the costumes and I don't think there's too bad of seats anywhere. My caveat is, if you want to look at the costumes sit in those rows. Otherwise, if it's just the symphony and you just want to hear the music and being engrossed in it, any seats are fine.
For those of you that go, please go to the counter and pre-order your drink before you go in for the intermission. These poor people wait in lines that are 50 people deep and there's no way they're getting there. Show up early, pre-order your intermission drinks before you go in... takes only a few seconds and it's worth it. You walk out during intermission, walk up to the counter where you pre-ordered, look for your name, grab your drinks and you're good to go. Don't forget to tip your bartender!
Sara Arroyo
The sound is beautiful! Very well designed musical space. Accessible and every seat looks like a good one. Friendly Staff and nice bar!
Stephen Autieri
Great hall, not all events are on their website though. Not sure why. Everything was ultra clean.
Dave Brian
It's always a most relaxing or exciting experience at the Phoenix Symphony. Comfortable seating, one of the best in the valley. True, I'd go just to sit down and relax! It's a small detail but, it's not. Great seats!

Acoustics are great in this location. It also holds a great many of people rather comfortably. Parking at or near this location I would not say is preferable. And very clean, and neat.
Sydney Dudikoff
Not enough words to describe the eloquence snd beauty of attending The Nutcracker Ballet. Saw it twice!!!! Loved it. If anyone wants to start a Christmas Tradition, this is it. Volunteers and staff are stupendous.
Christopher Richard
We went to see "Home Alone" played with the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. As this was our first symphony to attend, I have to admit the music was perfectly synchronized to the movie. Throughly enjoy the evening.
Jeannette Yarrow
There were many friendly staff members with a beautiful space. The productions are spectacular with elaborate sets, costumes, and performers! A great experience overall
Denise Kelter
It was wonderful, went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with a live Orchestra and it was great a most do. For all you Harry Potter fans another one in November. Don't miss if.
WillfromBrazil de Carvalho
Lovely room, everyone is always friendly and welcoming. Shows are always great. Seats are good but I wish they were a little more comfortable.
Jared Wagoner
Great place to go on a date night. No expectation to be super-dressy. I usually have a collared shirt and wife wears a dress. Just sit and enjoy the music!
Drew Marschand
Nice venue, not really a bad seat in the house.
Mo Islam
I loved the show, but they managed everything like a good chaos. And good thing it was raining, making the chaos more chaotic.
Rebecca Martinez
Classical music is not just for old people. The Phoenix Symphony is brilliant!! The sheer talent and exuberance that these musicians have is beyond explanation. You must experience the culture of classical music for yourself, no matter your music preferences, how old or young you are, what your background is, if you have any appreciation for music whatsoever then you owe it to yourself to attend at least one Phoenix Symphony event in your life! Also for newcomers, you don't necessarily clap when the music ends so just take your cues from the rest of the audience. And for the "regulars" if people clap when they're not supposed to, chill out. It's the newcomers that will keep the symphony alive for years to come after you're long gone! Please make them feel welcome!
Courtney Schuh
I wish they would spend 5 minutes talking about the music. I was impressed with the experience of seeing Harry Potter but would have loved just a little bit of time spent on education about the symphony before the movie.
Don Nakano
An ideal venue for enjoying the amazing Phoenix Symphony. The acoustics are superb. Many great places to eat within a few minutes walk. Parking is expensive, as it is everywhere downtown.
Chris Jackson
The audio mixing is pretty poor, they have such an amazing set up and a large budget but all the sounds come from the front so it all sounds mono level. Also low production value, make more of an event of it. Lobby entertainment like an open piano would be nice. They didn't let me look at the house booth.
James Angle
Nutcracker was excellent and Final Fantasy Distant Worlds was amazing. The venue is always clean and staff are very friendly. Perfect ac temp too
Laila Stene
Ballet Arizonan's presentation of the Nutcracker
Richard Feinberg
Beautiful facility with good acoustics. Plan ahead for parking as it is all paid parking and some do require a walk.
Rob Thomas
Gorgeous hall. I won't review the concert but I will say that the Phoenix Symphony is worth a trip. It's a great chance to hear some great music, expertly played.
Phil DeAmelia
I attend the symphony here several times per year. The musicians are outstanding and I love their choice of musical pieces. Great acoustics!
Charles Salliby
The music of Led Zeppelin was top of the month killer entertainment. I always enjoy whatever the event is going on @ the symphony. Everyone that works there or dedicates their time is always top notch to help however they can..👍 …
Anthony Gonzales
Great experience! Elevators where needed and all of tge staff was very welcoming. Nobody was uptight.
Kim Ackley
I love Symphony Hall, it's comfortable seating very friendly atmosphere, classy atmosphere and enjoyable shows. I've loved all the shows I've ever gone too especially this last one.
Caitlin Rieker
Had an amazing time at the opera! I will for sure go again! If you haven't been to one you should go its a fun time and an excuse to dress up. Also if you are under the age of 40 you can get amazing deals with the Arizona Opera. Right now they are running a special for 6 tickets for under $100. So basically you pick three shows you want to see and you get two tickets to each show.
There is plenty of parking in the area, I would suggest parking in a garage because the meters do go through the weekend and it is only about $5-$10 use the garages. Which are very much walking distance even in heels!
Sarah Martínez
Daughter graduation was held here and it was a an amazing ceremony
Kort Morningstar
I work for the Phoenix Convention center which includes this venue. The city does a great job each season at selecting a great variety of entertainment for the season. Always clean and most of our staff is helpful and accommodating.
Rich C
Beautiful setting, a must experience for those that love music. Took my daughter here for Disney music w/ the symphony and we both loved it. Very entertaining.
William Spencer
Great Ballet experience!
Matthew Luna
Beautiful venue and great eateries nearby too!
Enrique San Miguel
World Class Facility. Not an expert but experience many music halls around the world and this is really impressive in terms of acustics, backstage and dinning facilities.
For once Houston is up to the challenge of being part of a Network of really global cities
Cindi Karely
Great experience, AC does need to be cooler. My group was sweating as we watched the Nutcracker.
Cindy Clough
I'm glad Phoenix offers to the community and it's visitors a fine arts culture. Symphony Hall is a beautiful and accessible venue. We heard the Phoenix Symphony perform Brahms' Symphony No. 1. We enjoyed the performance.
Lorenz Mangahas
Had a phenomenal time here for the Bosendorfer competition. The director and the staff were fantastic, and were happy to show you where to go if you had questions. Definitely planning on coming here again.
Daishawna Matthews
Went to Romeo and Juliet along with Porgy and Bess and it was amazing. We are going next week for Harry Potter as well. I can't wait!
Michael Grollman
Joyce Yang gave an outstanding performance of Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto.
K A
Went to see the orchestra perform the nightmare before Christmas alongside the film. It was a wonderful experience. The only negative thing I have to say is the parking and traffic in the are.
Daniel Granillo
Was an amazing performance and great family experience.
Michael Farmer
Wonderful production of Ballet Arizona Nutcracker
Ms May
I’ve seen many shows here over the years. The ushers are prompt
d s
Our first time to hear the Phoenix Symphony. Very enjoyable program, especially the Cello Concerto. A beautiful hall with near perfect acoustics.
Jack Hudock
I always enjoy the Phoenix Symphony. It is, in my opinion, a superb orchestra.
Tonight they played one orchestral tour de force as an appetizer (Christopher Rouse's Prospero's Rooms), one soaring virtuoso violin concerto (Benjamin Britten's Concerto No. 1 for Violin & Orchestra, Op. 15), and one 19th Century war horse (Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations).
The last one was beautifully done but paled in the company of the first two. The first one is so frightening that I was struck by real fear and anxiety even though I was sitting in a well-lit room among friends. It's based on a ghastly Edgar Allen Poe short story, so there you go.
The second is Britten's warning about how horrible the world will be if WW II breaks out. It did, of course, and Britten was right.
The third ends the evening on a happy note. A great show, by a great orchestra. No complaints here.
Michelle Banks
Loved the staff and the venue
Mike “CoCo” Arbizo
Saw the Nutcracker here and it was magical. Every seat is a great seat and the parking is done brilliantly. Enjoy the show and drive safe.
Susan Sharp
Wonderful experience ...Holiday Pops
Steve Raml
Wonderful production of Figaro....orchestra and vocalists top notch. However, slowest bartenders they could find. When the line is that long, you can't chat with everyone!
Crello
The resonance is incredible. The setting is very elegant, with wide hallways so it is easy to move about even with a full house. There are lots of bathrooms too. Parking is directly across the street.
Robert Flasher
We attended the Nutcracker by Ballet Arizona and the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. Everything was perfect. It is a wonderful venue for stage performance and music.
Steven Esposito
We enjoyed a great AZ Ballet performance of All Balanchine. All three "acts" were amazing, but we liked the first one best.
Barbara Kennebeck
Went to the ballet loved it! Nightlife! Phoenix! what is not to love? Parking was good within a short walking distance! Beer and wine cold! Yep it was nice!
Brad Sanders
Nice venue. The concert was a bit crowded so lines were quite long and not well managed at intermission. Other than that it was a good experience.
Jerry Derwin
I took just over 40 kids to the Opera for la Traviata. It was an awesome experience for all my students and chaperones. thank you Arizona Opera for giving the kids a great opportunity.
Melissa L.
Loved the show but the concession area was awful. Long lines and during intermission stood in a long long line only to be told they were out of bottled water. Who runs out water here in AZ??
brian cromwell
Very enjoyable show. Would definitely do it again
Brian Amato
Absolutely beautiful concert hall. I still prefer seeing the orchestra at the Ikeda, or the more historic Orpheum, but this hall was large, spacious, and beautiful in it's own way.
Vicki Lovell
The Phoenix Symphony is always wonderful if you like music. The ABBA program was fun. A little slow starting but finished strong.
Gareth Roberts
I was here for Holiday Pops. Good concert but parking was awful. They did not allow parking across the street so I had to park further away. Allow 45 min to an hour extra once you arrive for parking.
Jenna Spurrier
The show was absolutely beautiful. Their Covid policies are absurd and discriminatory.
Deborah Lester
easy to get to. highly recommend the prepaid parking be sure to call a week in advance to get your parking pass. parked at west garage which is right under the hall. wonderful show. would do again.
Bernadette Nieves
First time going to the Symphony Hall and it was wonderful. Friendly staff that was helpful when we couldn't find our seats. Looking forward to going again in the future!
Rosemary Ochoa
Great Hall, excellent ushers and champagne. I enjoy the symphony orchestra, expecially now under Maestro Munoz's leadership, and the variety of guest artists and programs.
David Mettler
Great evening of wonderful Mozart music!
josh caine
Just saw Empire Strikes Back, truly epic with a full orchestra
Susanna D'Souza
The hall itself is great, but finding parking was really difficult.
Anthony Washington
Fun theatre. The orchestra that plays here is fantastic, especially on their sight-readings. I would reccomend anyone to see the nutcracker performance here.
Alicia Gonzalez
Great place! We attended The Nutcracker and it was spectacular! Lovely decorations all over the venue and great spaces.
Jan Savoy
My sister and I very much enjoyed the performance of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. The people working at symphony Hall were very pleasant and helpful
Chandra Lakin
Show was amazing! Acting, singing, stage design!!! Sound wasn't the best. 2 slow dudes serving drinks, not smart.
Ike Waits
Program included a piece by modern (still alive) composer which i was glad to see cause so many smyphonies are afraid to try because old fuddy duddy members do not like. I can say this because i am 72 and like new, cutting edge art and music. 2 numbers of the program included visual presentation. This was the initial one draw for me.
Maria Rodriquez
Gorgeous inside, seats were a little small and not very comfy but the performance was mesmerizing. If the seats were better I would of gave a five star review
Tony Starr
Phoenix Symphony Hall is an amazing venue. Siuated in the heart of the cleanest & quietist downtown area you will find in any big city but with a selection of restaurants around therr. Parking is usually fairly easy with several multi-story parking garages in the area including one actually connected directly to Symphony Hall. The Phoenix Symphony is an excellent orchestra with fantastic art leadership from conductor Tito Munoz and Ib Anderson, both at the top of their field. You absolutely MUST go to the Phoenix Symphony and Arizona Ballet.
Michele Rosen
Wonderful place it's nice that there is a great sound system and masking rules apply!
Isaac M
The Nutcracker was an amazing show and an excellent ballet. The music was also amazing and we enjoyed every moment.
Michael Troidl (Mike)
Balcony row 8 for Carmen.
Janet James
Really nice venue, wonderful sound. Saw a movie with the symphony playing the entire score for the 1st time, really Great!!!!
Warren Harris
The Hall is warm, and the Orchestra absolutely amazing. This Symphony orchestra is insanely good. Go and see them. They are wonderful.
Katherine Kempton
Wonderful. Experience! Violinist was excellent. Such showman ship and expertise. Tears came to my eyes. Would live a recording
Dyane “Dye” Haddock
Beautiful place to watch a ballet. Where to come and see the NFL honors
Gregory Frech
It was a theme program featuring The music of Abba. The full orchestra accompanied an Abba type singing group. Wife said the singers might even be better than Abba. 😁 …
Michael
Here is a tip for anyone who really has to "go" during intermission but finds the line too long - there are restrooms on more than just the main level, and they frequently have no wait.
Trint Castle
Phoenix Symphony Hall is a very elegant, yet stylish venue. The seating quality is average but it is a very nice place to enjoy a concert.
Vani Cao
Love the Phoenix Symphony!
The musicians always put on a great show! There is also ample parking located right across the street and within within walking distance.
Nancy K
Hearing the full Symphony playing is always exciting! The concert was entertaining and the vocalists were excellent.
Sean Bowlin
This place is crazy. My first time and I'm impressed but keep in mind the kind of place this is. They have a lot of unspoken rules. But overall very happy with my experience. Looking forward to going again
Teela D. DeLeon
The chairs are uncomfortable and there's no organization for the coffee/alcohol bars/consessions. Enjoyed the performance and the indoor temperature was nice.
Kirsten Boyd
What a magical place this is. Such a special treat. I just sit back and close my eyes and let the Amazing Music move me. I love the special guests.
Tony Starr
Terrific symphony snd great symphony hall, almost surprising considering you're in the middle of the desert! You can always bank on a very pleasant afternoon or evening at the Phoenix symphony hall.
Sara Arroyo
Amazing venue! The acoustic is very good, the seats are arranged in a spacious and a-good-view-for-everyone manner. Elegant.
Useful Stuff
World class Symphony Hall, great acoustics.
I had the opportunity to listen to Beethoven's piano concerto #1 with the PSO. Great performance.
Ava Rose
This was a great experience. I look forward to other movie and symphony moments. My students enjoyed their first visit.
Bryan Woerner
Good time at these shows.
Douglas Morales
I love this place a lot. It has a great atmosphere, and great shows to accompany it. I would recommend going to any orchestra at least once in your lifetime.
Doyle Golden
Excellent concert hall for ballet or other performances. Near-by affordable parking. Many restaurants close by to eat either before or after a performance.
Josh Colón
Great venue full of courteous ushers and excellent performances.
John Heckendorn
I suppose five stars should be reserved for places like the Santa Fe Opera House and Lincoln Center, but it's a fine venue for opera and classical music when you're in Phoenix.
Kat
This was our first time visiting the symphony . We absolutely loved it Not a bad seat in the house. Beautiful music.
Adam Wampler
The Nightmare before Christmas! This was absolutely amazing. Enjoyed a couple baileys and coffees! A very memorable night for my wife and I.
Linda Kaufman
I have been attending the symphony for almost 3 years. It’s beautiful, the acoustics are amazing and every seat is spectacular.
Amber Ackerson
Great sound in the theater. Loved our experience.
Steffi M
The acoustics were good. And even though our seats were not close to the front near the stage, we could see everything clearly.
Richard Hinkle
Saw LaTraviata there recently. No lines, except at the bar, but those were livable. Comfortable seats, great views and clear sound.
Phylicia Norris
Symphony Hall always have great productions year around! And a lot at a reasonable price! Can't wait to go see another production at Symphony Hall!
Shane Creamer
The acoustics and seating are good, but consider parking down the street rather then wait 20-30 minutes in line to park in their parking garage
Dirtyg Margosin
Nut cracker was great.
Rachel Huddlestone
Fantastic venue for performances - went Saturday night for The Barber of Seville with AZ Opera and tonight for Video Games Live. Only downside is the world's most uncomfortable seats...
Kevin Albert
What an experience! Gorgeous venue, friendly staff, easy parking.
James Adams
Saw the Nutcracker ballet and we were impressed with the performance and the set designs. Easy and affordable parking in the parking garage across the street
Albert Schwartz
Saw "Carmen" there last Friday. Outstanding. The Hall is a civic treasure
Joseph G.
They do classical well...but the popular music selections are not my cup of tea. The first violinist is magnificent.
Kenneth Brown
Great venue. There's a lot of nostalgia in the place.
Ryan DeWitt
Nice venue, great performance of Sibelius No. 5, not so great date. At least we didn’t have to talk for a couple hours! 😅 …
Gen Swatzell
Excellent entertainment by Ballet AZ and the symphony. Only draw back, there isn't much leg room, but I don't think it is something that can be changed
Don Nakano
Beautiful venue for the symphony. Superb acoustics. Expensive and inconvenient parking. Just off light rail line. Lots of restaurant choices nearby.
Charles Az Carwash
The sound in the hall is amazing. The Arizona Opera Company did a great job in the production of "The Marriage of Figaro".
Atanu Mukherjee
Downtown Phoenix. What better place for a evening? Good concerts there. Parking is not a problem if you are willing to pay a bit; right opposite to it is a huge open paid parking lot.
Martin Ballard
Great venue, I've sat all over the lower level and found no bad seat. Plenty if local parking and restaurants.
dawn s
My first symphony ever was for their Christmas show. It was amazing! I can't wait to go again.
Sivhana N
The ballet Arizona have excellent artists. Watching them performing "The Nutcracker" was the best birthday gift.
Tom Salamone
The venue is great. Gustav Holst "The Planets" conducted by Tito Munoz ...complemented by large screen NASA projections of the planets...
Ronald Lamp Sr
We had a magnificent show, put on by volunteers. Amazing testimony to God's holy spirit in action.
James David
It seemed a bit warm inside hall but sounds were fine and nice wandering around for coffee and snacks.
Robert Miller
Awesome today was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie we have gone to all 4 so far and hope they continue until they finish the series
Angela Peters
Very nice atmosphere. We enjoyed the ballet. Great performance. The staff was very nice and helpful.
Internal Profits
Great place to watch an opera performance. We say riders of the purple sage by zane grey. The performance was remarkable!
Jon Hoffman
Really great venue, but make sure to order drinks for intermission in advance, service is very slow and can't keep up with capacity
Rachelle Selby
Tonight was our very first time. My husband and I absolutely loved it!! Thank you all for the magical night!
Oswaldo Migone
The service was excellent, the precautions for Covid also good, enjoyed the show very much
Sandy Spranger
it was a nice experience, since i am not from here, it was a little disappointing to see the way people came dressed for the theatre!
William Galindo
Went and saw the Nutcracker. We had an Amazing time! Great show! Beautiful Venue!
Joel Gámez
It was great. I saw a performance of Romeo and Juliet. The only drawback that kept it from getting five stars was the parking. Or in this case, lack therof.
Chief Lizard
I absolutely loved it. Only exception was the lady in front of me with the puffy hair. Went to go see the symphony play.
