Boston Symphony Hall Review

Beautiful hall, beautiful acoustics, beautiful symphony.

Beautiful building. The sound quality is excellent everywhere in the house. My husband and I have been to both a BSO and Boston Pops concert. The lounge on the second floor has plenty of seating, and the drinks are incredibly priced. A definite Boston must do.

Had a lot of fun and the bar during intermission was nice. Very classy experience

Beautiful venue. Easy enough to get in and out of. No drinks in the theatre was kind of a let down. Not a lot of parking.

One of the best in the world sounding halls in desperate need of restoration

The best orchestral acoustics I have EVER heard! Even in the back of the second balcony you can hear every note clearly, with nuance.

Absolutely gorgeous symphony Hall, definitely recommend seating from the first or second balcony for the breathe taking view of not only your entertainment but of the artwork that surrounds you. Bar in the lobby, for those with the need of a quick drink before, or after, your event. Right off the highway with multiple garages nearby. You are in for a good time if you got a ticket here.

Beautiful Symphony Hall, the concerts I've seen here have been nothing short of spectacular, and the venue is just as great.

Went to see Looney Tunes around the holidays and was taken aback by the symphony an hilarious cartoons! Cant wait to visit again!

Great venue with outstanding acoustics to hear the Boston Symphony...highly recommended!

Wonderful place to listen to classical music. Beautiful architecture.

Boston Symphony is a very old and nice place to just visit. The architecture is adorable. I felt like I am in a museum with these amazing statues all around the salon. The waiting salons have old pictures of the pianists, which are very nostalgic. It is nice to see while drinking the wine. I really enjoyed listening Tchaikovsky violin concerto in this fascinating salon.

Beautiful concert hall and the BSO performs so effortlessly it's a joy to attend any performance!

The historical and magnificent place to listen to music , regardless of genre. One time we went for the accapela finals, the next time it was Boston University annual concert. It's just great and part of being a part of Boston.

We are so fortunate to have the BSO in striking distance! I look forward to every performance, and particularly enjoy our newest Conductor. Just wish intermission were a bit longer to finish my wine!

Great music in a beautiful, historic hall, but the old leather seats weren't very comfortable.

I have had the pleasure to visit a few of the symphonies at this location . Having visited a few places , this is my top 3 symphony halls in the country . The conductor is incredible and they have visiting musicians from all over the world . Would recommend if you are in town . Also they have 20$ tickets for anyone under 40 which is a steal .

always an amazing expirience the orchestra,the sound and the conductors love it..

Easy access, roomy, has the most space between seats of all the venues I've been in Boston.

This was an absolutely amazing experience. A couple of co-workers and I were in town for work and thought this would be a great experience so we got tickets for what turned out to be opening night for their holiday season. They played everything from the classic sing along Christmas carols that we all know to more classic songs like Tchaikovsky. If you have a height issue you might not want the second balcony but other than that this place was absolutely amazing. The building was amazing, the music was amazing, everything was amazing. I cannot recommend this highly enough if you happen to be in the area for Christmas.

For decades Boston Symphony Hall was considered the world's best sounding room, and I can see why. We saw Keith Lockhart lead The Pops in playing the score of Star Wars a New Hope while the movie played above them. It was a wonderful experience.

Boston Pops and Tanglewood Chorus put on an awesome performance!!

Best way to start the holidays, an evening with the Pops.

Probably the most beautiful hall with amazing a acoustics

That was amazing
And the staff friendly

I like the way when you book and choose your seat it gives a picture of the view from the seat. Ordered tickets from the UK and picked them up at the theatre. Great Concert particularly the Prokoviof's Romeo and Juliet

Only thing was wished that many seats were more tilted toward the stage & not the other side of the wall

One of the best rooms in the world, one of the top orchestras. If you are visiting Boston, make sure to get tickets, no matter what the program is.

Amazing historical symphony Hall to view the spectacular Boston Pops Orchestra! My family was welcomed by the friendly and helpful staff. The hall is museum-like with plaques filled with facts about the hall as well as a collection of antique instruments. The Bugs Bunny at the Symphony was an unforgettable experience for my children and definitely a worthy experience as a Christmas gift for them. We traveled from Asheville, NC and were not disappointed!

Awesome holiday concert tonight by the Boston Pops Orchestra and the all-volunteer Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Amazing show!

World class music , orchestra & conductor , for less than price of movie!

Well My 75 year old mother enjoyed the New Year festivities unfortunately my boys expected the Pops to be more dynamic and better able to entertain the teenage crowded. They basically expected more drums and a faster beet similar to the fourth of July show. But like I said my mother really really enjoyed it and she said that Seth McFarlane was amazing.

Boston Pops concert was fabulous. 1st floor is seated at small tables serving pub food for Pops concerts.

Best place for the best music ! ! Try the cafe before the concert . BSO ... Boston's best .

Um. No brainer...B. Zander + The Planets = YASsss please!!

Pops are great but I went for "an evening with Leslie Odom Jr" and got 3/4 of one act with him on stage. Also the seating where 5 people have to share a 12" table is a terrible design, get rid of the tables. So cramped with multiple strangers sitting an inch away at all times.

John Williams conducting Boston Pops with his own compostions, with giant screen clips of the movies for which he wrote the themes hanging over the orchrestra. Took my kids and grandson.
Awesome in every way possible!!!!!
Great lifetime memory!!!

Its acoustically perfect, a magical place to enjoy classical music...especially to listen to the BSO.

Impressive architecture here and LOVED the Boston Pops Holiday concert. Spectacular evening!

Watching Home Alone with the amazing Orchestra playing the score was truly a joy!

Beautiful and amazing acoustics. We saw a live production of Amadeus and had to remind ourselves it was live music as it was so well timed with the orchestra. We were second balcony seats B42 and B41. Could see about 2/3 of the stage, but full view of the movie screen. Also if you are young(under 40) use the code when checking out "20under40". This will allow you to buy any tickets at $20 which is a great value and good way to spend a night out in the city. Good cafes nearby so grab a coffee and relax before the show!

Great acoustics from any angle--not really as relevant for a lecture with mic'ed speaker but still important for any large venue.

Beautiful symphony hall with great acoustics. Right in the city and easily accessed by public transportation. Too bad they seem to love single use plastics and other disposables with their F&B. Since it's clearly a profit center they should be a little more responsible to the rest of the population on this planet.

Such a wonderful experience. You can feel and see the history. I came to see the Boston pops and it was such a great experience.
