I always come to watch my friends perform, catch some soloist, or simply enjoy a piece I love. I can never seem to find a good seat sound-wise, but from my experience, being up in the middle of the mezzanine is better than being down below.
I wanted a full concert, but instead got an unneeded and unwanted lecture for the first half. Not what I thought I was paying for when I renewed my season tickets package. I want to talk to someone at symphony Hall about this and make sure I'm not in for any more surprises!!
Such a great resource for San Diegan. This made for a really fun down town date night
Joyce Yang was outstanding, and the interaction with the orchestra was playful and entertaining. The San Diego Symphony is second to none!
Very Plush inside..spacious..great view from every seat..however the ushers could do more about folks standing up and blocking others view..
Love the performances and the old, eclectic building.
The venue was nice, the orchestra was so great, as was the first conductor. Parking was easy to find and the Symphony Towers which it was in are so nice.
Pat Metheny burned that place to the ground. In a good way.
I went to their Rush Hour 2.0 and it was an amazing experience. It was my first time attending anything at the venue.
I look forward to attending more events there. The acoustics were incredible!
Beautiful venue, incredible Architecture, San Diego Symphony Hall - a local treasure. Some of the best classical music in the world. Choose your flavor and style. There is something for everyone. Best entertainment anywhere.
Wonderful orchestra, comfortable hall, informal atmosphere.
Great seating, great sound system, and the performance we saw was also FANTASTIC.
The film score series is a great time to bring young kids and all fans of the symphony alike. The san diego symphony has some amazing performances and rebowned artists visiting too.
Very elegant, and ornate symphony hall. It was built in 1929 and was the largest movie palace on the west coast. We sat on the balcony for their Christmas special presented by the San Diego Symphony and our view was wonderful. They do have a beverage bar if you wanted some beverages and cocktails. Absolutely wonderful evening.
This Hall sounds amazing! On top of it being beautiful. Plenty of concerts to enjoy each season so you can check them out during your visit. If you live in San Diego this is a jewel to be treasured!
While parking really sucks around the Symphony hall they do have valet parking for $25 which is well worth it. I loved the ballet (Swan Lake). The facility clearly needs more women's bathrooms as usual. The seats are comfortable with plenty of leg room however they need to be staggered more so a tall person cannot block your view of whatever you are watching.
My wife and I love going to the Movie Concert Series where they play live orchestra music while you watch a movie. Ratatouille was our favorite. Not to mention the whole hall is very ornate and fascinating to examine while you wait for the show to start.
This is a tradition. My dad and I go to the Harry Potter shows after Christmas. Truly a magical experience.
Every time I go to the symphony my brain tells me to do this more often. I am not a classical musical expert by any means but I appreciate the talent and technique to play the complex pieces. Unfortunately most of the clientele (75% or more) is over the age of 70. The Symphony seems to be actively targeting the younger demographic with crossover genre shows, the renovated cocktail lounge in the Copley Hall lobby and opening of the new farm to table cafe. The symphony in San Diego is some of the best classical music culture going on and a night out at the Copley Hall is a great experience.
Beautiful architecture and musicians are incredible.
Fantastic service, very friendly people and very helpful. It has a Beautiful interior design. Restrooms are clean and decent in size. Seating is numbered and comfy. No cup holders if youre wondering. Wall plugs by the consession stand for a quick charge. Parking spots all over the block too.
Fine orchestra that consistently gets world-class soloists. Copley Hall is tastefully ornate with great acoustics.
My first time to see/listen to the Symphony at Symphony Hall. A delightful evening.
Truly thankful that San Diego has a world-class symphony and venue.
Outstanding performance and great venue. I wish I were a local just to enjoy this feature of San Diego.
Great architecture, seats are comfortable and all seats have a great view
Great experience to get cultured in the arts. Also a great excuse to get all dressed up for a night out on the town of beautiful San Diego. America's finest city.
This Symphony has climbed up the ranks in recent years!
This is a classic ornate symphony hall. We saw the Glenn Miller Orchestra and they sounded marvelous!
Parking can be a pain and once your inside the layout is a bit confusing but fabulous performances and very reasonable pricing
Great experience! What a FAB program. JBell and TheStMartin in the Fields orchestra! Absolute BEST!!
The San Diego Symphony is a World class orchestra, and the pride of our city.
Absolutely beautiful! The conductor is amazing as well as the orchestra.
Great place my room with view Monday through Friday
Emmanuel Axe (piano), Yo Yo Ma (cello) and the violinist are amazing
Very well-oiled machine supporting and promoting the arts!
I can't wait to go again. I went to see Joyce Yang, and it turned out to be such a good night.
Always a pleasure, depending on your chosen concert or show. Organization of patrons trying to get in to show could use a little help.
Love Love Love culture. Some would call Sam Diego shallow but when you go to this symphony it shows you that San Diego has great culture as well. The seating is great. The shows are great. The staff are knowledgeable. Check out the year pass. It s worth it for locals.
Amazing experience, the interaction with the conductor, the quality of the music, the program were all perfect. In terms of improvements, the acoustics have room to improve. If you are in SD, you must experience the symphony
The San Diego symphony is truly one of San Diego's gems. It's always a great time getting to see the symphony and all the conductors make such beautiful music. My favorite are the movie concerts where they play the music to the movies while you're watching the actual movie on projectors. 10/10, definitely a must visit whether you're a native or tourist.
BE CAREFUL. SDSymphony changed out our Champagne Table seats for row seats at the Diana Ross concert. We met up with many others who, like us, showed up 90 minutes early with picnics in hand to enjoy dinner at our Champagne Tables - only to be hustled into row seats by ushers.
Box Office told us it was our fault -- that we didn't understand the special seating. NO. When you look at a diagram and pick a table, then show up and find yourself squished into a row - that is YOUR fault.
Call the office to check your seats and make sure you are getting what you pay for! Huge rip off.... $300 to see nothing but a TV screen.
Loved the decor, $5 movie nights are great! Want to see the symphony play someday!
I've seen the ballet and the symphony at this venue and I plan to go back many more times. It's a very intimate theater.
Absolutely love the Symphony but my wife and I strongly agree there should be a dress code enforced, at least footwear. We and many others wear ties, slacks and dresses but I continue to see people in jeans, t shirts and worst of all, tennis shoes/converse.
somewhat of a hidden gem. wouldn't know it is a symphony from the exterior. great venue. the staff is made up of volunteers who are really passionate about the symphony.
A professional performance hall with a convenient location, who could have guessed that such a good place is hidden in the building! The staff was very helpful and the performances were of high standard. I spent a wonderful and unforgettable night here
Always love it especially when Master Chorale is singing with them!!!
Terrific classiscal music, a wide variety of composers, and excellent experience!
This is the most beautiful live music venue in San Diego. Not only does the symphony perform here, but the organization also hosts too-notch jazz concerts. Check out their calendar and find an event that suits your musical preferences.
Creative and original presentation, they do a great job of making classical music modern, fresh & fun. Quite an asset for San Diego.
This place is beautiful! The music is one of a kind as well! Though, I felt out of place not dressing as elegant as most people there, so dress nice!
Been to watch Harry Potter, it's magical with the symphony
Johnnie Mathis great concert. Packed house usher's had to stand in back of chamber.
