Boston Symphony Hall

Went to the Boston Pops last night!
Words cannot express how wonderful it was.
The singers and the orchestra were just incredible!
My favorite was when they sang the 12 days of Christmas. It was unique and fun. A standing ovation was needed after that song!
It did happen!
It is a must see!

This is a beautiful venue with three floors of seating. I had tickets for the third floor balcony and it was very comfortable.

People coming to the symphony had a variety of dress. It ranged from ripped jeans to floor length dresses and suits.

It looked like there were multiple lounges for refreshments, but I didn't get any. There were also restrooms on each of the first two floors, and the one I visited was very clean.

Overall, this made for a lovely night out.

Went for their Christmas performance. It of course was amazing performance. The holiday cocktails were festive and tasty! If you're lucky like me you'll sit next to a group of older women who'll talk the first two songs. I finally spoke up since I traveled from Colorado to see the Pop's. Table seating is tight. Even more so with everyone dressed for winter weather.

What I liked
- Music is awesome.
- not a bad seat in the house
- boxed dinner was great: sushi-grade salmon and a nice cut of beef.

Great music venue but the electronic ticket system is a nightmare. Why does a world class orchestra have an almost unusable e-ticket system?

This review is not standard. It's for the Guster show with the Pops on 6/7.

The setup for table service is bananas. Everyone is jammed into each other. It's so uncomfortable. Good luck if you need to go to the bathroom. Forget it, you're trapped. And with people such close quarters, it's hard to see the stage of you're a kid and have floor seats. Way better off in the balcony. I'll never come back here for any show with table service again.

A bright spot are that the people who work there are super nice and helpful.

I was taken to see the Handel and Haydn Society perform here at the Boston Symphony Hall as an anniversary present and surprise date. The H+H Society did a spectacular concert with a dazzling orchestra and beautiful vocals. I adored listening to the Cantatas and the beautiful interpretations of Bach's classical music. The symphony hall itself is classy and elegant which provides a wonderful backdrop to the performance of such talented musicians. Masking was recommended, but optional. We went to the Sunday show so the hall was not overcrowded at all. Overall, a magnificent experience I would definitely recommend this venue and the superb acoustics for classical music fans!

This is a review of Boston symphony Hall, not Boston pops. I feel compelled to speak about the hall itself, not the event, not the pops ( which I have enjoyed) and love the Pops orchestra.
That said the hall is miserable. No tiered seating for Christmas pops. Plan on a JAMMED packed flat floor seating , nearly knee to knee with others, and around a table that is about 20 in circumference. Ladies room - haaa my wife waited 30 min long lines.
For a city like Boston, and a class act like the Pops, it's an embarrassing location for enjoyment to match the music.
Think of a large High School Gym with a stage. The balcony is ok only if you're in front row.
Sad.

If it was fake, it'd be Sym-phoney Hall. But it's not. If you think it is, you don't know what the Hall you're on about.

Also known as the Boston Pops. Boston keeps expanding and expanding. One of these days, don't say I didn't warn you when Boston Pops.

This is one of the most gorgeous and classically beautiful buildings in Boston, both inside and out, and it's a must-attend for concerts in a city that celebrates such concerts in a more in-depth and appreciative way then perhaps most other cities in America do.

Definitely one of my favorite buildings in the city.

Centrally located in Boston which makes it more accessible- beautiful venue- mixed/diverse crowd of all ages. The music was incredible- the group is exceptionally talented. Would recommend to others!
