Reviews of David Geffen Hall

Joe Schilp

Attended Harry Connick Jr. Concert right after Thanksgiving and the theater has just complete ld a major renovation. The lobby is massive with comfortable seating if you have to wait for a show. Entry is easy. Seating is comfortable. The acoustics are amazing. Beautiful theater and an outstanding job on the renovation

Youngjin Lee

The concert hall was nice in every way. But it being new means that the ushers are new as well? They didnt do their job well. Especially the usher on the 1st tier righthand side. Also while the orchestra is playing, i could look down and see audience keep walking around in the orchestra section, and some are using cellphones with possibly the brightest light . The ushers inside the hall definitely need more training. And I really do not understand the idea of gender neutral restroom in the lobby.

Adati Tarfa

Amazing opening weekend! The location is great! Enjoyed going through the hall and all the options there are for viewings. Will totally recommend you join the listserv.

Nicola Pannacci

I attended “Emanuel Ax, Beethoven, and The Year 1917” on Dec, 2nd and I was really amazed by the renovation made to the hall. Acoustics absolutely perfect: you can hear a single element playing even if you’re sitting far away from the stage. I suggest to attend at least once even if you’re not fond of classical music because you’ll feel surrounded by every note.

Justin Burgess

A great experience in a great theater. The seats weren’t “too small” like many on Broadway. The performance was amazing. Everything one might ask for.

Carol Smith

The refurbished concert hall has improved acoustics. For those of us who sit in the 3rd tier, the new 3rd tier is a huge disappointment. In fact, I will never buy tickets for this seaing again. The cages on the ceiling are too much in the view of the audience. The seats have a wood addition on the back that people sitting behind you constantly hit with their feet. Outside the concert hall, the restrooms have been reduced to 1 toilet in 2 separate rooms (long lines), no place to sit and chat with friends, dark wood which makes you feel closed in, windows to the wonderful plaza closed off so that no view of the outside is possible. The concert experience includes the whole experience. Going to the 3rd tier is unfriendly and depressing.

DJF

The grand reopening was jam packed with aficionados of jazz. The venue theater was sparkling clean and the sound was amazing...and we were far up in the 3rd tier. I can't imagine any "bad" seats here. Looking forward to many more concerts and special events!

Aaron Montanez

The reopening of this hall has been underway for quite some time, and the improvements they've made are extraordinary. Lincoln Center has put emphasis on being inclusive to everyone and anyone, with features such as all-gender bathrooms, increased wheelchair accessibility, as well as increased compatibility with hearing aids for people with hearing disabilities. Apart from that, the performances are always amazing, and the sound is immaculate!

Brian Ferdman

The acoustics are incredible, but do not sit in the upper tier on the sides toward the stage. These seats do not turn. Instead, they face straight ahead. This makes no logical sense, especially when the seats on the side on lower tiers are facing the stage. It seems as though these seats on the side on the upper tier were intentionally designed to give you an uncomfortable view of the stage. They are definitely only intended for single patrons.

Dibyo Basu

This is an amazing auditorium. Great acoustics and really great seats. There are bars right outside if you want a drink during a show.

Bill Swersey

The renovated hall is a revelation! You have to hear it to believe it!

Raphaelle Haimowitz

I loved sitting on the side, above the orchestra. A wonderful way to experience a concert even if there was so little leg room I couldn't cross my legs.

Vladimir Salomon

They did a wonderful job in renovating the seats. Last time I was in there was nearly 20 years. No bad views. Always world class performances.

Eileen Schroder

Music was great! But you can't easily get to the subway. And it was pouring rain so we got soaked. There is no indoor way and the escalator we were told to use was out of order. Not a great way to end the evening.

Pierce Sioussat

Seats at the front of the first tier are still tight and require some neck twisting. Patron lounge is way too small for the number of folks using it. Acoustics are much improved with only a few noticeable holes.

Joseph DeSanto Jr

The David Geffen Hall was constructed to hear the acoustic sounds from the symphony in an extraordinary way. Lincoln Center is a great place to visit and the Hall is a class act whatever may be headlined.

Lou Rizzo

Wonderful place to see the NY Philharmonic. Seats are comfortable, every seat has a good view. Security is slow and creates long lines. We were allowed up 30 minutes before the show. Should have been letting people up earlier. Bathrooms are small and and there can be long lines for bathrooms and drinks at intermission. The best part about upstairs is stepping out in the outdoor balcony looking out over Lincoln Center. It’s a great spot for a picture. Try dinner downstairs and parking underneath. It’s convenient.

Garrett Nuttall

Excellent overall experience, saw the New Philharmonic preform Strauss Alpine sinfonie. It was absolutely mind blowing, it was my first Symphony and I will be coming back again.

James Leung

Great acoustics in this stage. We came here for the lunar new year performance with lu yiwen and were absolutely amazed.

A.C. Antonelli

David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center is a phenomenal place to see a show. The view of the stage is great throughout, the acoustics are impeccable, and the quality of performances here (e.g. the New York Philharmonic) are world-renowned.

Shauna Stoltz-Laurie

By George they've got it! Finally. I now go to Carnegie & wish I was seeing it at Geffen. The programs are so exhileratingly crafted. Run don't walk

Katie Lee

Love this place all that time!!! My husband and I went here last night for enjoying NY Philharmonic orchestra. Last night they played Beethoven and Mozart. It was F A N T A S T I C !!! We really enjoyed that wellknowned classic music. Especially, it was the first snowy day of 2017 in nyc. For perfect dating place and music!

Thomas Flynn

Extraordinary acoustics for the Gala concert, NY Phil in full glory with 97 musicians along with Juilliard Chorus! A joy to behold; NYC has a world class concert hall!

Joyce Zaritsky

Hello: I am thrilled with the new hall and experienced a concert there on Sunday, October 23 in which the renowned and wonderful NY Philharmonic played. I am writing because on Monday eve I attended Tosca at the Met and because it was raining and I was early I sat in the lounge at the Geffen Theater. I was appalled by the "elevator" music that was playing. It was straight out of Walgreens. Wouldn't you think that the home of probably the best orchestra in this country would have classical music playing preferably by the NY Philharmonic. ? I was sitting with some other people who were also very disappointed and surprised. Why? Who chooses the background music for this lounge? Why "elevator" music sung by pop stars? Please - this lounge should be a respite from the ubiquitous pop music many of us are subjected to so much of the time. At least, the DAvid Geffen lounge should provide us with classical music and why not recordings of the NY Philharmonic or others? A very disappointed music lover of classical music: JOyce Zaritsky

Anthony Ptak

It's part of Lincoln Center. Some issue with the elevator at the time, so I'm going to say generally accessible for some, but I am am not assured by the way the situation was explained to me. Acoustics are still booming and the seating is cinema type velour. It's a hall, not going to argue Lincoln Center is legendary. Used to be called Avery Fisher Hall. What the name change for a pop culture icon does for the future is tough to say at this point.

Emily

Good acoustics. Comfortable seats. Excellent screen allows everyone to e up close.

DANNY KidSuper LIN

Pretty solid place to see the NY philharmonic performance. Reasonable pre show drinks also. Subway station is conveniently located under the hall so was especially nice during the evening downpour after the concert.

Ryan C. Zerfas

So gorgeous and the sound is state of the art. Great selection of shows. Can't go wrong

Andy Schwarz

Mostly Mozart is a summer tradition in NYC. A beautiful and acoustically perfect place to enjoy fine classical music.

Danny Littwin

Newly redone concert venue, home of the NY Philharmonic. Lovely room, great sound.

Craig Nisperos

One of the top music halls in town. Saw the London Symphony Orchestra perform Mahler’s Symphony No. 9. Inside not as fancy as The Met Opera, but great nevertheless. Tip: bathrooms on first tier floor have shorter lines ;)

Wilmer Fiorentino

Watched the philharmonic play the Jurassic Park soundtrack alongside the movie. It was like watching the movie for the first time all over again!

Boaz BaiLin He

Very nice music hall! Good room acoustic. But I personally think it can have better sound system for people sitting far a way.

Tim Butz

Great venue for symphony concerts. Good balance in the hall, and even seats on the side like ours afford good sight lines. As a first-time attendee, it was a bit confusing finding my way to my seat, but staff was quick to help.

Simone Sensi

A marvelous concert hall now, best acoustics i ever experienced

Laura Jones

Beautifully renovated space. Saw a wonderful performance. Looking forward to going back.

Craig denHartog

Great hall for a great day. Congratulations Michelle. Great job Touro College and staff on site choice and smooth execution.

The Crow

First visit to Lincoln Center. Very ritzy and pricey outing, but glad I went. Love the fountains outside after the show on a moonlit night.

Joseph Schachner

Excellent sound and the NY Philharmonic is just excellent. There is no other word. Beautiful performance drawn forth by the conductor, the orchestra was responsive and incredibly accurate, synchronized, just about perfect.

lyle crawford

Amazing classical concert...the venue is amazing as well

Nan Ding

Outstanding performance and nice concert hall.

James Kelly

Great venue. Seating in the boxes and be a little iffy if you want to see the stage and acoustics take a little bit if a hit. Personally, I prefer sitting in one of the center tier sections... if you can get the front row it's fantastic. If you're 35 or under, don't miss the program they offer to get $35 tickets (available in most sections) when you buy 3 tickets. The tickets don't all need to be for the same show.

Shad Ronayne

Fun night watching Psycho, the conductor's intro was super fun and set the crowd's mood for the evening. Excellent performance, maybe Trouble with Harry next autumn ;-)

Dave C

Had a Good time watching my brother perform and make history at the same time.

Juancy Rodríguez

A fantastic symphony space with amazing acoustics. A staple of New York city culture. Beautiful place.

Nathan Kline

The 2022 renovation is sleek and stunning, and the excellence of the NYPhil can’t be denied.

Sisco Muniz

It was an awesome experience to hear the Philharmonic Orchestra live. They sounded so amazing.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 …

Cwe01

Beautifully redone. The temple of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

Amy Victoria McEwen

My friend and I visited this Hall to eat at the excellent restaurant there called "The Kitchen", before we went to the Metropolitan Opera. The restaurant is excellent - we invariably order the salmon, which is always perfectly cooked and delicious, and the desserts are wonderful too. David Geffen Hall is also the main location for performances by The New York Philharmonic, and the Mostly Mozart festival, as well as the White Light Festival, and it is a wonderful concert Hall in which to attend concerts. It is spacious, well laid out, and comfortable. The acoustical elements were recently upgraded, and I find them quite impressive. Thus, this Hall receives five stars both for the restaurant and for the concerts!!!

Joshua Fagan

Elegant, classy, and lavish. The acoustics are fantastic. The music sounds so layered, rich, and evocative. One doesn't need to be tight at the front to hear the music well. The venue itself is almost reason enough to come here. It's so grandiose and wondrous- fitting for a place that so radiantly appreciates music as the high art that it is.

Jason Butler

Great place to see a show. Only too few bathrooms. Try the balcony over LC during intermission awesome view.

Cadee Qiu

It's a beautiful hall home to an amazing orchestra, but don't sit in the back of the orchestra because the hall is very dead. Try sitting in a box, the high brass, piano, and woodwinds cut through really well. The sound is a lot clearer from the box, even though it's further back than middle/back orchestra. Highly recommend going, just don't have high hopes for the acoustics of this place, focus on the musicians instead and you won't be disappointed.

Leon Basiaga

My question was how does one dress for a movie/orchestra event... I wore a suit but business casual would have been fine.

Ulanbek A.

fantastic sound snd cosy chairs. The concert hall is great for classical music

Altagracia Rodriguez

Spectacular Handel Messiah, next time seating downstairs cause the upstairs too uncomfortable

Corbin J. Standley

Really fantastic space with great acoustics

Ernie Strauss

Beautiful. Concert was world class.

Christopher Monson

A great music hall which is hard to judge separately from the fantastic NY Philharmonic that calls it home. The staff are courteous. The lobby is nice. The hall itself is in need of a remodel, which thankfully is planned to happen in the next several years. The layout of the seating is essentially an enormous orchestra level that stretches quite far away from the stage in a long rectangle. There are three small, two-row balconies lining the sides and a small section at each tier in the far back. The acoustics are fine, but the layout makes balancing being able to resolve anything on stage with being able to see everything at the same time. The upper levels are only accessible by stairs or one crowded elevator. The bathrooms are large and numerous.

Jacquez Gordon

It was a pleasant experience. Our first time seeing the New York Philharmonic so there were high expectations given their reputation. Even more so given the nature of their performance that night - Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone. As long time, die-hard fans since childhood, the opportunity to see the movie with live music was ... well, magical. I hope they decide to do the rest of the films in the same fashion.

Nona Vestal

Went to the rehearsal of the Mozart Festival. The orchestra was phenomenal and the soprano was wonderfully divine. The arias were crisp and heavenly smooth. They served refreshments before the performances and the restrooms were clean and accessible. Very comfortable seating. The check in process was effortless.

Wallace Flores

Such a beautiful hall! Sound is gorgeous!

Chaitanya Halbe

Great venue to hear and see the amazing New York Philharmonic. The acoustics in the orchestra 2 section are good. The seats however are not staggered, so a if a tall person sits in front of you, the view is obstructed.

Arie Sagi

Very nice hall One of the best orchestra in the World

Josué González

One of the most impresive music halls of the world. Home of the New York Philarmonic Orchestra.

Martin Hawley

We had an excellent time at the Mozart festival.

Amandeep Kalra

Great venue to watch the New York philharmonic!

Prasad Jape

David Geffen Hall is a part of Lincoln Center. Subway 1 is very convenient as it connects internally to the building, which is very helpful during winter.

Chad Kraus

Beautiful concert hall and always a pleasure to see and hear classical performances at the legendary Lincoln Center. You feel a part of history when going to a concert at this beautiful performing arts center. I last saw a concert here of Handel's Messiah and it was lovely. It was also nice to see a wide range of various types of people in attendance.

Frank R

A classic New York experience. The hall is iconic, the New York Philharmonic is one of the best in the world. Students tickets are available at a very reasonable price. It's a great way to spend an evening and fyi for those who worry about these things, casual dress is appropriate. Just enjoy the music.

Raphaela J

Young people's concert was pretty amazing. They were able to turn one song into an hour long, interesting, fascinating and captivating experience. We learned about the different layers of music, different musical expressions and left enchanted!

David Corbin

Nice venue and seating arrangements.

Paul Horstmann

The performance we saw was excellent. However the box seating leaves something to be desired, as the safety rail cuts through your filed of view. It's not bad, but is noticeable.

Dolores Brandon

The concert was wonderful (Budapest Festival Orchestra Mahler program), but the hall itself needs refurbishing. Sight lines are terrible. I was in the Orchestra Row O. I could not see the solo featured vocalist because the seats are not staggered and there is no " rake" to the floor.

D B

Love the venue. Walk outside the theatre and take plenty of pics by the water fountain.

Chenge Liu

Had a great night at David Geffen Hall. Look forward to coming back another day.

Sue Campbell

Excellent hall, where I had the privilege of seeing Gustavo Dudamel conduct the NY Philharmonic. The sound was super and the seat, although in the third tier, allowed a decent view. After all, it was about the music.

MarkT Andrew

Great place to see ballet...

Steven Anderson

Experienced the Philharmonic's performance of The Messiah as a Christmas present to some of my family. What a thrill! A peak experience. Thank you for a perfectly executed symphony. Could not have been better. A memorable evening that will not be forgotten.

Richard Kaufman

Home of the NY Philharmonic. Joop rules. Saw Fire in My Mouth. VERY powerful.

CorreyHope Kustin

New York Philharmonic Music at it's finest. Every seat will equally hear the sounds of wonderful music from a live Orchestra. The maestro will preform with his wand and each section will go on his command. I am not a fan of classical music and the shows are just so amazing I keep going back for more. Prices vary and you can get into a rehearsal, if you can't afford a main show. If you haven't been here yet, it's time to Up close and personal.

Aidan Zampino

This place was an experience. I got box seats, which were outstanding. (I couldn't see the tuba players, though, which made me very sad). The sound carried to my seat very well, and the whole show was an experience I won't soon forget.

Jason Nickel

Always incredible seeing the New York Philharmonic. Truly a NYC gem and a treat. Do try and get here early if you're considering eating onsite (or even in the neighborhood). It's incredible, but everywhere just seems to be packed by about 6pm. Frankly it's a good thing if you think about it. Oh, and if you live in town consider a subscription; it's a great value (you get a break) and you'll snag better seats.

옥타브

One of the best music theaters you will find in the world. Awesome vibes, awesome people. You can find NYphil here, not much more to describe. I've seen so many concerts, orchestras, but NYphils performance today is going to be in my heart for a long time

Mark Boffa

I'm not sure if I'm rating the hall itself, or the performance(s) I saw in it. Either way, The hall is very goregous on the outside, even if a little plain on the inside. The New York Philharmonic of course is fantastic all the time, and if you ever have a chance to go, you should absolutely take it.

G Aquino

This venue for performances by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra is spacious, bright, and tidy overall. The performance itself was superb and totally worth our time and money. It was the first time I had seen a jazz-themed performance by any Philharmonic Orchestra. The only issue I had was the attitude shown by the rude middle-aged lady at the ticketing counter. When I said I wanted to retrieve my pre-booked tickets, she raised her voice (and fake eyebrows) and said, 'You mean pickup?' She threw the tickets at me when she finally found them.

Ethan Eckert

This is a very nice concert hall with and elegant restaurant on the first floor that appears to serve dinner before the concert. The long flights of stairs to get to the third and fourth floor seating areas was annoying. Seats were comfortable and marginally small.

Richard Rosenfeld

Magnificent sound. Magnificent site. There are not enough bathrooms to go around for intermission and the prices for food and beverages are insane. Parking there requires a second mortgage. Fountain in main plaza is beautiful...especially at night.

Caitlin Smith

I was running a bit late (but still on time) for an evening performance of the NY Philharmonic. A kind usher let me sit in the back row of the orchestra section in lieu of making me climb the steps to my cheap seats so that I wouldn't miss out on the show. Wonderful staff.

T C

Great big space for pop up magazine! The staff are kind, welcoming and helpful. Be prepared to go through a metal detector and wait on long lines for drinks. Event was a success and the space is nice and large for socializing and meeting new people.

David Chin

New York Philharmonic Orchestra performed the great sound track of Home Alone. We stopped for dinner at the Kitchen, right in Geffen Hall. I had the the short ribs which was incredibly tender and juicy. Because I could not spot a real, real kitchen, I can only assume (I could be wrong - but no matter) my meal was microwaved. But it was so good, it could have come out of a French Horn, and I still would have enjoyed it. I'd get it again. Happy holidays and Enjoy the show!

Dana Holmes

I love the NY Philharmonic and especially love their Young People's Concert series. The shows are fun, informative and the right length for kids. I always look forward to our conversation and me dates here. We get dressed up, go out for lunch and get a little taste of what makes living in New York City so special.

Meg Smith

A classic music hall. Handsome wood, warm decor, comfortable seats. A nice layout makes for easy viewing. Bathrooms are small, dated, and crowded during intermission. Definitely enjoy the tremendous New York Philharmonic if you can.

Jean Mumper

We enjoyed a great new experience -- watching the movie THE RED VIOLIN, on a huge screen, with a string orchestra playing the soundtrack live below the screen on the stage. The incredible Joshua Bell performanced the solos. What a wonderful experience!

Charles Soule

The hall badly needs the intended remodel. Compare to Alice Tully next door (a gem) and it's really aging, uncomfortable and mediocre. The NY Phil and other performers deserve so much more. Nice recent reconfiguration of the stage, with onstage seating on three sides. Is that permanent pending the renovation?

Aditya Saurabh

We saw a circus next to the hall. Big Apple Circus came back for show after bankruptcy. This show has been our annual go to spot with kids. Grandma 🤡 clown this year was unique. The trapeze show was jaw dropping. Kids loved the animals. Horses, ponies and dogs were a fun to watch. There was food outside. Come early for closer seats. Some fortunate audiences even got to participate with the clown.

Justin Kwiatkowski

I really enjoyed the performance here. Nice place to visit at Lincoln Center.

Tommy Smith

Great location. Parking was in the building and very reasonable for NYC. The seats were very comfortable with seemingly more space then I have seen in other NYC theaters.

Mandi Magnuson-Hung

We attended the January 26 concert by the New York Philharmonic. The music was quite well performed, and I loved Julia Wolf's "Fire in my Mouth" as well as the Copeland clarinet concerto featuring the brilliant Anthony McGill. It was a fantastic night of music. If you have any neck problems or back problems, make sure you're not sitting on the sides. Those seats just point directly back to the other side. The bathrooms were clean but are showing their age. None of this is enough to keep me from going again.

Peter Feldmann

The concert hall is fully forgettable from both architectural and acoustics perspectives. Nevertheless, it hosts many top quality musical events, great artists and artistic ensembles.

Larrolyn Ford

Beautiful performance hall. Arrive early for shows. The lobby can be a confusing mash of over a hundred people making. The staff makes sure things run smoothly but still.

Dave Sayles

Unique museum with unique contents. The house (which is an exhibit unto itself) is filled with self playing instruments. I'm not just taking about player pianos, I'm talking violins, organs, taxidermy birds, and all manner of instruments. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the area.

Nathan Miranda

A magical venue with performers to match. The music is a pleasure as well as the area - Lincoln Square is one of the most beautiful places in the city. Will come back soon!

Tanya Barrios

Beautiful! Great concert hall and even has a cafe in the fron part of the hall. The ushers are really nice and get you to your seat quickly. Fantastic performance venue!

neal cohen

Sound is good, all views excellent. This time sat behind orchestra. Interesting and close, but prefer to be looking at orchestra to pick out each instrument's sound

Dr. Yasmin Amico

Ah, the opera. The delicious food. The ambiance. Simply, divine. Buy your tickets early. Affordable chat and baggage check on the premises. Take a photo by the fountain. See Porgy & Bess. Posh attire. Dress up. Have fun.

Eric Craven

It's a pretty nice hall and architecturally interesting from the exterior, however their process for dealing with a large crowd of people trying to enter the theater leaves a lot to be desired. They appeared to be understaffed and the process was extremely chaotic.

B. Y.

Five stars for many of the I credible musicians that grave this hall, one star for the acoustics! Notoriously bad acoustics following the first remodel continue to plague Fisher/Geffen Hall, unless you are smack dab in the center of the orchestra. Looking forward to the latest, forthcoming remodel project. Tip: Lincoln Center offers discounts to a number of constituents, making great performances accessible to wide audiences.

Minority Report

Went here for a Beethoven sympony in May! Didn’t even know who David Geffen was, until my family and I were searching up movies later on and realized the building was named after him. And it is a nice building indeed.

JC Silva

In april 29/18, I have the privilege to enjoy Gustavo Dudamel and LA Philarmonic's concert. They play Beethoven's 9th Simphony and the NYC choral sung outstandin. It was marvelous! Good acustic, lights and ambience. The Hall looks quite old and a redecoration is necesary.

Carla Rupp

A beautiful hall where there are many events, mostly music. My son even had his graduation here. I have heard the symphony rehearse here. There is a restaurant. Lots of variety.

Steve McCoy

The NY Philharmonic with it's world class musicians has a terrific performing space in David Geffen Hall (or Avery Fisher Hall for you throwback types). The seats could use some updating as they are getting a bit worn, but that's also a testament to the numbers of people who come to performances.

Jen Lagasse

I love this venue. I find the acoustics are sometimes actually better in the upper balcony cheap seats than the rear orchestra as the overhang seems to dampen sound.

Jessica Rainey

Excellent acoustics and a fabulous time

Kipchirchir Bitok

The views from the top tier side seating is quite uncomfortable to the neck. The chairs face forward, but the performance is either on your right or left depending on what side you are. Hence, you have to turn your neck to see the performance. This is quite uncomfortable after a while given that these performances can last for hours. Overall, a great place.

Michael Sonson

As a personal opinion as someone who's been on multiple tiers and on the orchestra floor, you know the seats that say "view obstructed" on the tiers? They're fine. There is no obstruction to your view.

Stacey Zimmerman

A wonderful program of classical music at the beautiful David Geffen Hall. Too bad our world demands security checks even in a musical palace like this. The music was soaring however and brought a bit of relief from the deep in winter blues on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

A.B.

Excellent experience. Great performance.

Erika

Went to the matinee performance of the New York City Ballet on Sunday and it was absolutely spectacular. This venue is a must-see for any NYC local or visitor alike!

Cynthia Fletcher

I had a pleasant evening listening to The Alpine Symphony by Strauss and a contemporary composition. Both pieces were well conducted and the horn section was especially amazing.

Brady Foust

Terrific venu and concert.

Anna Pavlova

Excellent overall experience, saw the New Philharmonic preform Strauss Alpine sinfonie.

pamela griffin

We loved our time in your Hall. We loved the performance Room Full Of Teeth, with the New York Philharmonic. It was a fabulous evening. Women sitting next to us, loved RFOT , she said their sound is wonderful. Thank you, Pamela Yingst Griffin

George Pappas

Great seating, recomend paying for the inhouse parking, your able to walk in from the garage into the haul via an elevator, night we came for the show it was pouring it was great not gave to walk from the outside.

Jeanie Jee

Lincoln Center home to the NY Philharmonic, the American Ballet, the Metropolitan Opera, the Film Institute, the Newhouse Playhouse and the Juilliard School. Within walking distance to the Jazz Center, Lincoln Center's annex at 59 St & Broadway. An aesthetic, architectural, and a tourist must-see performing arts center experience when visiting New York City !

D. Comanda

I had the opportunity to experience Carmina Burana one of my Absolute favorite pieces in one of my Absolute favorite places. our 200 great artists on stage ... Must see and hear for yourself!

Kirsten

I highly recommend second tier center for a superb sound and great view of the entire orchestra! Never once have I been disappointed in a performance here!!

S Cole

I work events here all the time. Very beautiful venue. Great views as well and definitely great to just walk around and enjoy during the summer

Derrick Davis

It's an awsome experience to visit this historic theater in upper west Manhattan, NY. The David Geffen Hall is a portion of this very large complex. If you're planning a trip to New York, you should make this a part of your visit.

John Seppala

If you love classical music, the New York Philharmonic rehearsals are the best deal around at $22 per ticket.

Len Keck

Professional Performing Arts High School Choir prior to the Handel's Messiah Sing In

Ken Naarden

New York's Premier concert venue. One of the great theaters of Lincoln Center .... the cultural Mecca for NYC events. A definite must-see for anyone visiting NYC!

Ed Chubin

Very nice theater in Lincoln center. It does not seem cut out for classical, but is probably good for other music.

For the love of Animals

Five star staff, the venue is nice, but as with most spaces, not enough toilets for women, line out the door and a short intermission make it a bit frustrating.

Doris Etlinger

I always had tears streaming down my face at the sheer beauty of talent emanating from that stage. I always felt so blessed to be able to buy a ticket. I live in the West and I absolutely love NYC.

Sionyc

A lot of beautiful performances occur here. Mostly orchestra and ballet. Usually crowded but not too much to enjoy the scenery.

Melissa Hernandez

Said the elevator was broken ( it was working) made me walk up four flights of marble steps, pregnant, in heels 🙄 …

Anna Chase

Beautifully redone. Sound was incredible.

Abica Percival

It was my graduation and it was beautiful. Great for pictures.

Angie Toussaint

The hall is gorgeous and the performances were epic.

Jerome Espinosa Baladad

I saw Semyon Bychkov conduct here with the debut here of the vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth one Friday afternoon. They performed Berio's Sinfonia for Eight Voices and Orchestra. Plus R. Strauss' Eine Alpensinfonie, Op. 64. Everything was beautiful and great in this setting.

Karen Moss

I look forward to returning to the scene of a wonderfully memorable meal last night at Avra on 14 E 60th. Having systemic nickel allergy syndrome, dining out is fraught with pitfalls. Few in the Foodservice industry know anything about it. After explaining to my server why I needed my fish simple grilled with absolutely no other ingredients, he returned a while later with a concerned manager, Steven Muntean. Steven immediately Google information about my allergy and immediately printed out key information. He came over to learn more and to make absolutely sure that I would have a wonderful meal and enjoyable time in spite of my food limitations. His genuine interest and passion for fulfilling a great meal at Avra for every guest is a quality that ripples to all diners. Complimented by server, Abigail, who also lended her special class of genuine interest, the meal was sensational. The bronzino is unrivaled! The atmosphere is just as yummy. The consistency of all things wonderful is why I had to write this and say thank-you to Steve, Abigail and the entire Avra establishment. Karen Hope Moss

Faith D Stern

This house is the home of The New York Philharmonic. In addition, other companies perform here. If you like great music this is definitely for you.

Richard Chen

Beautiful venue for music. Staff is professional and friendly. Don't bring outside food and drinks, and be ready for them to inspect bags.

Roy Froebe

Beautiful. As a first time and possible only time I will ever be there. What an experience. The venue and the Philharmonic. WOW!

Susan Zander

Saw Gustavo Dudamel conducting the L.A. Philharmonic. I still have chills thinking about it! It was the fifth time seeing Dudamel. Can't wait for his next visit to NYC. He is a rock star!

Michael Kwan

The home of the NY Philharmonic. I have to say the sound is not as good as Carnegie hall and the seating capacity is not as big either. But if you want to see the NY Phil, this will be your go to place

Just a beautiful place with wonderful staff. The show was perfect and the haply hour special on drinks is actually a decent deal at about 6 dollars a drink.

Paul Brick

Handel's Messiah performed passionately and with such precision by the New York Philharmonic. How lucky we are to live in this city where art of this quality is accessible.

Gretchen Berger

Went to world premiere of A Fire in My Mouth, a new multimedia oratorio by Julia Wolfe. Breathtaking. Too bad tonight was its last performance. Jaap, the new conductor is amazing.

Very clean. Good lighting. Easy stage viewing from anywhere. Seating is dated with very limited space

Performance New Year's Eve was excellent, but I was surprised and disappointed that the program was so short. Prior years' New Year Eve concerts have lasted much longer.

Chef Menajem Peretz

This is onces of NYC best concerts halls, always try to get ticket while in NYC, always very affordable. The whole see is nice

Don and Elsa Wilen

NY PHILHARMONIC is a top orchestra and the program of Mozart Respigi and Hayden was very pleasant. Seats in theatre could use upgrading.

Rick Peng

Been there several times, great performance, great artists and staff. Being a student the only issue is that it's not easy to find an affordable restaurant nearby.

Maria Kron

Never a bad experience in this beautiful concert hall. Terrific acoustics and comfortable seats.

The NY Phil is one of the Big 5 orchestras for a good reason, and David Geffen Hall is an ideal home for them.
