As a fellow orchestra player, it was great seeing one of the Minnesota Orchestras concerts! I play the cello, and was watching the cellos a lot of the time during the performance. There was a really great pianist that was a guest performer with an unexpected encore, and a lot of the songs played had unique contrast in volume at different times! Ive said a lot about how amazing the performance was, but I havent said anything about just how beautiful Orchestra Hall is! The hall itself is fabulous and the different patterns on the ceiling gave really great acoustics, while also looking really cool. The lobby also is very modern and has a nice feel. Definitely coming back to see more performances!

We went to a Harry Potter event and it was absolutely amazing. Great for the family and parents too! They do this once a year and its so worth it!

I had the great pleasure of seeing one of my favorite bands of all time. Cloud Cult poured every bit of their souls into each song they played. Having seen them over a dozen times this was the pinnacle of my experience with them. They are the nicest and most genuine humans one could ever be lucky enough to meet. Thank you Craig, Shawn, Shannon, Sarah, Connie, Scott, Dan, and of course Jeremy for one of the most beautiful nights of my life!

Love the Minnesota Orchestra, and Orchestra Hall. True gems for our beautiful state. Highly recommend to all visitors interested in the arts. The hall is a unique performance venue, visually striking and acoustically crisp. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Facilities are always clean and fresh. Love it!

I photographed a beautiful Christmas event there. The service from staff was meticulous and the evening was SO smooth and fun. Not to mention the orchestra sounded heavenly!

Great music. Beautiful building. Quick advice, you cant take drinks inside, so if you got coffee or wine or whatever, youll have to finish it before intermission is over.

Great concert venue. I’ve attended several MN Orchestra concerts here as well as a Tonic Sol Fa vocal performance. Spectacular acoustics. Hoping the younger generations will embrace it and that it will be available for many years to come.

As a destination event photographer, I have the pleasure of photographing a lot of events all over the country. I recently photographed a wonderful conference in Minneapolis, where the welcome reception was held at the Orchestra Hall. What a clever and picturesque location for a business function. I was VERY impressed!!!

We saw Star Wars here and this is definently something you should do if you have the opportunity. They keep it fun for fans of the movie and the music. The visuals and sounds are just something you have to experience in your lifetime..

A truly unique experience, worth the cost! The orchestra shows amazing skill each time we go and if you are like us you would really enjoy the movie nights where they cover the music live. Concessions and drinks are not cheap - $10-12 for single shots or wines, or $8 for 12 oz beers. But budget and enjoy yourself!

Orchestra Hall is a beautiful concert hall in Minneapolis. Home of the Minnesota Orchestra. The musicians are fantastic: dedicated to their craft. They perform a variety of shows to make music accessible to all.

The venue is beautiful and the performances are always fantastic! Definitely worth the time and money.

I watched King Herod/Solomes Dance. It was exciting and made me wonder more about what kind of dance it might have really been. It told the bible story and the music was great. The sound system worked well. Id like to see this performance again. It was expensive though. I believe the tickets were around $100. I would not have gone if I had to buy my own ticket. This was a huge place to navigate. The ticket included some free drinks.

If you are going to Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, MN and happen to be with someone that is in a wheelchair it is best to be parked early. We did find a non handicap spot to park where we were able to use the ramp on the van as we normally would. Leaving an event can take some time with only one elevator(that I am aware). Inside the hall there are well placed handicap seats and spaces from which you can enjoy any type of performance.

My daughter had a choir concert there. The place was wonderful

A world-class orchestra with world-class customer service. Whats not to love?

The orchestra has been doing a series of film scores, where the movie is shown behind the musicians and they play all the music. Its a great experience and puts a fresh spin on old classics. The Disney movies have been a great way to introduce our kids to live orchestra!

This venue is on a level all on its own, unparalleled to any other orchestra hall in the entire state of Minnesota. The parking is connected via a sky bridge offering quick and easy movement while avoiding the elements. Drinks and rotating refreshments are served in the lobby which is nice. The real reason the venue is so special is because of the grandeur of the main hall, offering a plethora of seats for any budget and guest. I find sitting halfway back on the main floor offers the best acoustics. The orchestra, while I wish they played more frequently, is fantastic, and respectable group of talented musicians, and I definitely plan on attending for many performances, and years to come.

The MN Orchestra is top notch. The space is beautiful and open. I thoroughly enjoy their special themed music nights, like the films nights. Recently we saw Star Wars there, while the orchestra played along. It made me wish I could hear a live orchestra with every movie I see. The orchestra is professional, but knows when to add a little humor into their set. Lightsaber conducting anyone?

Wonderful place, wonderful music, miserable traffic when theres a game on. One should always check to see what else is going on around town in order to estimate travel time so as to not be hurried.Watched the University of St Thomas Dept. of Music Christmas Concert Comfort and Joy. Nicely varied but topical selections. A couple of the orchestral arrangements were ambitious, but were performed well. Arrangements for audience participation were a little challenging, requiring deep lungs, but the choirs supported us well.Excellent job, St. Thomas!!!

This is the best sounding concert hall in the city. I love the building and its not hard to find a spot to park nearby.

One of Minnesotas outstanding musical organizations, the Minnesota Orchestra offers unbelievably good value for all... ticket prices are great, especially for such incredible talent! And the design of the facility makes it possible to be enveloped in the arts from the moment you enter the building. Amazing!

This venue is spectacular!! Not only is it a beautiful stage but the sound is amazing. They host a lot of interesting things here. I think more people should definitely check it out!!

Our family really enjoyed the Minnesota Orchestras Christmas concert. They always sound amazing and provide great entertainment. I would highly recommend going if you have the opportunity. Thanks!

Wow! An experience not to be missed. The sound is phenomenal and the amazing talent level is out of this world. Recently saw Home for the Holidays. What a warm heartfelt performance full of nostalgia, comedy and sing-a-long. Helps you remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Incredible experience watching a movie with all music played live by the orchestra - perfect way to introduce my girls to the orchestra ️ my girls are 6 and 7 and LOVED it!

The music is exceptionally good, the building venue is superb and the staff and vendors and service are wonderful. The main floor seating is fabulous for comfort and leg room. You are a Minnesota treasure and your travels in the state and abroad are inspiring.

Orchestra Hall is an amazing place to spend time with friends and family. If you go for a show in the morning sometimes they even have free coffee and donuts. During the holiday season is also pretty cool because they have a cool tree. They orchestra itself is super amazing, and no matter what show you go to it will not disappoint!

Absolutely fantastic experience. We saw the motion picture Up with the orchestra playing the score. Our grandson sat captivated and never moved!! Thank you for the best experience weve had in a long time.

Saw a Christmas program, Home for the Holidays, at Orchestra Hall. Sarah Hicks is a wonderful conductor that conducts with a vibrant energy and it shows in how the Orchestra responds to her direction. They play beautifully. Throughly enjoyed the concert.

Beautiful concert hall. Ive been multiple times and sat in various areas. Havent ever had a seat with a bad view, or bad sound.

A beautiful facility. Wonderful place for a concert. Possible venue for weddings also. There were counters to purchase drinks, snacks and souvenir items. Can purchase a drink and pick up at intermission. In a side room there was a temporary planetarium set up before the concert. Loved my experience there! Great staff too.

Much better than I expected. The food is actually really good. Big menu with lots of selection too.

Great venue. Lots of refreshments during intermission and plenty of seats. Many bathrooms. I went to see Cameron Carpenter here yesterday and the performance was phenomenal!

I have been coming to the orchestra for well over five years now. And, wow have they made some well done improvements. More movie nights, greater social experiences before the shows, more social media interactivity during shows, physical improvements to the theater itself with lights and visuals, more diversity in shows. Ive gone to a bollywood live show, the circus, several movies, interpretive dance and narratives, and so much more here at the orchestra. Its classy, and with their newer package deals, its not that expensive. Theyve opened up the idea that the orchestra isnt just for the older generation, but for the younger crowd too. Treat yourself with a night at the orchestra and you wont regret it.

We came to the show, Home for the Holidays & it was absolutely FANTASTIC!! It had all the MAGIC of Christmas!! It was beautiful, funny & full of talented artists. I would definitely go a 2nd time. Merry Christmas & thank you MN Orchestra!!!

There isnt a bad seat in the house. Loved performing here and I love seeing shows here. Truly a gem. Make sure you go to a concert here!

Take the stereotype of what an orchestra is out of your mind right now. The Minneapolis one has events for anyone and everyone. If you truly have an appreciation for classical music, yes, this is one of the best orchestras in the world. Then again, if you are a Star Wars nerd OR like good movies and want to watch a movie accompanied with LIVE music, yeah theyve got that too. We love being residents here in Minneapolis as many of the orchestra members now play at various breweries. Check out their pint of music schedule.

Orchestra Hall is a huge auditorium where talented musicians play and create their own atmosphere with building.It is truly an experience you wont forget! Regardless if you are performing there are just watching.

Orchestra hall is an absolutely stunning venue. We saw the fantastic Emerging Composers show. The acoustics are perfect & I dont believe theres a bad seat in the house. We sat in seats 21 & 22 of row 2 in balcony A (center section) & we had a perfect view of the stage without being too far away. Drinks were available right outside the balcony entrance & made by a friendly bartender. There is a 15% surcharge added on to card payments therefore I suggest bringing cash to avoid this.

Most fantastic place Ive ever played at which is one a of must sees when visiting Minnesota. Every seat that you pick is amazing, the sound quality spectacular, and the view is more than you could ask for. Hope that yout experience will be as amazing as mine was for you. Thank you!

What an amazing night. Watching Star Wars to live music was absolutely amazing!!

Went to see Star Wars here and it was incredible. Such a great experience.

Even If I doze, I love the orchestras strange twist of modern times with whats brewing in my mind. You will not be disappointed if you want to be transported to another place and time.

Truly world-class performances night after night.Guest soloists and conductors of international renown.Living, breathing art conjured for an appreciative audience.A first-rate experience throughout.

Beautiful Hall Concert. Amazing acoustics!

This is such a terrific place to continue to enjoy the fine arts of music. Great locale, easy parking, friendly staff.

Went to Jurassic Park and enjoyed every minute of it! Great music, fun crowd, beautiful facility.

I absolutely love the Minnesota Orchestra. Their programming is really great. My favorite is called inside the classics where they do an educational component along with the music. I think it brings a depth and richness to the experience and I enjoy learning more. Plus they usually offer some pretty great discounts and really friendly staff. also because its situated in downtown there are plenty of places to go for a drink beforehand such as Brits right across the street. However in the summer during Sommerfest they turn the plaza in front of the orchestra into an area for food vendors and drinks. My only complaint is that the wine selection is pretty awful at the orchestra. If you prefer dry wines this is not the place to catch a drink during happy hour before the show. They would do well to have more sparkling and more dry wine options.

Great Christmas concert December 2019.

Fab venue with every seat having good sightlines as well as wonderful acoustics. First class Orchestra always performs well.

Amazing space and an even better show.

Best Prokofiev 5 ever! Wonderful conductor. Orchestra incredible. Concerto better piece than ecpected.Loved Tetzlaff.

Great concert. The acoustics always amaze me. The stage backdrop is inspired and the light play is great

Lovely place to enjoy our MN Orchestra as well as many different type of events!

I’ve been to the orchestra hall a couple times, but most recently I went for a yoga class in the lobby! A violinist played for us and it was so fun.

First time. Empire Strikes Back in Concert. Absolutely fantastic. The whole experience was great from the minute we walked in the door to the minute we left.

Relaxed day for special needs kids. Was amazing. Highly recommend.

Amazing venue. Great acoustics and accommodating staff!

Obviously, Orchestra Hall has amazing acoustics. I recently saw Bach’s Christmas Oratorio Show. I left after intermission. The music and singing were amazing but so stuffy and not joyful or playful or fun. I seek out their Pint of Music offerings where quintets play to joyful fun crowds. None of that vibe comes through for the main stage. It’s too bad, since live music is good for your soul. Very happy to have a glass of Boom Island’s witness beer for $8. You can preorder at intermission. The staff is super friendly. The ladies room on the 2nd floor was mysteriously locked-the staff couldn’t explain why so they assumed it was out of order. There was no sign so they were only guessing. The ladies room on the top floor had 2 marrow doors to go through at very sharp corners—there’s no way that ladies room is ADA compliant.

I had a wonderful time watching Harry Potter movie with Orchestra accompanying. Front row, the screen is partially blocked by heads but the leg room is nice.

I came to orchestra hall to premire a song a few weeks ago with all of the girls sophomore choirs in my district. It was an amazing experience and I really enjoyed being able to preform on such a popular stage. All of the staff were super kind and beyond helpful. 10/10 would love to go again.

Beautiful auditorium. Performance was amazing!

Beautiful hall, great acoustics, and a fantastic orchestra. This hall is one of my favorites.

Sound was wonderful on the main floor, but I find that the sound can be felt better in the balcony. Regardless if you get a chance to go. Go very worth it.

Beautiful performances. You are going to have an amazing time.

Amazing experience today with high school students at 2020 Young Peoples Concert. Staff and talent were superb. Our students were blessed with Osmo Vänskä conducted and was fun to watch him lead.

The acoustics are amazing. The venue is just the right size. Hardly a poor seat in the house.

Very festive and entertaining.Could become a new holiday family tradition.

Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back was amazing. It will never be as fun to just watch the movie anymore. Loved the costumes performers from the 501st Legion too!

Awesome music venue. Free concert was fun!

Love going to the movies and MN Orchestra plays the score. It is an experience.

Concert hall where you can not only listen to world music masterpieces, but learn a great deal about music culture, composers, musicians and conductors.

Love the venue and like the orchestra. For me it depends more on the music being played rather than the venue but the venue itself is top notch.

Cloud cult with the Minnesota Orchestra was the best show I’ve seen in years.

Incredible acoustics, lighting, staff, and stage production. I had an incredibly amazing time performing here, Wonderful!

What an incredible experience, this place is absolutely beautiful, and musicians are phenomenal, arguably some are the best in the entire United States. Highly recommended for anybody who enjoys live music, and really, anybody who enjoys music in general.

Bar lines are long but the remodel of this place is really cool. Went and saw Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, fun show.

A wonderful performance and a great place to have such a lovely event! This is definitely worth it for students when they have $12 tickets for some performances. Overall it was great experience and I cant wait to go again.

It was a beautiful experience. I was especially touched when they acknowledged the members who support them annd make the orchestra available to so many!

Osmo Vanska is a brilliant and talented conductor. It was the best performance of Handels Messiah that I have seen yet. Masterful and beautiful performance! Well worth it!

The International Day of Music was outstanding

Wonderful evening events, such lovely music, memorable story telling too.

Robbinsdale school district all district choir is amazing and my daughter is in it!! Orchestra Hall is an amazing place, They all performed Monday evening and did a fabulous job!! My pictures from inside.. show how cool it is!

I always have a great time at Orchestra Hall! The staff gets you checked in and to your seat in a very quick manner. Phenomenal music! Many restaurants nearby to get dinner beforehand. Parking is a little tricky, but thats the reality of downtown Minneapolis.

MN State Baptist Convention Youth Choirs CD Recording was at this beautiful establishment! Thank you Orchestra Hall for hosting us, all the hospitality and wonderful service! The CD will be phenomenal!!!

Easy parking. Very friendly and helpful staff. A real pleasure to come to

They do amazing field trips here for you kids. And its so beautiful inside.

Great performances from the GTCYS groups!! Orchestra hall is beautiful!!

Exceptional team from volunteer to marketing to conductors to musicians and directors. This group and venue are truly trendsetting, changing with the culture and maintaining exceptional quality in performance and music. Thank you for enticing children and sharing with families. Most of all I feel this orchestra is critically **accessible**, which is not common in this genre, but will be vital to its survival. Thank you for doing this with Elegance!

Not a bad seat in the house! Every show is amazing! Youll enjoy whatever you go see here!

Saw the film Its A Wonderful Life with a live orchestra and was very impressed.

Loved seeing school age children at Friday nights concert.

The movie series are a great idea. Totally fun.

The Minnesota Orchestra has something for everyone. For kids, they do family friendly performances and Disney movies where they provide the music. This is a great way for children to learn how to appreciate live orchestra music. For adults they do a variety of performances everything from the Beatles to Bach. It is worth the investment. If you are under 40 look for specially priced tickets! They will do performances before and after the performance sometimes too! It is a great event to get out to enjoy!We also choose to park in the ramp that is attached via the skyway on the second level. It is $10 and is totally worth it for the convenience.

I love this space, one of my all time favs in Minneapolis

A wonderful orchestra with a beautiful concert hall.

Great atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, and amazing musicians. Whats not to love?

I had the pleasure to experience Boys II Men with the Minnesota Orchestra at this venue during Valentines Day weekend. Beautiful venue.

Great atmosphere and loved the Minnesota Orchestra! Cant wait to go again!
