This is an intimate concert hall. When it's quiet, you can have a conversation with someone on stage from the back row of the top balcony: sound travels well here. The performance hall itself is almost brutalist in style with concrete formed balconies jutting out over the main seating. The intermission services was quick, and the selection of beverages and snacks is impressive. I was most pleased with the red wine list as it offered Ripasso and Chateaux-neuf-du-pape, both unexpected from typical boring merlots and cabernets. I sat in the choir seating (L2) for the TSO and was rewarded with an outstanding view of the piano soloist, his hands, the conductor, and the orchestra. Go for row A or B.
