I sat up on the balcony to enjoy the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra while they played "The Final Frontier", an homage to the many science fiction movies of our time. Unfortunately, from the balcony, the power of the music was underwhelming and at a low volume. The orchestra was accompanied by a choir, who I could also barely hear over the other instruments being played
It was also really hot during the entire performance, and I wasn't wearing any heavy clothing. When I asked about the air conditioning to one of the employees, he told me that "he knew it was hot, but today was a good day. It can get much worse in here." We're in Florida and the summer hasn't even begun yet. So I can only imagine how bad it can get.
I'm not sure if these problems are only apparent for those who sit on the balcony, maybe the ground floor is much better.
As much as I loved watching the orchestra anyway, the several limitations with this venue have made me reconsider visiting it again. I really do hope they fix the AC.
