saw Aladdin Saturday night and loved it. the dcpa is truly a great venue. I wish they had a better set up for parking!
Have been here a couple times now for completely different events (Nightmare Before Christmas and Yo-Yo Ma) and both experiences were amazing. I don't think there is truly a bad seat in the house. They even offer discounted seats for those who don't mind an obstructed view and are only there to enjoy the music. My only complaint is the parking, but that has no effect on my overall experience at Boettcher.
Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Kudos to staff and volunteers. Comfortable. And great show. Just the right length. BUT unless toy ate inn orchestra seats those with walkers or wheelchairs have no voices but back row off mezzanine. The elevators are inconvenient. But all in all we had a lovely experience.
I love going to the symphony here, I don't think there's a bad seat. More snack options would be nice, and when the parking garage is full it makes a long walk. Otherwise, wonderful venue
Very nice and intimate concert hall with very good sight lines and A-/B+ acoustics. The seats are high-back and comfortable. Depending on where you're seated, you should be able to see at least 80 percent of the stage.one of the things I like to watch are the musicians and how they react to what they are playing. We watched someone in the viola section who completely and thoroughly enjoyed sharing his talent and it showed.
Note: The audience sits around the stage.
Amazing experience! The employees were friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful. There is a HUGE parking garage to attend events. There are several theaters available here. I would definitely recommend this location for a fun night out!!
Saw CSO perform the music of Prince and it was delightful. Performance in the round, I loved going to the rear to get some symphony shots.
Lovely acoustics! Aesthetically pleasing venue. Very nice staff. Good selection of shows. The chairs are very uncomfortable.
Such a lovely venue! The sound quality is superb. The ushers are great about getting you to your correct seats. Bathrooms are very clean and well stocked. It's such a wonderful experience!
Wonderful venue, I love the concert hall. We saw a fantastic show, the Legend of Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses, reasonably priced, especially for the front row seats we had, and well worth every penny! Having not been in a while, the entrance took a minute to find, though.
Visited for a high school graduation ceremony. They would not let people in to get seating until the last minute, the crowd congregating to get in kept pushing from the rear so those towards the front of the lines were forced to be in very close quarters. Exiting after the event was through one door and a small hallway that moved very slowly. There was plenty of room outside but people tended to congregate in the entry way keeping people from getting out of the building. Very poor flow and comfort for attendees to get in and then get out.of the event.
Whether you've been planning to see a concert or other show here or it's a last minute call, they've got a ton of great events. They make it easy to justify a trip downtown on weekend nights.
My son performed here for a few years in a children's choir. It is showing its age. The seats a little unusual with the high wooden backs to prevent the acoustics from changing with different audience sizes. There is usually plenty of room to walk around before the show and during intermission with some wine bars.
Be careful of the seats your choose. The seats are not in a uniform arrangement. Depending on the show, some seats can definitely be in blind spots, or with serious limited view, especially in mezzanine levels.
