Reviews of Sanders Theatre
Went here to see Randall Munroe talk about his new book, "What If? 2". The theater is beautiful, full of stained glass and stone and wood. The seats were somewhat uncomfortable, but it was worth it for me in this case.
Sanders Theatre at Harvard University has a warm wood interior that produces lovely acoustics. It is a beautiful location that has classes, plays, concerts, and lectures.
Wonderful experience, great seating. Enjoyed the Indian classical night.
Wonderful venue. Great sound. Beautiful.
Currently under construction, most likely some renovations, but it still looked amazing on the outside. It's a site to see if you ever tour Harvard.
This is a beautiful space, with lovely acoustics. The views from the balcony seats on the extreme left and right aren't great though.
Of all the Harvard buildings, this is the most well known, the most elaborate and the most worth visiting. This place is an architectural wonder to say the leave. The level of detail in virtually all ornamentary works breathtaking. The color palette is bewildering. And the wood-work is fantastic! Don't forget to grab a shot of the tinted glass set in a dark backdrop!
Amazing place ! If you ever saw a show or play here I’m sure it was one of a kind !
Great classical choral concert. The space is nice, old style wooden pews.
Joyful. Lively. Latin. Details. Terracotta features. Romanesque Architecture.
Concert was fantasic. And Ms Amanda Forsyte incredable
The building is a beautiful architectured. It is a Harvard landmark, a historic landmark. It is open to the public. If you are visiting Harvard you would want to spend some time here enjoy this piece of fine art, a must see place! It built in 1870s. The Harvard Statur was originally installed west front of the building, but later it got moved to its current location on the west side of university hall. The Memorial Hall now is used as dining hall or for events.
This place is amazing. I could have visited just because a friend of mine let me in.
We go there on concerts of Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. The atmosphere is amazing. It's a small hall where you can see musicians even from the last row.
I have a student ID and buy two tickets for $10 each. And I can watch here concerts that are played in Boston Philharmonic Orchestra for much higher price.
The architectural design is like no other! It was truly a pleasure being present for Harvard's 2018 Graduation Commencement. And I even had the chance to take a peep at ‘Hogwarts’ on campus!
Beautiful theater! Amazing experience at intimate concerts. No drinks or food allowed inside the theater.
Harry Porter style theatre turned lecture hall in the New World. Come and have a look!
Saw the Revels here. Great venue and event.
What a place to visit! It's fun just to walk around inside the lobby and the theater and admire the amazing woodwork. But it's another experience altogether to see a show here.
Absolutely beautiful venue with great acoustics. Can't wait to go back.
Beautiful building with wonderful acoustics in the auditorium.
Very impressive that this belongs to the university and classes take place here.
An amazing place with great athmosphere and events!
Performing arts and lecture hall, mainly showcases Harvard artists
Gorgeous old church turned into a theatre on the edge of Harvard Square. The venue is small and all seats are good. They offer parking for certain events, but you can usually find street parking if you're willing to walk a couple of blocks. Definitely not enough women's bathrooms!!!
Cool old theater with bench seating.
I saw a production of The Revels here, my first time and was blown away by the music, the audience participation, the costume, actors and sets!! The theater itself was lovely and BIG with great acoustics! It was so so much fun!! Also, I had been to Sanders once or twice before!😋👍 …
visit the place back 2012 great building architecture
Beautiful theater that hosts many performances, student or not, conferences, musicians, etc. They also hold the beginning presentation parts of the Harvard University tours in this theater. The architecture is very beautiful and the design inside and outside is simply stunning.
Came here for the Christmas Revels and it was fantastic. Sanders Theater in the hall was perfect for it because at one point you leave and go into the entrance hall. The hall looks very old, but well maintained, so it went perfect with the play being centered in the 1800s.
Good space for filling with sound!
While the theater was quaint and full of history, the interview and launch of Randall Munroe's new book, "how to" was the main attraction. For XKCD fans this is an event not to be missed with humorous anecdotes on the research behind the book to some personal stories from Randall. No individual seats at the theater, just benches and the seating is tight, but well worth it for the event.
Feels intimate and the show was well done. Could see evidence of show lighting and sound system that could provide most of what one would expect. Building is amazing wood and stone work. A bit limited on leg room.
Vast auditorium and great accustoms. You have tone lucky to attend lectures here by eminent professors. My daughter had that privilege! Visit to Harvard is not complete if you didn't see this place. Stained glass interior decorations and wooden floor are beyond description!
This is amazing. If you're lucky as a student CS50 gets taught there. I remember watching Sandel's philosophy class on YouTube before my time here and I was always impressed by the space even if I had never been there. It is an amazing theatre, and sometimes they have public events here. If you're in the area, don't miss them.

That's a nice place The architectural design is like no other! It was truly a pleasure being present for Harvard's 2018 Graduation Commencement. And I even had the chance to take a peep at ‘Hogwarts’ on campus!
Great timbered hall in a Victorian Gothic building. I loved the accustic of Sanders theater during a violin concerto. Many of the seats have obstructed views of the stage. Choose your ticket carefully.
It is old but we'll maintained, the staff is friendly and accommodating. The bench seating is reasonably comfortable but the spacing is tight, so be prepared
The interior is lovely and very well maintained.
Got tickets for the Sutton Foster show to take my visually impaired brother. Bob and everyone at the box office were so incredibly helpful in getting us visually impaired seats. The venue is spectacular! Customer service A+! Thanks, Bob :-)
I have only seen the Revels here but the theater and lobby are gorgeous and worth the cost of a show to see. The small, hard, densely packed seating will not bother you once you get a look around the theater. Very intimate stage. It is handicap accessable but as most places at Harvard, limited areas are accessable. The bathrooms are in the basement which, amazingly, does have elevator access. So, if you need disability access, Harvard publishes a map online. Looking at that prior to your trip is advisable. I also noticed that the lobby is standing room only and there were a few people with walkers who were forced to wait in the lobby, without access to a seat. So, make sure to read Harvards disability access policies and plan accordingly.
Gorgeous theatre with excellent sight lines and acoustics from every seat, and free garage parking nearby. Also attracts some of the best acts, especially Christmas Revels.
Interesting venue, but not my first choice for a concert. Acoustics are not the best and the seats are among the most uncomfortable in Cambridge. Prefer several other sites for a two hour concert.
This place is extroidanary! I wanted to go see the inside, ALL of the inside all the way to the top. Annenburg Hall is adjacent and we snuck into there for a minute but got kicked out shortly after lol... The hall is now a freshman only dining hall.
Located in Harvard yard, used to be a church. Wonderful concert hall with good acoustics. Not too big to be intimidating but good size even for big performances.
Very tidy and beautiful building. Friendly staff and interesting New Year Concert with champagne reception. A sweet memory for year 2019.
Great place to perform and watch shows
I apologize for the previous review posted, that was intended for another place... Sanders Theatre has amazing architecture and the sense of history oozes out of its pores... It is a MUST see if you are the Boston area!!!
Beautiful old building, great acoustics, poor sight lines, and super tight seating. Performance on NY eve by Boston Baroque was superb.
No lecture can be bad in this place.
at Harvard Yard or old yard The dinning hall of the students from Harvard university. harvard id please to harry potters dinner house
Public can't always enter but it's a beautiful building you should definitely check out if you are in the area.
Great place for small venue performances
Saw/ heard Beethoven's Violin Concerto by a somewhat lesser know orchestra who did a fine, no, wonderful rendition.
First time there. Very impressed with the sound system. Theatre sitting arrangement is great no obstruction. Totally would go there again.
Small but good place to hear Symphony music by the Boston youth Symphony Orchestra which play there twice a year must go of you can het a ticket for the Opera which happens on January of each year
You are in for a wonderful treat and wonderful music played by the Boston youth sympathy Orchestra must give them a fabulous hand.
Sanders Theater is a great place to enjoy musical performances. The theater hosts aw wide range of genres of music. The architecture and the acoustics combine for a great experience.
Beautiful architecture, interior is a memorial to Harvard students who died in the Civil War. I go annually for the Revels, which is an excellent exploration of cultural celebrations of Christmas and the winter solstice
Amazing building. Loved the architecture!
It is a sublime structure, with incredible glasswork. Golden hour is the best, to enjoy it from inside. Important moments in history took place here.
This is a beautiful venue with nice acoustic. Even from the back row of the balcony, the music is clear and audible and the musicians are visible.
Attended a tabla-flute classical show at Sanders. Ambience was phenomenal. Public restrooms are located at basement, was a little difficult to find initially, amidst the crowd.
Oh, wonderful ambience. Historic hall, and mostly classical art forms are performed here. If you get a chance, it's a must visit. 😊 …
A historical biulding in Harvard. It was under a official Harvard tour.
The dinning hall of the students from Harvard university. Public can't always enter but it's a beautiful building you should definitely check out if you are in the area.
Acoustics, old-world, artisanal wood detail and quality, views of and proximity to presenters make this space intimate and inviting, majestic and imposing at once
A great place to enjoy both student performances and professional performances. The acoustics here could definitely better, but the beauty of the place makes up for that.
Always a pleasure to be in this beautiful traditional Hall. The sound is wonderful and the seating is flexible. Easy to get to from public transportation
Be prepared for stairs! The sound quality here is amazing, and the intimate setting makes you feel so close to the performance.
I love the acoustics. Outside of listening to the Boston Philharmonic, The Great Debate was filmed in this theatre.
Cs50 is a wonderful experience! Sanders Theater is a gem. Harvard yard at 4:00 pm is simply amazing!
It was a good time. Beautiful theater. I took a photo but I was told not to by an usher. Oh well.
This is my favorite theater -- we see the Revels here every year and the acoustics are perfect.
An amazing church converted theatre that looks and feels like an old theatre in UK. You can feel an impressive history of the place.
I go there to hear concerts and lectures, but,t the building is so beautiful, its worth going to just take in its majesty.
Historic, yet functional.
Beautiful wood paneling. Cozy seating. Somewhat small. Warm. Historic. Harvard square.
Great theatrical venue, with the exception of the bathrooms, of which there are far too few.
Love the setting, but the seating is designed for when people were 5'2" and 120lbs.
Revels is always a joyous way to start the Christmas season. Or whole family loves it and can't wait to come back the following year.
Excellent venue and great performances!
Best college place and arts center in Harvard
Great old playhouse/live theater. Did I say; at Harvard. The only way I'd get in is to buy a ticket. Good experience!
Gorgeous venue. Seating is tight but comfortable enough to sit for a few hours.

(Translation) Ig Nobel Pride ceremony. Once a year you can buy tickets and check this. It was really fun. The idea behind his research is to first make people laugh, then make them think. You won't win any money, you have to pay for your trip yourself. If you have the opportunity, go and listen. Nice environment and very entertaining
(Original)
Ig Nobel Pride cermony. En gång per år kan man köpa biljetter och kolla på detta. Det var riktigt roligt. Idén med sin forskning är att man först ska få folk att skratta sedan få dem att tänka efter. Man vinner inga pengar man får bekosta sin resa själv. Här ni möjlighet så gå och lyssna. Fin miljö och mycket underhållande

(Translation) March 9, 2017 Visit at the performance of Vijay Iyer Sextet.
I secured the ticket on the web in Japan, but I was relieved because I could decide the seat while checking the seat map.
Since it was my first time visiting Boston, I went to Harvard during the day before to check the location and issue a ticket, but it was an operation at the venue on the day.
"Walking on Earth" only mentions the Memorial Hall, but it seems to be unified at the Sanders Theater in the local area.
The building was Gothic and the stained glass inside was impressive.
The capacity (about 1,000 seats) was moderate as a concert hall, and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the acoustic sound.
If you go out from Harvard Square Subway Station to the ground and go through the university campus, it's about a 5 minute walk, so it's worth a quick stop even if you don't plan to go to a concert.
(Original)
17年3月9日 Vijay Iyer Sextetの公演で訪問。
チケットは日本にてwebで確保したが、シートMapをチェックしながら席を決められるので安心できた。
ボストンを訪れるのは初めてだったため、前日の昼間にハーバードまで出向き場所の確認とチケットも発券してもらおうとしたが、当日会場にてというオペレーションだった。
「地球の歩き方」には単に記念ホール(Memorial Hall)としか記載されていないが、地元ではサンダース・シアターで統一されているようだ。
建物はゴシック様式で内部のステンドグラスが印象的だった。
コンサートホールとしては程よいキャパシティ(約1,000席)で、音響的にもなかなかアコースティックな音色を堪能できた。
地下鉄ハーバード・スクエア駅から地上に出て、大学構内を通り抜ければ徒歩5分程度なので、コンサートに行く予定がなくてもチラッと寄ってみるだけの価値はあると思う。
