A wonderful acoustically perfect venue. The architecture has been restored to its original beauty and is one of Detroits treasures. I especially love the faces painted in the ceiling of the original committee who commissioned that Orchestra Hall be built.

Shame on DSO for continuing to bill my mother for an annual subscription after being notified she died. Having removed all credit card info from her online account, DSO billed her credit card not once but two times!!! Even with multiple efforts by me to contact the DSO via phone, US Mail and email they are absolutely non-responsive and non-cooperative in resolving this matter. Always supported the DSO but this is unconscionable.

The Detroit Symphony Hall is simply fabulous! The acoustics are spot on and the orchestra players are amazing performers. The atmosphere was quite festive and Santa himself made a appearance! The Holiday show also featured two high school choirs and a lovely and gifted female singer to add to the festivities. All-in-all, quite a festive time for all in the lovely hall (which is celebrating its centennial this year by the way!). I cant wait to attend my next performance!

I came here on a weeknight evening for the first time. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra was brilliant! The Hall was smaller than I expected but very elegant and clean nonetheless. We sat in the back of the main floor and could see the orchestra very well - from the looks of it, I think every seat has an excellent view. The acoustics of the hall were great as well. It is definitely worth a trip and I will be back for sure!

This is one of the most acoustically perfect designed venues in the world. Detroit is privileged to have this world class stage When you walk in the atrium is fantastic. Then you walk towards your seat, deep breath, you see the this unbelievable,living art work. You know that you are In for a world class experience. I take my children every chance I can. You should too.

We had a very nice experience. Acoustics was very good. Seats are comfortable but a little bit on the tight side. If you go there try to pre-order the parking vouchers and you can save yourself a few bucks on the parking structure next door.

You must go see! I have never experienced a movie with the music of the movie being played live and you just never realize how much the music wraps you into the movie. It literally is the thing that elicits the emotions in a person during a movie. Joy, excitement, sadness, anger, fear...all wrap around neurons in the music. And the Detroit Symphony Orchestra is Absolutely a Detroit Treasure! I will be looking for a lifetime support package!

A great venue for music but I had to dock a star for the seating. People are packed in ridiculously tight. Its about the same space as airplane seating and if youre tall like I am, youre going to be uncomfortable for most of the event. Otherwise, a great cultural value for the metro area.

I won tickets to see DSO perform thier home for the holidays show and it was excellent. My sister and I loved it so much we bought tickets to a show in February and cant wait to go back. A beautiful venue and truly a world class orchestra. We are so lucky to have such talent here in Detroit.

Amazing, as usual! So easy to park right in the garage and walk next door to the hall. The most beautiful venue around to enjoy a performance. And the volunteers are so kind and helpful. Celebrating 100 years and hope it is there for another 100 years

We went to listen to Hollywood Hits today and had a great time. The music sounded great in this hall. Parking wasnt too bad to get into but be prepared to wait a bit to leave if you park in the structure.

Not sure what I was expecting but the overall experience was better than I had expected. I sat in one of the last rows on the main floor and still had a great view of the stage. The Orchestra did an amazing job and the the music sounded great in the hall. I will forsure be visiting DSO again

The concert was amazing. But this is such an iconic Detroit Cultural space, it is worth marking for a visit. Easy to do with DSO programming. Beautiful, sounds good. Crowd management (flow in and out) is always good.

Went to our second performance today at Orchestra Hall to hear the DSO. Second time was just as mesmerizing as the first. Not only does the DSO have very talented musicians but the acoustics of the venue blow me away. Having been to many venues throughout the world, I have to rate this one at the top of the list. Do yourself a favor and make it a point to not miss a performance at this gem of a find.

You just cant beat that signature DSO sound! Ive loved coming here for years, whether its a casual night in the cube, or a big date at orchestra hall, its always a great time.Tonight we got to see the premier of Black Bottom for the 19th annual classical roots concert. The DSOs ongoing commitment to presenting new and relevant material is to be admired.

Acoustically, its excellent and the place is actually nice but the seats dont have much leg room. My knees were literally hitting the back of the seat in front of me and Im only 56. Its a bit uncomfortable sitting there for a 2 hour show.

It was REFRESHING!!! The DSO played in a way I will not soon forget. The tribute was to Motown and the singers were CRISP in both voice and attire. The conductor was charismatic, while Orchestrating the well synced group! I will definitely be returning for more!

I love going to see the shows at this place! Recently, I attended the Big 80s concert at the DSO and it was awesome! The atmosphere, the ambiance, and the excitement from the crowd and the players were electrifying! It was cool to rock and move along with everyone else and sing songs from the greatest decade of music, the 80s! My only disappointment was that I paid for 3 hours but it only lasted two. I forgot that I was told that concert times were subject to change! Overall, I had the time of my life and Im hoping, wishing, and praying that they do a Part 2 of the Big 80s. Thats how much fun I had!

Love Orchestra Hall and DSO. My visit was for a jazz concert, but have been here many times for orchestra and other events. The acoustics are excellent and even at the highest point in the balcony there are no bad seats. The ushers and volunteers are very helpful and the parking is easy and convenient. Ive never had a bad time at Orchestra Hall.

Perfect. Orchestra Hall is acoustically perfect, but it is also perfect in so many other ways too. The atmosphere, the architecture, the performances of the DSO, and more. For example, I recently had dinner at the Paradise Lounge inside Orchestra Hall and I am not sure how long it has been around but it was new to me and very nice. I also like the drink options and the freedom to bring them into the show with you.

Review №76

A wonderful venue. Right from the easy access from area freeways to convenient parking in the ramp next door, to the courteous and helpful staff.The building itself is an architectural gem, both inside and out, but more so inside. 2019 is its 100th anniversary, which they will celebrate throughout the 2019-2020 season. Like they say, there isnt a bad seat in the house. It just feels intimate. My preferred seating is the dress circle. That is the closest of three balconies. I prefer it to main floor, as one can see the musicians plying their craft, so easily. The acoustics are marvelous. From the balcony I could hear the banter and jokes of Branford Marsalis and his quartet.A true treasure of Detroit.

Had no issues seeing from the dress circle. The seats are small, but the venue interior is nice. It was nothing special as a venue, though, if you have been to other orchestra halls. There was no line for the womens bathroom, though so that was a nice surprise. Not sure if thats a usual thing.

Came through the front door for interview one lady clothes for shade and pointed her finger up under the shade for me to go to the next lady as I proceeded to the next lady she was on the phone talking personal conversation as I stood there for approximately 10 minutes then she asked me can she help me Ill say yes Im here for interview she left the death she came back she told me to go around to the alley and go to the double glass doors. As I go around back alley part and go to the double glass doors the security guard was also on the phone as I stood there for another 10 minutes which made me late for my interview when I decided to ask him can you help me please he still told me to hold on until he finish this conversation on the phone. As I stood there he informed me that the person that was interviewing me would be down shortly I sat there for another half an hour waiting to have my interview.
