Review of Brooklyn Academy of Music

Went here for my daughter's law school graduation ...

Went here for my daughter's law school graduation so I wasn't really there for their usual performances. The building itself is beautiful as is the inside. The interior is ornate and lovely to explore visually as we sat and had time to wait before the ceremony. We sat in the upstairs balcony and the chairs were comfy except for my wide bottom. Those of you that are well endowed as I am will be familiar with the hand rests digging into your hips. That's not the venue 's fault, of course, but my own. Although we had the seats all the way at the end, they offered pretty good viewing of the whole stage area. Except for the very end when a video was played on the stage at the very side we were sitting at and we could not see it at all. Had we been at seats just a little further in that may have been different. The stairs were steep and I was grateful for the handrails. Overall a pleasant experience though.
