EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts Reviews

A lot of top notch performances are showing in this place.

It has some great programming. It can be confusing trying to figure who/what is presenting each show. The pizza/pasta cafe is generally good but they run out of stuff all the time. Parking sucks.

Nice space for larger group rentals - most recently there for NYE party and they have bars open on two levels to address parties.

Jack Singer wonderful concert hall. Nice to have all the theatres connected together downtown. Capuccini nice cafe inside the complex.

Love this theatre lots character and great stage but no parking

Great venue for company conference meeting. Sound and seating very good.

Beautiful building, great parking.
Handicapped accessible.
Was very impressed with decor I haven't been for quite some time
Very friendly staff.
Clean washroom facilities.

It is easy to find parking and to get into the theater. Unfortunately the seats are cramped making a two hour performance very uncomfortable for a tall person.

Didn't even know you can have a wedding event here.

Seats in Big Secret Theatre were a bit cramped. Play we saw was hard to follow.

Was fortunate enough to witness the Bond and Beyond. The passion put into those pieces was profound and chilling!

Jack Singer - nice concert hall. Relatively intimate with great acoustics

It was a school visit to Arts Commons, great time spend with kids... Really interesting and thought provoking activities. Love the time spent there...

Went to this venue to see Chris Hadfield. First time at this venue and enjoyed the experience. Staff are friendly and helpful. Sound was quite good. I do not mind the decor but I think some people would find that the atmosphere is from another era to be back in vogue soon.

Great venue for the honens international piano competition.

Just a spectacular auditorium... Sound and seating was outstanding.

They always have great shows here! And usually not overly pricey

Great stage, and the acoustics were fantastic. Loved the whole experience.

Great audio in here which I guess shouldn't be surprising. Seating is well laid out for the seats that I have had in the past.

Went to Classic Albums Live - Led Zeppelin. Band was great! Acoustics were great, view was great. Had seats in the center balcony row E.

In the heart of Calgary's downtown, Arts Commons serves as an amazing showcase for Calgary's arts and culture. My experience with Arts Commons relates to two specific organizations: Theatre Calgary and the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra.

In short, both organizations have welcomed in diverse acts of world-level quality. From well-known talent (such as Measha Bruggergosman with the CPO) to world premieres (such as musical adaptation of The Little Prince with Theatre Calgary), both organizations offer a very sound return on cultural investment.

This is an amazing turnaround when you realize that the CPO was nearing bankruptcy in the early 2000's. With both clear leadership and sound management, it's my hope that the CPO (and other art organizations) continue to curate a high level of quality and experience for both current and future events.

There are many different venues for all sorts of shows available at the Arts Commons. It's located at the east side of down town, next to the City Hall train stop, with cheap parking at the impark across the street (9th ave).

I mostly see the CPO, and special concerts at the Jack Singer Concert Hall, as well as small theatre productions at the Engineered Air Theatre.

Go check out a show! They are happening all of the time.

Beautiful building from the outside. Sat and warmed up with some friends there tonight. Obviously in this hostage scenario I can't afford recreational. Spent a number of nights in the parckade below. Nights exactly like tonight, snowy and cold out.

Great place. Went there for a Jazz orchestra. Very spacious and easily accessible. Parking lot is right across the street.

Great time at the kids symphony. A real hands on experience for the kids!

a great venue for live music. excellent acoustics and comfortable seating. not a bad seat in the house.

Confusing place. Would be nice to have more information booths.

Just a quick visit to pick up some concert tickets. Absolutely dead quiet in the middle of the day. Out in under five minutes.

Great acoustics with a variety of seating.. Very enjoyable.

Jumuah prayer times at Epcor Centre downtown Calgary

Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker Performance

Great concert the experience was fantastic. Nat King Cole Christmas

Great place but need to add more route sin boards as lots of visitors are getting lost!

Not enough parking in the area, but great concert venue.

I went to "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" last night. A comedy, as it is promoted. My friend and I were out to see if this play would be appropriate for language arts students. Being Shakespeare buffs, we were very excited to take it in. When we got to intermission, the manager approached us and told us that we were laughing far too loud and that they "had several complaints." I know that I have a distinctive laugh, but that's not something I should muffle at a COMEDY play. The second half, we hardly looked up because we were so humiliated and angry. Don't attend shows at this place. Heaven forbid you get sucked in by the story.

Absolutely beautiful facility. This building is magnificent. I am impressed every time I am here. What a great place to hold a concert. Comfortable seating and incredible sound. I would definitely recommend this place.

All three bands were really cool. I know feel like I want to get to know the bands members better and what they stand for. Thanks for bringing these unique bands to the stage

Charlotte and the web was awesome .... Some really good shows play here ... This is the hub of theatre in Calgary ... Connected to the Calgary tower, Olympic plaza ... Glenblw museum ... This a tourist spot ...the new library will be connected soon ... More to come

Great facility with excellent acoustics. Spectacular variety of shows offered throughout the year.

Beautiful venue. Staff was very helpful and accommodating.

Beautiful performing arts space - saw the Calgary Civic Symphony - amazing performance for Canada's 150.

Fantastic architecture, spaceous and we'll designed. Lobby area was clean, and the concert hall looked brand new. 11/10 would art again.

Jeans and classics....the who! Excellent time relaxing and lovely, will definitely see other shows! First time there, very cool!

The upgrades are awesome, I aways enjoy performances here! CVC and the CPO are fabulous :-)

Very nice venue and situated in a good spot, parking is difficult to find however

Amazing space to see all kinds of shows! Yay for more theatre space!

Beautiful facility in a great location. Tip: parking lot on the south side

Great shows, but management could treat the house staff better.
