Reviews of Abravanel Hall

Curtis J Morley

This is an architectural, acoustic, and cultural treasure of Utah. The building is stunning inside. The grand sweeping staircases covered in gold leaf angle their way up to the upper tiers and are only matched in their majestic presence by the 40 foot blown glass statue in the lobby. The acoustic design of the grand hall is near perfection. The sound is warm and encompassing no matter where you are seated. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. Come here to step out of the mundane and into a magical world of music.

James Torres

This place is so amazing, I love working here on some of the shows. The artistry here is among the best Utah has to offer in the building is just gorgeous. Great acoustics and good size stage for the orchestra and whoever extra they accompany.

Umut Guzel

Amazing concert hall and we love Utah Symphony Orchestra. Thanks to vaccination mandate they apply. At least we can watch and listen shows care free.

Michael Willson

Rented this hall out for a Voice Male concert this year. Staff was incredibly professional and the concert went off without a hitch. Parking for the entertainers could have been a bit better, but parking in general in SLC is difficult at best

Cassie Lyon

I love going to the symphony. We've been to several shows and all the Harry Potter movies and we love it. My only complaint is they don't enforce any kind of dress code. I still get fancied up but a lot of people come very casual. Other than that it's great, the building is lovely, the hall is immense and the chandeliers are dazzling 💜

Miles Hicks

We had a great time. The Utah Symphony is extremely talented. We attended a showing of Jurassic World where you watch the film while the Symphony plays all the music live. I would highly recommend it. I hope they'll do an older James Bond one day, that would be super cool.

J3R3MIAH

Beautiful sound quality but it's time to update the seats! Plan to get cozy with your neighbor! The seating on the floor is tight!

Simona Hendrix

This place is beautiful. I have always loved going here and seeing people perform. I got to perform here once in my teenage years and it was spectacular. It has amazing acoustics. The one thing I really don't like are the stairs. They are sideways and hard to walk up. There are also so many stairs. It's great to sit on the top balcony, but it sucks to get up there.

Omar Aragon

Very fun night withe symphony's Latin Fire night! If you want to see the fun side of the symphony, don't miss it next year!

Marc de Schweinitz

Creme Brulee transports your taste buds in like manner as the symphony does for your sense of hearing, and that madusa fire statue does for your vision, at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City, proper. Time travelers beware. Your attendance at The Messiah concert will surface doubts in the efficacy of your technological breakthrough..."is this truly a different time" you will question. "Don't be a smart @#$." "Just be quiet so you don't ruin the performance for everyone else..." whispers your Dad (while squeezing your forearm uncomfortably tight), as do the thoughts of everyone else within earshot of your nonsensical jabbering.

Joshua Booth

Great venue for musical events. The only downside is no onsite parking, so plan to walk a bit from one of the nearby lots unless you take TRAX.

Timothy Petersen

As a musician, I adore this place. As a bystander, I adore this place. No matter what the reasoning for being there, it never gets old. The acoustics in the hall are stunning, the architecture is lovely, and every room (that I've been in) is beautiful and pleasant, including the hall, of course. Also, it goes without saying, because many have said it, but the sculpture is magnificent.

Suzanne Howard

Beautiful venue and wonderful acoustics! However they need more bathrooms that are bigger and cleaner. There were 100 of us waiting for a TEENY 3 stall bathroom. It took 30 min and I missed part of the concert

Heather Bostrom

Went to see Bernadette Peters and absolutely loved her show! Then came back to see Celtic Woman for their Christmas concert! This may have to be a new yearly thing for me! The venue is amazing and so far the 2 concerts I have seen were perfect!

Christian Lenhart

Beautiful concert venue, and a very talented orchestra that performs there. Kids as young as 5 are allowed in. If they get rowdy, they have comfy benches and screens in the lobby so you can still hear the concert in the hall.

Jared Streeper

The concert and performance hall is incredible! The sound resonates very well. My only gripe is handicapped accessibility. There are VERY few parking stalls for those who have disabilities and the seats are very limited. I get it's SLC but that shouldn't absolve them of the responsibility in my opinion. We weren't able to buy one because they sold out so fast.

Jenessa Welker

A beautiful venue with great acoustics! I wasn't sure I liked how the slanted and smooth the floor was under the seats, especially with the potential to be wet and slippery from the snow. I loved the concert, though!

michelle m

Always a delightful experience. Refreshments are a bit expensive but every seat in the house is a good seat.

Carson

Beautiful auditorium! The acoustics are very impressive no matter where you sit which makes for an enjoyable experience all around. The staff here are super friendly too.

Jeff Mort

It's hard to find a bad seat. We bought tickets for Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 1. It was our first time to the Utah symphony and we were not disappointed. Also, props to them for having an app that makes looking up events and tickets a breeze.

Luke Rasmussen

Such a great concert hall. I love both watching concerts and performing here. The lights and design are amazing. Super bright and warm environment with great acoustics.

Melissa Wells

Beautiful venue. We got in the door and to our seats quickly and easily. Symphony was excellent.

Glen Thomson

I love watching the Millennial Choirs Christmas concert each year at the Abravanel Hall. The acoustics are excellent, and seating comfortable.

Jason Whetten

I love attending events at Abravanel Hall. It's a gorgeous venue with amazing acoustics, a fantastic lobby with the Olympic Tower glass sculpture, and amazing architecture. Truly a jewel of SLC!

Phil Keeve

Delightful concert venue! Excellent acoustics and a design that has aged very well. Staff were friendly and helpful and the lobby nicely frames Temple Square.

Jenna Stout

The architecture of this place is amazing!! A big staircase with walkways branching off with gold leaf on the walls and a really aesthetically interesting red sculpture in the main room. :) Once you get into the theater room, there are gorgeous chandeliers with diamonds hanging off it that catch the light and create all these rainbows. It's so fun sitting on the side of the room! There's a great view and it's cool to have the chairs angled so you are still sitting "forward" while watching, plus the crazy side of me loves feeling like royalty because it reminds me of back in the old days, when the royalty would sit in the chairs on the sides. :) Me and my cousin saw Celtic Woman with the Utah Symphony and it was one of the best things I've experienced in life, at least so far. They have some of the best natural voices I've ever heard and it was an honor to hear them sing in real life. It was Christmas-themed too, so that was extra fun!

Carl B Wiese

I had a wonderful experience at the MCO concert at Abravanel Hall on December 12th. Fantastic music, wonderful environment, and an overall inspiring event.

Christie Wente

Wonderful acoustics and comfortable seats for a concert.

Jonathan Barker

This concert hall is phenomenal. Its beautifully designed and crafted with lots of gorgeous details. If you have a chance to see the Utah Symphony here, take it! Or there's lot of both free and ticketed events here from other organizations in the Valley. I've performed here with the West Valley Symphony as well as the Draper Philharmonic and Choral Society.

Christian Mays

What an incredible symphony hall and world-class symphony. I’ve heard many symphonies around the United States, but the talent and support I found in Salt Lake City was so far the most amazing experience of classical music I’ve ever had.

Jason

What a spectacular night of amazing music by such talented individuals. I wish there was a better way to thank them for all their years and countless hours of practice and effort. Thank you!!!

Chase Ortega

Beautiful venue. Looking forward to visiting again

diane conrad

Great orchestra, they did a fantastic job on playing the score from nightmare before Christmas.

crystal price

This is a beautiful concert hall. My husband and I attended the John Williams Symphony. WONDERFUL!!! They even had people dressed as characters from his most famous movies to greet you and take photo opportunities. Parking is a challenge if there is another event going on but there are plenty of parking garages available and city parking, be sure to download the parkslc app. I HIGHLY recommend attending any performances here. The staff are very friendly and eager to make your experience a delight.

Renetta West

I always love attending events in Abravenel Hall! There's joy there. The performances are excellent and the surroundings are beautiful.

Angie Mendenhall

I love the culture the talented Utah Symphony adds to our city. The volunteers & staff always make our visits special. Can't wait to go again.

SuperC321

I played in the High school all state band and choir here. What a beautiful hall, amazing architecture, great acoustics.

Diane Call

Beautiful! The acoustics were great. The interior was richly decorated. The chairs were comfortable and not too close together. The person at the ticket office was genuinely happy to be at work, and the usher was friendly. All in all, we had an exquisite experience.

Jason Judkins

This place is awesome! Great place for a date night, especially for Harry Potter concert series. It is best to buy tickets ahead of time. Many shows are sold out! The chandeliers are amazing. Definitely a 5 star experience! They do allow bottled water in the hall. They also have concessions.

terri benavides

The venue is beautiful. There is a breathtaking sculpture in the lobby. Even with being built in the late 70s, it's quite uniquely cool. The acoustics are great and I loved the chandeliers in the concert hall.

B

Beauty. Talent. Class. Salt Lake offers phenomenal musical talent from across the world. The differing availability of music is wonderful. From classic Hollywood movies with live orchestral accompaniments to Opera to Spanish guitar and more. Lots to see and hear here. (With surprisingly amazing leg room too)! Some events have family passes which I like so I can share my love for music onto my children They feel how special this place is and appreciate the talent here. I always park in City Creek. Saturday nights seem affordable.

Ken and Alicia Lund

A wonderful venue to enjoy fine performing arts. Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake, there is actually pretty inexpensive and convenient parking nearby. Beautiful venue.

Carla Eskelsen

Beautiful hall with great acoustics, and a very satisfying and diverse offering in programming. Most seats are very good. Their ticketing people are lovely to work with. The featured Chihuly glass sculpture is stunning, but needs a bit of careful dusting. Perhaps it's not possible...

Kevin Myers

Some places feel old when they don't update... I appreciate that Abravanel hasn't "updated". Love the classic feel and the acoustics are still amazing.

Katarina Pantic

Amazing acoustics. Great shows!

Goldre

Truly fantastic venue, amazing acoustics, and stellar staff. And, of course, the music that plays here is out of this world.

Kelline Jones

Had a wonderful time with my husband. Wheelchair accessible, going down easy, going up I can skip leg day for a week!!

Abby Scott

I love going to abravenel hall to listen to orchestras play!! It is such a pretty place with beautiful sound!

Rod Schiffman

It gets at least a couple stars just for having a Dale Chihuly glass sculpture in the lobby. It's modern, but classic. The facility is aging well. I've been here a half dozen times over the last 20 years in a variety of seats. I've always felt they were fair seats for the price. This event was great and I was on the third row. No complaints. I've been to a couple VIP events, and the side rooms to meet the cast are nice, and the catering is good. I like that they have a wide mixture of artists perform here.

Gareth Atkinson

The symphony is always uplifting and Abravanel Hall is such a beautiful venue.

Cathryn Haubner

My sister and I attended the Utah Symphony concert with Hillary Hahn as the soloist and the concert was incredible! In addition to the music, my experience with the staff and the facilities was also positive. Tje bathroom was clean, stocked in the essentials and had plenty of stalls to keep the ever-present woman's room line moving quickly!

Andre Eian

I've been here for many concerts and ceremonies, and I'm equally impressed every time. It's wonderful to have such a pillar of culture dead-center the city. The symphony is fantastic, and always worth every penny.

Carlos Cubas

Beautiful place to listen to music, quick check-in, easy to find your seat, you can ask for help in every tier. The Christmas concert was very good and short, an hour of joy is short. We found seats to the third tier and was very good to see all-around from there; you can see and listen perfectly, surprised that was not full, we tried to buy tickets on the first floor but online said were sold out. Once there third of the seats were empty everywhere.

Sara Evans

Amazing performance along with a fun movie. Always a good evening at Abravanel Hall.

Kate Weaver

Stunning, great acoustics, clean, good atmosphere

Helen Mar

It was such a great experience. It's a very beautiful airy and well set up concert hall. The symphony was wonderful

Melanie Kuse

Good acoustics and cool lighting options. Coat check is $1, totally worth it, as there isn't much room per seat. There are plenty of doors going in and out of the theater, so getting in and leaving are pretty simple. Small snacks and drinks available, but only bottled water is the only drink allowed in the theater. I would recommend dressing nicer, as this is a classy place with classy events. So many people wearing ripped jeans, trucker hats, and baggy tshirts... come on people, we can do better!

Greta Ladson

Abravanel Hall is gorgeous! Architecturally beautiful and located downtown, it's a treat to visit and enjoy music there. The acoustics are wonderful. The staff and volunteers round out the experience, being professional, attentive, and informed.

Jacob Stephenson

The music was great, and this was a very enjoyable venue. It was easy to find the seats, and getting out afterwards went fairly smooth too, although it did get very congested behind my group.

Jerry Knorr

Great place good music. Saw the Celtic women perform they were fabulous. The Utah Symphony wasn't to bad either.

Emily Nybo

Abravenel Hall is one of my most favorite places in salt lake city. I've been many times. The acoustics are in credible and the building is extremely beautiful. I plan to go more frequently in the future too, because the Utah Symphony is amazing. This concert was with Audra McDonald, who sings on Broadway. She also brought her traveling band. Her stories were entertaining and her voice was impeccable. Every time I go to the symphony, it feels like very personalized.

Alma Jensen

Not a bad hall but dated in style could really use a good remodel.

Marianne Hickman

Parking is an issue, but that’s SLC for you. The venue is gorgeous and all the performances here have been stunning.

Juan F.

Such a beautiful theatre. Seating is a bother for the people in the middle seats because they have to cut through a lot of people to get in or out. Glad I got the isle seat. I hope to return soon!

Robyn

Wonderful experiences, enriching our lives!! Can get same day tickets, often! I l💗ve being there! The symphony performs there! !Can get season tickets! A great place to bring our children, teaching them with different genres! Prepare them, that it is a quiet place. The library, can help that! T H A N K Y O U ! ! ☺️ …

Ryan Kirkham

Fantastic hall. Been to many a performance here. Not too big not too small, good elevation in orchestra make all seats good. Great location in downtown Salt Lake City across the street from Temple Square and also City Creek Mall.

David Yauney

Fantastically beautiful and has excellent seating for both listening and viewing. The Utah Symphony (which is one of the most common performers here) is phenomenal and the other performers don't disappoint. There are a number of annually reoccurring events which are also extremely entertaining, notably the Messiah Sing-in.

Jenn Rost

I love this house, it is one of my all time favorites anywhere because it is just so beautiful and now I know where the acoustic best seat in the house is! As determined by a field expert during an experiment to quantify the acoustics in the audience space. He then bought his season tickets in that location...I'd trust that guy for sure! It all sounds incredible in there!

Layla Migliori

Beautiful building. I don’t believe that there is a bad seat to be had! The concessions were pricey- but so don’t mind if it’s supporting the arts.🥰 …

Tony Torres

Wonderful venue. The acoustics design is terrific, and the seats are acceptable. It looks like there isn't a bad seat in the house. Most importantly, the Utah Symphony itself, is excellent. I have yet to attend a performance where they didn't impress. Kudos to all their conductors and musicians!

Daniel Oblad

Jurassic World performed live was amazing!

Vivienne Storch

I’ll probably haul is a place to go with my uncle to the symphonies and operas It is a beautiful facility

Sea Creature

Performed here with my choir and it was such an amazing experience. You could feel past performers beside you performing along side you. It was so amazing.

Luke

Really beautiful music hall. Didn't have any complaints.

wmcot

There is not a bad seat in the entire hall. The acoustics are so perfect that you can hear the quietest note from every instrument. And the Utah Symphony is one of the greatest!

Curtis Graham

Probably won't do it again. We recently attended the Harry Potter performance. I was expecting the symphony to play selections from the film. Instead, we watched the whole film, with the symphony supplementing the music. This wasn't about the music at all, but rather a vast group of harry potter fans paying $50+ to watch a film in a room with chandeliers. No soloists were recognized for their beautiful music. As the credits were rolling, the crowd cheered for their favorite actors, but no one cheered for Nicholas Hooper, the film composer...the man whose music we were enjoying. Attending the symphony should be about the love of music, not a fancy theater to watch reruns. In the future, it would be better to have the film silent with subtitles, or to simply only show scenes from the film that correlate with the music being played. As for the Abravanel Hall, It's a nice enough venue for attending the symphony and other performances. The gold plated stairways and landings make for an elegant setting. The Chihuly glass sculpture is stunning. The stairs leading up to any of the levels are slanted which leads to a very obnoxious climb. Overall a nice facility, though the overall architecture of the building leans more toward the Bauhaus movement rather than modernist and leaves the visitor feeling a bit underwhelmed when compared to the Cincinnati Music Hall, Boston's Jordan Hall, New York's Met, or even the SLC Tabernacle.

A Cheatwood

Great show, but the building is really a mess to navigate and get to seats etc, especially with COVID considerations. Parking is sorta hard to find, and for some reason they don't just send you the tickets in email, you have to download their app, setup and account and link it to see the tickets. That said, really fantastic staff!

ATSF RAIL FAN

Great concert! Especially liked the first piece.

Brent Butler

This venue is first class. I've never had a bad experience. Went to Prokofiev 2nd piano concerto today. Fantastic! Also, Shostakovich 1st Symphony. Loved it!

Don McPherson

Dvorak's New World Symphony was totally awesome, as always! Abravanel Hall was full. I was impressed that so many young people were in attendance! We love the Utah Symphony & Thierry Fischer!!

Malena Caffall-Davis

Beautiful venue. Very nice evening watching Singin' In The Rain film concert with the symphony! I would highly recommend going to one sometime!

Dain Hodson

We love coming to the Utah Symphony movie concert series. They do an incredible job. Highly recommended.

Brooklyn Marble

Friendly staff who are well organized and helpful + great acoustics in the hall make it a great night!

SteampunkFiend

Great atmosphere with fantastic performances. There's not a lot like sitting in the comfy chairs and feeling the floor shake under your feet with the fantastic acoustics. A truly beautiful and entertaining venue to attend.

Michael Rae

Nice venue. We saw Dave Ramsey speak. It was a heavy crowd, but it was easy to navigate. The glass sculpture in the lobby was fantastic.

Charlotte Reese

Such great sound for a symphony concert. It’s a beautiful hall with comfortable seats.

A

Beautiful place. Kind staff. I still don't understand the parking (parking at the Salt Palace) and getting to the hall in a reasonable way. Other than that it is a highlight of Salt Lake and has been since I was a child.

Joshua DeMoux

I love the symphony and the music here is always fantastic. The building has plenty of seating and the acoustics are phenomenal. The cost of tickets vary depending on location. You can find tickets at times for as little as $18 a ticket. The staff is friendly and willing to help. There is a good amount of paid parking surrounding the building and plenty of places to eat.

Ky Haslam

The building is beautiful! And its beneficial to have as many seats as it does, it helps more people to enjoy the concerts. The glass blown sculpture in the lobby is absolutely breathtaking, especially when the light hits it just right. Though the performer lineup is not well organized. They had all 300 of us waiting outside in the cold February weather for over an hour. Nonetheless, it's a gorgeous place for concerts.

Eliane Lima

This place is so spacious inside and well kept! The restrooms are very large and keep the very long lines going super fast so you don’t waste any time. One of the most amazing things about it is the glass sculpture right as you walk in.

Paul Anderson

I took a load of Junior high kids as a bus driver. They seemed to have a very good time. The symphony gave them a $20 rate for the children which I thought was very fair. Parents and chaperones and teachers had to pay $50.

Shaun McGee

This hall was amazing. I came from Ohio for my graduation. This place was really amazing.

Hollie Johnson

Beautiful, love the Millennial choir And orchestra.

Amanda Queen

Always have an enjoyable time! Thank you to the sponsors for making this happen.

Rachael Miller

Absolutely incredible experience with the Harry Potter movie with live music. I loved the whole experience, and really you just can't go wrong with attending any of the Utah Symphony's productions.

Angie Massarella

Casting Crowns concert was AMAZING! The acoustics there were perfect!

Erika Searle

Came here on a 5th grade field trip. Absolutely love listening to the symphony! Haven't been in years. Can't wait to go back for a concert.

Amy Noriega

Great hall, friendly staff, loved the show!

Gretchen

The Cirque de la Symphonie was amazing! Excellent performances by all the artists! I love going to Abravanel, it is such a beautiful venue.

Lillie Boulanger-Potts

I had an amazing experience. I seen Women Rock, with the symphony. Would never have thought the symphony could rock like that.

Camerin Russell

Fabulous! Such a cool experience hearing the Utah Symphony live!

Dave Cluff

World class facility! The acoustics are excellent.

Linda Burrows

Had Such An AWESOME time at Abravanel Hall attending the Utah Symphony Orchestra...the music was FABULOUS.. So Many NICE people were willing to help us and The Staff at Abravanel Hall was EXCELLENT... The Adventure tonight Rated as a 10+😊😁☺️ …

Kaitlyn Jack (Katie)

This is a beautiful venue for performances. I’ve been here multiple times and always had a great time. The seats are very close together and numbered in an odd way and a little uncomfortable. Other than that only great things!

James Tran

Look at these seats! Look at those performers! It was awesome. Everyone should come to the symphony at least once in their life.

David Boucha

Beautiful building. Thoroughly enjoyed the Utah Symphony

Angela Chavez

Wasn't aware that food/drinks weren't allowed in the theater. And the spotlight doesn't move - it just stays in the middle of the stage. But staff is friendly. Everything is clean. Good experience.

Rachel Howard

Beautiful, absolutely stunning performance by the symphony and great facilities

Bryce Thorup

The Utah symphony is spectacular. There is nothing quite like a live performance. Superb!

Paul Weagle

It's always a treat to see the symphony. Can't wait for our next visit!

Derek Lewis

Beautiful venue, professional staff. Great experience. Saw the Utah symphony and they did such an incredible job.

Kevin Dexter

Always a great space to see and hear a performance.

Matt Freeman

Don't miss the cinema with the symphony experiences. They are so fun!

Brad Wind

The music is incredible, the whole place is beautiful, I enjoy myself every time I go there, except for those damned, uncomfortable, tiny seeds that feel like a movie theater from the 1940s

Timothy Nishimoto

I am in a band (Pink Martini) that just played two nights Abravanel Hall with the Symphony, and just like the several times before, the audience was great, the staff was great, the Symphony was great (if a little stiff and stodgy, as always!), and the sound was just okay.

Michael Mitchell

Wonderful concert, great concert hall. Love that they try to keep concerts moving and mixing it up with different eras of classical music. My students had a blast and I will definitely be going back. Staff was extremely helpful and kind also, can't recommend it enough.

Jayme Jorgensen

Went to a Rogers and Hammerstein concert with my daughter to satisfy a school requirement for a music class. Beautiful hall and fantastic performance!

Doug Welton

I love this venue! The performances have always been incredible. The staff professional. The seating is a little tight in places, but the sound and ambiance are wonderful.

Hansen1701

Amazing experience, as always! Masks were required as were presentation of vaccination cards. These pieces are always so much more amazing to hear in person than a recording. The violinist was amazing too!

Bianca Alderson

What an exquisite theater! The sculpture in the foyer is breathtaking and the theater itself is awe-inspiring. I have only attended the symphony there twice so far but look forward to attending a great many more performances in the future. And the staff? They were all super knowledgeable, exceedingly kind, and over the top professionals. They really helped make a very special event even more so.

John B. Fraser (John)

Wonderful concert hall, great acoustics and layout. Stage not quite large enough for full philharmonic orchestra. Parking can be a problem.

Kimberly Dalby

Beautiful concert venue. The foyer has an amazing glass sculpture. Bathrooms are clean with plenty of stalls during intermission. The concert hall itself is also very beautiful. Great acoustics. We saw the symphony here and from very quiet to very loud we could hear every note.

Anjanette Butler

I love this venue. I've watched performances and performed here myself several times. It's a wonderful hall.

Cory Molloy

Symphony Hall is a great place to hear Utah's best musicians perform. I had a fun date night with my wife. It was absolutely wonderful! When Rachmaninoff No. 2 played - my wife reached over and put my hand on her tummy. I got to feel my little boy moving about inside of her for the first time, right there in symphony hall. Apparently he loves classical music. What a great memory.

Cody Simonsen

Fun place. Always nice to be here. The lobby is a piece of artwork on and of itself! Enjoyable atmosphere to enjoy before any show. Then when it comes time for your show the theatre accommodations are wonderful. From the least expensive to the most lavish tickets, I think everyone has a great time.

Christian Brown

Truly a breathtaking and remarkably beautiful building! I could not have been more thrilled with my experience not only was the concert that I saw which by the way was the Utah Symphony orchestra performing the score to the iconic movie Star Wars . Not only was the performance magnificent the staff that helped find our seats were so kind and so polite and excited to help you out meanwhile the staff that helps in concessions were also incredibly helpful and very courteous to all the patrons. Plenty of visibility. With unfettered views to the stage truly a magnificent ambience as well.

Cheryl Frank

Listening to a Symphony Orchestra is such a delight!

Rosalie Kimball

This is a great venue. It's one downfall is that there is only one, slow elevator. Hasn't really changed. I basically a nice venue.

Lisa Hillier

Beautiful venue with great acoustics and all seating in house has a good view.

Marilyn Snell

Beautiful symphony hall with a great orchestra. We were able to sit center front and usher in the Christmas season listening to Handel's Messiah.

Ray Furbush

I don't think there it's a bad seat on the house. Symphony was great with a3D screen.

Ian Brubaker

Nice to have a big concert hall in the city, however the acoustics are not quite as good as others I have been to. I still have yet to find the best seats for sound, the strings and piano can often get drowned out by the winds. The facilities are clean, but the glass art piece in the lobby is absolutely ghastly and disturbing. The Utah symphony is great though, I really like the pieces they play, save for the modern classical garbage that's passed off as music, but I think that's less the choice of the symphony than the program director.

Sydney Snow

Beautiful venue. I am a performer with a local choir (MCO) and I love being able to preform in their space. The hall is wonderfully designed for sound but it is also well decorated with beautiful art, colors and amazing architecture. Definitely go to a concert here, you will not be disappointed.

April Armstrong

Wonderful! Friendly! Entertaining! Elegant! Beautiful location for the Utah Symphony and cirque performers... Only thing I dislike is the bar on the first row balcony seats is always in the way to see the performers in front of the orchestra... Getting better seats next season!

Wes Colemere

The acoustics in the concert hall are fantastic, and the aesthetic of the hall itself is also exquisite. Thee general ambience of the facility is high class, and very well maintained. There are no bad seats available; productions can be well enjoyed from anywhere within the concert hall.

Kyle Hole

This is a beautiful hall. Acoustics are great! I've attended multiple events put on by the Utah Symphony here and they always produce a quality concert or show. If you've never been, I recommend checking out a show to experience it! Parking across the street at City Creek is pretty easy and cheap, but be aware it can get congested getting out after a concert, especially if there's any other event happening nearby like a Jazz game.

Jacob Deklerk

Went to Abravanel Hall for a college graduation. Located right in the center of downtown Salt Lake City, this venue is very nice. I was impressed by how large and spacious the venue was. The seats are comfortable and you have a good view of the stage from pretty much everywhere. They have artistic pieces all around the lobby to take pictures on front of. A great staff is friendly and accommodating.

Robert Brown

Such a beautiful place! It's so impressive. The acoustics are good, and the view of the stage is excellent. There's not a bad seat in the house.

Zach Voris

This hall is beautiful, and the orchestra exceeded expectations. I get the feeling there is no such thing as a bad or even mediocre performance for this ensemble.

Sara Boghosian

Beautiful inside and an amazing place to listen to a concerto. Comfortable seats too. Definitely did not disappoint

Heather GChild

Abravanel has fantastic acoustics. Concerts and operas here are wonderful. Seating has issues on the far sides on levels 1 and 2 if you need to see the full stage though. Went to a recent live Harry Potter concert and it was lovely.

Nate Somsen

OVERVIEW - 4.2 Came here to the Distant Worlds Concert for Final Fantasy after a friend of mine had offered me a free ticket. It was amazing! The acoustics in the auditorium was great! LOCATION - 5 Abravanel Hall has a great location just kiddie-corner to temple square in Downtown Salt Lake, and the UTA blue line train leaves you right in front of it! PRICE - 2 Even though I didn't have to pay for my ticket, I found the price a little steep for my liking. ($65 for the second floor balcony) PRODUCT/SERVICE - 5 The performance from the Distant Worlds Orchestra was stunning. There were several times I got goosebumps. POINTERS/PERKS - 4 I would recommend sitting on the second floor balcony towards the middle or perhaps another floor for the best sound and view of the stage. Try to figure out which floor you are on before standing in long lines on the first floor. I couldn't tell by my ticket what floor we would be on. EMPLOYEES - 5 All the employees were extremely polite, and dressed professionally.

Lori Draney

Great symphony concert. Fabulous pianist.

Zander Sawyer

Went to go see Star Wars live and was a fantastic show. The venue was great and well staffed.

Christie Wente

Great acoustics and a beautiful place for concerts

Liam Brookhart

Although it is no Carnegie Hall, Abravanel Hall is definitely a symphonic performance venue to be proud of. From the minute you walk in, and, indeed, even as you walk up, it is readily obvious that a lot of thought and care went into this building. The construction is beautifully modern and magnificent, yet avoids ostentation. I will readily admit that I have never heard the actual Utah Symphony perform in Abravanel Hall, only guest groups. I can nonetheless promise that the Hall is capable of terrific sound quality. I have both played on the stage and sat in the audience, and both were wonderful experiences. If you have the chance to travel to New York to experience a concert in Carnegie Hall, I would recommend it with all my heart. There's no comparison. But while you're in Utah, Abravanel Hall makes for a suitable substitute.

Aside from the show I went and saw, My Brother, My Brother and Me, being the greatest show in my life the venue and service was very clean and professional. It had helpful and friendly staff that were able to answer any questions we might have. The only strange little bit about this venue is the stairs going up in the main hall, axis curves but the stairs do not so be careful not to trip. The Bathrooms were accessible and clean. Amenities for handicapped people's were available.

Patryk G

I came here for Harry Potter with live orchestra and was blown away at how wonderful the venue was. Between the beautiful glass sculpture in the lobby to the wonderful theatre, it was an amazing experience. The staff is absolutely wonderful as well, they'll help you with just about anything!

Drew Roberts

Abravanel Hall is a stunning place to enjoy a night of music. The acoustics are great and the styling is beautiful. The seats are comfortable, but leg room is limited which makes for difficult access to middle seats. Parking isn't an issue with City Creek's large underground parking just across the street. There are many other sights to see in the area and plenty of restaurants to eat at. I sure do love going there!

Kimball Larsen

Great sound from the Jr. High and High School All-State Orchestras. These young musicians are really incredible. It was such a pleasure to hear them play such difficult pieces so well. I would really like to see other performances here now too, after being twice.

Colten Tidwell

Watched home alone while the symphony played and it was magical.

Daniel Webb

Home of the superb Utah Symphony, Abravanel Hall also hosts many other orchestras and musicians. It's tough to find a bad seat anywhere in the venue. The acoustics are amazing. If you get a chance to hear the Utah Symphony play here - especially if you like the piece they are performing - you should grab that chance.

Jenny

This is a beautiful concert hall and the acoustics are wonderful. I do not think there's a bad seat in the house. The seats are older so are typical (and narrow) but not uncomfortable.

Bridget Brandenburg

Loved hearing the Messiah. Beautifully done. I only missed singing along!

Annette M

Great acoustics and the symphony played Bach to perfection. I also liked the huge Chihuly in the lobby.

Clifford King

This is the best place to hear music in the state and one of the better halls in the country. Beautifully and impeccably designed there isn’t a poor seat in the house though each seat could give you a different experience. I recommend sitting in the top tier in the back for the best audio experience. It’s amazing. However if you are like me and like to feel like you are practically in the orchestra hearing surround sound and mechanical noise, go as close to the stage as possible. For the best hearing and seeing experience, between rows 17-25 are ideal in my view. As one who has seen the symphony hundreds of times in this venue, again, there are no poor seats, but you can take my advice on my preferences! Enjoy this gorgeous hall that features an original Chihuly sculpture that was installed when the olympics came to town.

Kristi Lemieux

Lovely venue. Always a delight.

Sandy George

This is a beautiful facility from the floor to ceiling wall of windows facing the mountains, to the Exquisite blown glass sculpture 2 stories high in the lobby, to a beautiful performance theater with stunning chandeliers and an open feel! There is seriously not a bad seat in the house!! I feel I've had a marvelous and special experience each time I go!

Cole Brendel

Beautiful venue. I saw a combination Ballet West/Utah Symphony performance. It was lovely. I cannot wait to go to my next show. Beware the brief intermissions, I had to literally chug hot coffee in order to make it back to my seat.

Troy

We go to the symphony often. Simply astounding. Everything you expect from a professional concert hall and more.

Sid Unrau

I have both performed and attended in this beautiful concert Hall. It is just beautiful and the acoustics are perfect. It is a glorious concert Hall for all involved. The last time I was there I was in two performances and it was such a pleasure to be able to performed for the entire audience without obstruction.

Rhett Parry

Great music in a great concert hall. I definitely recommend seeing the Utah Symphony as a weekend escape.

Logan James

a bit outdated in some areas, otherwise a very grand concert hall, visitors will exhibit beautiful sound reverberation, and an amazing viewing experience.

Ky Horrocks

Attending any event in a beautiful venue such as Abravanel Hall is an experience to be savored! It is a treasure we better not take for granted in Utah!

John Cox

An impressive building. Large, elegant, and the concert hall is acoustically impressive. Even on the third floor seats in the back, I can hear quiet and subtle notes from a single instrument. Parking is nearby and you need to pay for it, but worth the cost of admission.

Tyler Gerritsen

Great venue. Hasn't changed a bit over the years... Has not needed to. Concert hall always immaculate. Plenty of legroom in seats. The talent always amazes, enertains, and delivers so well. Family friendly. Bathrooms are built for high capacity and that's appreciated. We have never had anything but positive experiences here. Highly recommend it. Get tickets ahead of time and can get discount for family-directed concerts.

Dean Hamilton

Took my daughter to the symphony performance of Pirates of the Caribbean. They symphony was AWESOME! They were spot on and sounded so good. Timing to the movie was perfect. In fact I'd love to do it again cause I think it is a fun way to spend time at the symphony. But they're prices are extremely expensive. Expensive for both tickets and concessions. That, and the fact that I couldn't have my concessions in the show, are my only two complaints.

Levi Cheney

Great place I love the beautiful architecture. Worth going.

Jennifer Price

Such an awesome experience in a beautiful building!!

John Dye

Attended a Millenium Choir and Orchestra event. Absolutely stunning. The venue is great as well.

VaLon Lee

Great place to see a show. Kind of dated decor, but it is still super nice. I can only imagine the sound is great everywhere. The front row is lower than the stage, so be prepared to look up if you get close seats.

Amanda McFarland

We went to the Jojo Siwa concert here and it was so much fun! Staff was happy and knowledgeable about exactly where our seats were. Only complaint is that you couldn’t bring anything besides water to your seats, whereas I would have enjoyed bringing a soda or a snack. It is understandable though since they want to maintain their facility and bringing sticky snacks in can ruin that!

Brian Armstrong

This is a stunning concert hall with mind blowing acoustics and comfortable seating. Snacks are reasonable priced (I would consider them cheap for an upscale venue like this). There's a large, paid parking lot kiddy corner to the venue, but no parking at the actual building.

Gregory Convey

Very nice music Hall. Utah symphony played music with the veiwing of Pirates of the Caribbean

Calvin Habel

great place to perform. congrats to anyone else in the umea state honor choir 2020

Robert Hulbert

Utah symphony is just so fantastic!!

A-Aron

This is a nice venue to see the Symphony and other big name acts. It beautifully and simplistically adorned in faux gold with excellent acoustics. Parking is a challenge but such is the case for a downtown venue. There is a coat check and a basic selection of refreshments. If you're looking for a fine wine selection....well...sneak it in yourself....

Chris Dwight

Offering the best in symphonic presentations, this is a must for any fan of the musical arts. I saw Star Wars in concert and the orchestra was so in sync, so on time, so perfect that it was as if the score was being played on DVD or something. Beautiful decor and delightful hospitality staff easily earn this venue a 5 star rating.

Aeris Larson

This place is absolutely georgeous, had the opportunity to perform here in a large group choir, and it sounded amazing. I had a wonderful experience.

Michelle Smith

2nd time here. So nice and the orchestra is amazing! We attended the Films and concert series. It was a very nice experience.

Neil Bastian

I have had season tickets for the USO for years. They are one of my favorite things about living in Utah.

Product Designer Travis

It is a beautiful performance hall. The seating is comfortable and the performances are wonderful.

Benjamin Klipfel

Stadium seating, assigned seats, three levels. We were on the floor in the middle and I think had some of the best seats in the house. Nice venue for a more formal concert, not a rock and roll venue for sure. Right by city creek and downtown hotels.

Keith Turner

The Utah Symohony plays here. They are a great symphony

Dustin Pyper

Excellent venue (dress nice!) Great place for a first date or 40th anniversary. I am impressed every time I go, the Utah symphony is first class and the guests at Abravanel Hall are always amazing.

DeeDee Zabriskie

Great concert hall! Not a bad seat I. The building. Lots of close parking, but you have to pay for it. Trax runs right in front of the building too. We had so much fun for a concert I would definitly go to a concert there again!!

Julie Jenkins

Fabulous night at the symphony. We went to the night that they perform for those with disabilities who have a hard time in regular concerts. It was nice knowing that their behaviors wouldn't be looked on negatively. It was really great!

Zachary Duvall

I've come to several different shows here and several different kinds of shows, and they've all been good experiences. I enjoy when they show movies with a live Orchestra, although it can be difficult to hear the movie sometimes. Hope you have a good time!

Michael Lott

Our family loves this place. Lately, we've been going to the film's in concert series. It's a great way to introduce younger kids to the symphony. The sound is Sooo much better than the actual movies.

Jocelyn Sciortino

I am always so in love with the acoustics here! Thank you Utah symphony for letting me bring my students to your dress rehearsal, it's the most respectful listening I've ever observed them doing.

Michael Benedict

This is a good place to go to a show but their rules and regulations Regarding food and drink are puzzling. Because they have a snack bar outside of the main Hall however they will only let you bring water into the auditorium. That to me seems kind of odd if they don't want people bringing those items in to the thedor then they should not be sold during intermission because the point of most theaters that sell concessions is to have something to enjoy during the performance And it also makes it difficult if a person has to use the men's or women's facility in a timely manner so they don't miss the show they paid for. Because the men's and women's restrooms are very small and there is always a big line. Which means 9 times out of 10 you run the risk of missing a major part of the performance you paid your hard earned money for.

Jessica Morris

Great venue, top of the class artists/performers. Great staff! I catch a few concerts each year and never had just an "okay" experience. The symphony is terrific!

Bethany McCombe

Amazing place, a beautiful hall almost always filled with wonderful music. It's very enjoyable to sit in the audience and listen to the Utah Symphony or another group, and it is even more enjoyable to perform onstage.

Kent Ward

Very enjoyable Symphony concert. On entering covid vaccination card or test required. Masks required entire time in building.

Shane Rage

Abravanel hall really is something Utah can be proud of, it's construction is amazing and it's acoustics even more so. I have never been disappointed with the experience of Abravanel hall. I would definitely recommend anyone to attend a concert or symphony here!

K W

What a beautiful building and great performances. The only thing I hate are the seats. Call me paranoid but solid rows all the way across the entire hall just seems unsafe? It was an awkward set up to me. I felt super claustrophobic, but I'm sure if that doesn't bother you -you will be just fine.

Brian Cottle

This place has a fantastic atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly! We go to see the Utah symphony on occasion, and the acoustics are great throughout the performance hall. This is a beautiful place to spend a night out.

Brian Blodgett

We saw the Broadway Divas show tonight. AMAZING. The Utah Symphony was stellar as usual. My only complaint was with the sound technician. My seats were closer to the speaker, so I could hear the voices way louder than the symphony.

Marisol Padilla

I've been to Abravenel Hall several times over the last 7 years for various graduation ceremonies (including my own). The atmosphere is fantastic and elegant. My favorite piece of decor are the chandeliers. It's always clean and the staff has always been friendly to my family and I.

JTC

This is a pretty good venue for concerts, etc. I typically see Jerry Seinfeld when he comes through town. Seats have good views. Seat numbering can be a bit confusing to some. The location is convenient to downtown. You can always find a place to get a something to eat/drink before or after your show. Employees are patient and helpful. Parking is whatever you can find downtown. Egress is just as scattered depending on where you park.

Cameron Hill

Wonderful concert hall, always clean and comfortable,. Fantastic performance from every event I have been to there.

Jan Finn

Loved being there for the Gina Bachauer Youth Piano competition final. The 5 finalist each played concertos with the Utah Symphony and they were amazing. The competition was at such a high level and the music so moving. Loved it and hope to be back next time.

Alpha Zeta

It's a really nice place and excellent music, I just wish that people had symphony etiquette. For instance knowing when to clap, not just jabbering on to the person besides them or being on their phone during the performance, paying a good chunk of money for rules to not be enforced.

Travis Hoyt

My wife and I saw Holst's The Planets by the Utah Symphony at Abravanel Hall. Apart from the inspiring performance, the venue was gorgeous and its unique architecture is a treat in and of itself. The staff was polite and knowledgeable. Our seats were upholstered and comfortable. As an acoustics student, I can attest to the responsible design of features of the hall that make for phenomenal acoustics, especially for music performance. More exit doors would have come in handy when the performance ended, but it wasn't terribly inconvenient. The TRAX station right outside makes this an easily-accesible venue. Hope to visit again soon!

Nate Christofferson

I love this concert hall. I almost left off a star for the awful carpet in the lobby that replaced the old, beautiful green carpet. But giving four instead of five stars for something that trivial would be silly. (Almost as silly as the decision to install vertigo-inducing carpet in the lobby of a concert hall that was perfectly lovely as it was before).

Harold D.

Nice show, great facility, awesome seats. Picked out tickets up at will call and got right in. Parking across the street at Park Place was really convenient. Cost 10 bucks, but was really close and quick to exit after the show.

Daniel Gilliland

There isn't a bad seat here. Amazing acoustics as well. And they have a lot of different performances here, from Alton Brown to a start wars symphony. Great place!

Marty Hogan

Classic theater with amazing acoustics. Main floor is oddly designed with no access to seats other than on the very ends. Balcony's are excellent. Dress is semi-formal at least.

Kate Simmons

Awesome place to spend your time and money. Beautiful building, everyone is very kind and always willing to help, and the music and acoustics are amazing. I've been going all my life and each time have been surprised and amazed.

Phillip Peterson

Love it! Great music. Thanks for letting us hear it.

Chaden Hite

Saw the Utah Symphony perform. Amazing acoustics, and the performance was top notch

Michelle

We went to the Santa Claus performance today. It was so magical for my girls, 4 and 7. They absolutely LOVED it!

Holly Yandle

It is not all its cracked up to be. It's not bad but parking is ridiculous add another 20 minutes for that between parking and walking there. It is auditorium seats like at an elementary school and depending on the venue, ie symphony they will not let you in you are late. Hope this is objectively informational

Parker Sackewitz

It is an amazing venue that is acoustically amazing. Even though it's over 40 years old, it still feels timeless and ages well. It has been a delight to attend this hall both as a kid and an adult.

N Brown

We've had season tickets for a number of years, and have enjoyed the acoustics, seating, and experience. Recent renovations and small changes have been very appreciated, and we will continue to enjoy a variety of performances and artists.

Phillip Nako

Great concert hall! No real bad seats!

Lindsey Carr

We went here because my sister was in the honor choir! It sounded so nice and everything felt so fancy to me haha.

Ben N (Erv)

Been here for many concerts over the years. Always good sound quality and a really beautiful building and performing hall.

Franklin Acosta

Beautifu place. We went to see Sarah Brightman in concert and it was great.

Elizabeth Wilcox

This is a beautiful concert hall! It's very easy to get to, whether you pay to park right across the street or at the expo center next door, or you take Trax to the Temple Square stop (in the free fare zone). If you really love the symphony, I recommend going to the lectures before performances, and arriving early to hear the live music in the lobby as well. Also, definitely look into Vivace! Nothing beats taking a free shuttle out to a local bar after the performance to visit with fellow symphony-goers and musicians!

Alex Lallas

The Utah Symphony last night was great. I'm glad those whom I was with were able to come. The staff were very helpful with what's needed.

Bradley Mountford

What a beautiful building! The acoustics are top notch. The only thing keeping me from giving five stars is the seat sizes. They really pack you in.

Chase Hathaway

Many years ago when I first started attending concerts I was a little disappointed on the "simpleness" of the design of the concert hall. However, in years since I have learn to love the venue and found that there are very few bad seats in the house. I love the hall and the concerts it hosts!

Brian Herschbach

We always have great time listening to great music. We have watched several movies with the symphony playing the music and it is a great show.

Christopher Scott

What an amazing venue. The Utah Symphony was superb. Their production of Home Alone was excellent!

Angie Carter

The music is always inspiring. Abravenel Hall is stunningly crafted. The Films in Concert series shows the artistic merit of the music in films. My husband and I love from scores, so this series is a perfect way for us to enjoy the symphony.

Michael Shodin

Utah Symphony is the best I've ever seen

Andrew D

Wonderful experience! The concert was fantastic and the acoustics were perfect. My only complaint is that picking up tickets from will-call was a total hassle.

rachel ruesch

great experience 😁 would highly recommend for anyone missing live performances. There are always fun events and talented performers …

Kody Adcock

Amazing acoustics in this theater. We witness the Salt Lake Symphony put on an incredible performance. The music was moving and the venue was beautiful and built with sound in mind.

Adam Ford

The Utah Symphony is one of my favorite activities in Salt Lake. Their sound clarity is one of the finest in the world. They always keep their playlist at a fine balance of classic and introduction of something new and off the beaten path. Great for the whole family.

Brian Smith

Always worth the visit and experience. Choose your favorite musical event and enjoy.

shawn argyle

We really LOVE Abravenal Hall. But in this show I could only see maybe 20% of the show because the people all around kept sitting forward & back. Oddly aggressively through the whole show. I finally gave up of seeing the show. I just sat & closed my eyes & pretended to be listening to the podcast. $70 a ticket down the drain. The ushers were very concerned if they thought people had a big purse. But the fact that most of the audience kept standing or at least standing on the front row of the 2nd tier so that the 2 rows behind or even 1st row farther than the stage super sucked. It broke my poor daughters heart.

Spencer Gardner

The Hall was comfortable – just the right temperature, lighting, and mood. The Utah Symphony didn't disappoint, either. Definitely a great date spot. The student discount was also a nice touch.

Nessa

Beautiful venue! We were blown away at how the sound carried. It didn't appear that there would be a bad seat, as it is a smaller, more intimate venue.

Jennie Bruce

Nice place and every seat has a good view. Just be warned that there are no isles. If you don't want to crawl over a million people sit on the far right or far left. If you don't want a million people crawling over you come really early and sit in the middle.

mark midgley

In some ways the venue is showing its age, but overall is holding up well. It is always a pleasure to see performances here. Bring a date an enjoy the music.

n o

This is such a TREASURE to the community!! The Abravanel Hall has brought the most amazing performances!! They have brought us from elementary school productions through Joshua Bell, Ann Murray,,, so many MANY more. We LOVE this place.

Kat Ivy McDaniel

Rhapsody in Blue was absolutely amazing!!! This new Unwound thing is going to catch on big time! Speakeasy theme this time, of course, because GERSHWIN! Complete with costumes, cash bar, gold fringe curtains, and meet the performers... Fantastic evening with two encores by the pianist!

Bobbie Williams

Great atmosphere, amazing staff, and very entertaining shows. If you love live orchestra and opera they have some of the most tallented people that you wish the show didn't have to end.

Christine Elgaaen

Very beautiful place went to an amazing concert with musicians from all over Utah! Classy place ❤

N Larsen

The symphony here is always great. The artist are very talented and in my opinion top notch for a city the size of Salt Lake. I can't recommend the Utah Symphony enough.

Pete

We came for Casting Crowns and the sound here was pretty good. The only drawback is the seating. With only one row of seats and no center aisle you end up having an inordinate number of people you have to let get by you

Micah Bruner

We had a fantastic time at a great field trip for my daughter's 5th grade class. The music and explanations were excellent and everyone had a great time. Thank you to the Utah Symphony for a great morning.

Heidi Spendlove

The Utah Symphony is so wonderful. Every evening is lovely, well programmed, and well rehearsed. Thierry Fischer is an excellent conductor - we are so lucky to have him conducting the symphony. I love Abravanel Hall.

Hannah Shipley Williams

The architecture of this concert hall is fantastic and I love coming here to listen to the Utah Symphony. They have a coat check that costs a dollar. Before some of the shows, they've had musicians performing in the lobby.

Leah Hokanson

A beautiful, very large concert hall that requires no amplification. The seats were comfortable, the temperature was comfortable, and we heard everything perfectly, even though we were near the back.

Nina Michelle Kitchen

The hall is absolutely beautiful and very well kept. It would be helpful if the staff members were all on the same page. It took three different staff member before they could find our will call tickets. Then because of that mix up we were a minute or two late. An usher started to take us in, then a different usher grabbed my arm and pulled me out saying I needed to wait until the applause. I tried to explain I was just following the other usher and my family but she kept saying I had to wait. I was bummed to be separated from my family and my husband had the tickets so I didn't know where they were sitting or anything. The other usher came back and let me in but it was just confusing. It would be good if all the ushers were on the same page.

Chip Browne

Awesome venue for our Utah Symphony. Music Transcends Here!

LC Williams

SLC's Utah Symphony is magnificent! Abravanel Hall is the beautiful venue for this renowned symphony -- and other entertainment. It boasts superb acoustics and chairs with ample leg room.

Andromeda

went to see a concert there. the sounds was so good!

Eric Treloar

Nice vintage music hall, lots of close by parking and great sounds. Seating is tight and could be much more comfortable. Clean and ok service. Would like more and better snack and drink options though!

Rosie Skinner

Such great acoustics! Such an elegant place for a performance. We saw Lamb of God here and it was incredible.

alicia smith

Great social distancing, the program was amazing, staff very friendly.

Greta Diaz

Beautiful place, nice and clean.

Raymond Jenkins

Great place to go to a concert. Nice space and good viewing from all seats

Carl Sarahs

Attended the SuperHero show which was an eclectic mix of Movie scores and soundtracks. Abravanel Hall was a comfortable place. Great show, fun and upbeat. Orchestra sounded great. Guest conductor was very good.

Maeve Barnum

Cool venue definitely recommend parking at city creek under Macey's and trying to get a voucher from a restaurant or store because parking is pricy

Michael Hasebroock

Very, very nice. Volunteered for a Dave Ramsey event in June and the site was great. Lots of nice seating, very comfortable atmosphere, well-trained, nice staff. Would definitely go again for any event in the future.

Gary Hawley

Staff were quick and helpful at the ticket office, concessions, and helping with seating. This is a glorious venue. Saw the Harry Potter presented with the symphony, and it was a magical experience.

N. Shane Cutler

Just finished the 75th season with a phenomenal performance of Mahler's 9th. I've had seats in every part of the hall over the years and there literally is not a bad seat in the house. And that orchestra!

Scott Carter

Watched Home Alone while the Symphony played the musical score in perfect synchronization. It was wonderful!

Francia Benson

The first line is way too close to the stage. You have to pull your head back in order to see what's going on in the stage. The smoke that's usually used in concerts gets in your face because of the closeness of your seat to the stage. I don't recommend buying a ticket for the first line.

Len Bahr

Calvary Chapel of SLC in Murray held their Easter Service celebration there today (4/21/19). It was my first visit to this beautiful building I found it to be an awesome venue for musical performances and fine arts events!

Zayd Ma

Beautiful building to listen to the Utah Symphony in. Acoustics are excellent and very few seats have an obstructed view (depends on show). Highly recommended!

Aaron Havens

Very beautiful place. The orchestra was a emotional experience that everyone should have. I loved it! My wife took me for a little date. Very good.

Sharon Cunningham

Bravo Utah Symphony Bravo!! It was truly a lovely evening. I was also fortunate to hear a new piece. It was very good. The gentleman said, it was a mixture of old and new. I believe it'll be a classic in the future as well.

Andrew Clark

Seated in arguably the most beautiful area of downtown Salt Lake, this hall was a wonderful place. The acoustics are perfect, the symphony was perfect, the performance was perfect. I'll be back.

JLH

Wonderful

Andrew Larson

A stunning, world class concert hall with a unique Chihuly installation in the foyer. Plenty of parking nearby makes this a wonderful destination for a night on the town.

Morris Farmer

Simply spectacular! We've been patrons of the symphony for nearly fifty years, we've seen, and continue to see some spectacular talent. Keep up the good work!

Layton Asmus

Beautiful building. I've never experienced any problems here (other than a single performance, but the location itself was perfect). I recommend coming to shows, and other events here if you have an opportunity.

Margaret Jackson

A beautiful location for a wonderful music experience. I would recommend them for all musical events.

Yvonne Fritz

Love this place such wonderful events! Celtic Women was amazing as usual keep bringing such special Talent here!! High Kings and Queens Six needs to be next!!!

Chandler Newby

I went to Abravanel Hall for the Harry Potter live orchestra concert and it was great! The hall itself was clean and well laid out. The decorations were interesting. Great place for concerts.

Nate Gracey

Amazing venue. We loved seeing jerry Seinfeld here.

Charmaine Gallenson

When they're for the pop concert for the celebration of the 24th always enjoyed the bravo now hall easy Access great to take the trucks downtown drops you off no sense in trying to drive your car so just any time there's something going on enjoy taking the tracks to Abravanel Hall

Steve Weiss

This is one of the best venues for great music always feel great after the shows

Emily Rockwood

We love going to Abavanel Hall! It is a beautiful place. The gold- plated walls and sculpture in the foyer are amazing. The Utah Symphony is incredible to hear as well.

Julie Holbrook

Absolutely beautiful venue! Every detail is stunning, and there is so much legroom in every row. The Acoustics are phenomenal as well.

Marty Wang

Perfomance during the pandemic is quite a surreal experience. Plenty of space between patrons and also between the musicians. They changed up the format for safety reasons but it still is fantastic as always.

Michael Beppu

Saw and heard an excellent show. Sitting in back, second tier, sound was great. Thank you Utah Symphony.

Robert Hilke

Fantastic music auditorium and concrete with the Utah Symphony. Love their music! And love the Abravanel Hall!

D Cow

Went for Star Wars. It was fantastic and so well done.

A. Nakamura

It's a pretty place but they have NO idea how to efficiently handle security. Waiting 25 min in the cold to get wanded is a joke and also made it so that anyone who didn't show up 20-30 min early couldn't get in till 20 min after the show was supposed to start.

Matt S.

I've been to this venue for many performances. It's a great theatre with spectacular art pieces, comfortable seats, and stunning acoustics.

Katherine Montoya

Really liked going to see a orchestra concert here. The only thing is they dont allow food or drink in the actual concert hall, so you have to eat it all out in the main entrance.

Terry Broadbent

Abravanel Hall provides a wonderful concert experience with great acoustics. We especially enjoy Utah Symphony Orchestra performances here.

Brent Jensen

Great venue for the Symphony.

Norrad

We sat on the side seats, Section C of Tier 1. Great seats, wonderful view of the concert. The Brown Family was amazing!!

Kerry Moore

Beautiful venue. Unique architecture. High class performances. The Utah Symphony is seriously one of the greatest in the country.

Alysia LeFevre

We saw the Nightmare Before Christmas symphony. It was spectacular besides people talking during the end credits performance. They ask you to shut off your cell phones (or put them on silent). They should ask people to shut their mouths and clap AFTER the end credits. Just because the movie is over doesn't mean the performance is.

Jess Winkler

Salt Lake gem! We are Wasatch Speaker Series members and get the joy of visiting Abravanel almost every month. They finally take cards at the refreshment counter, just remember that only bottled water is allowed in the concert hall. The Chihuly sculpture in the lobby is stunning.

The Dank Side of the Moon

Amazing venue, our experience was well worth the money. The composer was fantastic!

Chris Fassler

Abravanel Hall is a lovely venue, with great acoustics, comfortable seating, and an amazing lobby. The Utah Symphony is a treasure of talented artists creating beauty.

Dan Jessop

Needs remodel. Bathrooms leaking and in disrepair. The seats in the concert very worn. Cushions uncomfortable and not solid. Music was ok

Cliff Harris

Fabulous venue for our Easter celebration presenting Lamb of God! We filled every seat plus had 150 people who stood in the lobby and watched the concert on video!

Joan Harris

Among other artists, the Utah Symphony plays in this beautiful venue with outstnding acoustics. We loved their recent Brahms concert!

Alex Makowski

My partner and I come to see Harry Potter here and it was amazing! The Utah symphony was incredible and the staff within the hall were incredibly kind.

David Cardon

Abavanel Hall is one of the aucoustically best concert halls in the country. The architecture is very beautiful. It's a fantastic place to go to a concert by the Utah Symphony.

Martijn van Exel

Wonderful concert hall. The Utah Symphony Orchestra is the only full time symphony orchestra in the Intermountain West I believe! We are lucky to have them, and this venue, in SLC.

Jacob Hunt

Beautiful interiors and amazing acoustics. Please support the arts in Salt Lake city and if you have the opportunity, come to Abravanel Hall.

Charlotte Thaler

Best hall by far! The preformers are wonderful and the staff us so very kind to the performers! I wish this hall to never fade away for it is a place of magic and wonder.

Timothy Long

If you have a chance to go, just go. I've been to a number of performances there from their Film In Concert, Masterwork, and Entertainment series. Loved everyone one of them.

DeAnna Mortimer

Great venue! Its AWESOME what the Utah Symphony does for the Special Needs community and their families! We look forward to this every year!

Lorry Norton

Such a beautiful venue! Every seat is a good seat. The Utah Symphony is awesome every time. Love coming here.

John Davis

Great acoustics. Utah symphony is amazing.

Margie Brunn

Enjoyed experiencing live music after so many months. Thierry Fischer is the best conductor. Thx for the music!

Stephen Whitchurch

Loved singing here. The acoustics are amazing.

Sonny lam

Great place to enjoy the weekend, wonderful Utah symphony and all the guest performance throughout the year. Very warm and friendly atmosphere.

Michelle Barnett

Always a lovely day to go to the symphony. The hall is so lovely, though slightly dated, that just adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the whole place. Staff and service were excellent, as always. I'll be returning as soon as I can.

Amazing songs! Saw a couple friends as well. If only they could do video game songs I would be down! I would probably go with friends because it is fun that way.

Jake Law

Fantastic all around, the seating is great, the people are great. The only downfall is the acoustics. I have heard much better resonance in many other venues.

Dustin Roberts

I have always enjoyed my visits to Abravanel Hall, it's a beautiful building with a great symphony. The only small complaint I have is buying tickets online, it's hard to get an idea of your view and where the seats are situated.

Scott Crowford

I have not had a bad experience here yet! Wonderful acoustics, well taken care of and the shows are always great regardless of the genre.

Hyun Sung Cho

Very clean and gorgeous hall in Salt Lake. Utah Symphony is the one of best orchestras. You may enjoy performance of romantic music in romantic hall.

Would recommend this classy and sophisticated venue for any show.

Who doesn't love Abravanel Hall?!?!? My ONE complaint is the seats. They are nice, well taken care of but they are small in width and so close to each other. It is quite uncomfortable when sitting for an extended period of time.

Carrie Eddy

Great evening listening to Women Rock performed by women. Very well done! The workers were friendly, sound fabulous, great music.

Tori

This is such a beautiful hall! I've always thoroughly enjoyed every show I have been here to see.

Beautiful venue, but 1 elevator is not enough to handle all of the people who can't navigate the stairs.

Jim Stump

Was a very nice venue for a concert. It was a little small for a big concert and the seats seemed a little cramped. All in all it was a good experience.

The show was great, the building and acoustics are awesome. The flow of people and obliviousness toward others before the show was pretty crazy.

While the show was great the lack of sufficient and open will call windows and staffing within that area was ridiculous. Bill Engvall was hilarious and kept the jokes coming...

My wife is disabled and in a wheelchair we were given handicapped seating then was told to move to a place where there was very little room for her to move. I was livid but held my temper in check because our son was graduating colledge.
