I like this venue for different occasions that Ive attended such as a concert that the orchestra held or the Arizona Ballet. Beautiful place and the acoustics are great.The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 is because after purchasing a beverage or bite to eat you can not bring it into the main hall and their bathrooms are few are far between. The ladies line takes as long as the intermission to get through sometimes. Heaven forbid you have a disability or need to get there in a hurry. If you buy a soda, it comes from a can into a cup and you wont get the whole cans worth and they will charge you five bucks. Not worth the flat, warm soda I got. Yuck. Plus its Pepsi....Other than that, its fantastic. The volunteers are always amazing as well.

Watched the Sleeping Beauty ballet today, and it was wonderful! I took my 3 kids and they were captivated! The costumes, sets, orchestra, props and talent were first class. The staff were friendly and helpful also. It was a wonderful afternoon at Symphony Hall!

We love Symphony Hall. My daughter and I come every year to see The Nutcracker and its beautiful. Always a wonderful performance.

Great venue! A lot of room. Good seating all around. Multiple bars.

Absolutely gorgeous inside! The ambiance was outstanding and it is extremely well maintained. If you have the ability to get seats in the very top upper level, thats truly the best. all-encompassing view of the stage. We went to see The Nutcracker, performed by AZ Ballet.

Great experience! Everything was easily accessible. I absolutely loved watching Arizona Ballet perform The Nutcracker. The symphony was beautiful!

What a beautiful venue. Everybody was so nice and helpful. Along with parking in the Convention Center parking lot, the elevator exits right in the lobby of the Symphony Hall.

Beautiful way to spend New Years Eve. Wishvthe show was longer. Too short, but amazing performance.

I attended the 2018 New Year’s Eve special performance on December 31, 2018. The show was beautiful and this venue is remarkable. I’d recommend building in a Phoenix Symphony performance to any visitor of the city’s plans as well as any/all Phoenix-area residents. You won’t be disappointed.

I enjoyed my first trip to the symphony! Its a beautiful hall, and the performance I saw was wonderful.However, it was rather warm inside the hall, and I was sweating while sitting in my seat. I am usually cold most places I go. My friend and I spent the entire intermission in line for drinks and barely made it back to our seats in time. There should be more people helping at the bar stations. Having the same person both make drinks and handle money is a bit ridiculous and slow.I will give it another try based on the quality of the performance.

Got to listen to the music of Led Zeppelin. Was absolutely great!The bathrooms were spacious and clean. The staff here was absolutely polite. I would be happy to go with friends or family again. There is plenty of parking at the near by garages down town.

First visit to the Symphony Hall did not disappoint! The facility was clean and well laid out, and the orchestra was incredible! The prices were also very reasonable. We saw the Nightmare Before Christmas, and the orchestra played the movie score while the movie was playing. It was a lot of fun! I cant wait to come see another show.

Went and saw the nutcracker there last week and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. I rarely go to plays or ballets but this venue was very exquisite with the chandeliers in the lobby and the overall layout of the place. There are ushers that can direct you around as well as some refreshments and wine, depending on the event I guess. My biggest surprise was the seating in the hall itself. The seats are fairly comfortable and wider than most places. (Coming from a BIG and TALL fellow). Theres not much more to say this place is nice and pleasant with parking garages not too far away.Which brings me to my only con.- No free parking (but youre in Phoenix so no duh)Overall I am actually excited to book tickets to video game symphony and come back to this place.

This was an amazing experience! This is the 3rd one I have been too, Nightmare before Christmas x2 and now home alone. Next, I hope to see starwars there. The venue is AMAZING, the staff is kind and helpful 110% effort on there part. The symphony orchestra is AMAZING the MC or director is AMAZING hes really good at everything he does there and is funny as well. I would recommend EVERYONE go see a show there and bring the kids. The only suggestion I have is another drink station the lines are a little long during intermission. AMAZING experience every time hands down the best show in town. Thank you Phoenix Sympathy for the experience!

Ive become a frequent guest at the symphony and its truly a wonderful place. I always leave motivated to do more and inspired by the energy reverberating in the venue. I occasionally sneak a book in depending on my work load but always get distracted by Tito Munoz as he weaves the orchestra into a cacophony of exuberance. Looking forward to the next opportunity to hear the classics. Art is always a guaranty of sanity.

The facility was beautiful! The ushers incredibly friendly! It wasnt too large that you could really have a bad seat either. It took a little while to find parking but it could have been worse.

I love attending performances here. The staff are very friendly and always so helpful. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the air conditioning in the auditorium. It is always so warm in there. I think the last performance I attended, someone passed out because of the temperature.

It was our very first time attending The music was so beautifully orchestrated it would have made you cry It was truly a spectacular event & beautiful orchestra!! The family had a wonderful time!! The staff were very nice & the kiddos got tons of compliments. We will return for another event

My first visit to Ballet Arizonas The Nutcracker with the Phoenix Symphony and what a performance. The facility was acoustically wonderful and the artist were at their best. Must return for other events.

We had such an amazing time here! We got to see a production of Midsummer Nights Dream. My daughter wants to make dancing a career,.so I figured she should see whats in her future. If she wasnt hooked before, shes hooked now.

This was my 3rd visit to Symphony Hall and it was awesome! My boyfriend and I went to see the live performance/screening of the movie Home Alone. It was so cool how the music of the orchestra was perfectly synched with the screening of the film! Little did I realize that a whole choir was awaiting their queue behind the screen as well! This was my boyfriends first time at the Symphony and he was mostly impressed with the fact that the original composer directed this performance. Theres really no such thing as a bad performance at Symphony Hall, but this one stands as my favorite thus far. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and I look forward to attending more performances in the future. :)

The group preforming was young. Not bad at all and several notable moves with better coordination in the first act than the second. YouTube puck was what I came to see but the gentleman who performed was definitely one of the most refined/talented dancers, which is as it should be.

Great place to watch an opera performance. We say riders of the purple sage by zane grey. The performance was remarkable!

Attended the Home Alone screening over the holidays with a group of friends. This was an amazing experience and made for a fun evening out. Highly recommend attending the movie screenings. Definitely on our list for visiting again.

What a great venue, centrally located downtown fun night out for all.

Saw the Nutcracker last night. Online it said that there would be food and drinks available in the lobby. There were sugar cookies, booze, and coffee. The lobby was too busy. People were having seat ushers take their pictures in front of the big Christmas tree, which clearly wasnt their job, but the line of people didnt care. The show was great, and the symphony was fantastic. Too small of a lobby space for that amount of people.

Was there for Escape from Azkaban, first row. Great show! Going to the next one in April, but I got first row balcony tickets this time as first row floor was too close. If you go, get tickets that are back a bit.Either way, highly recommended!! SUCH a good time!!

Always a great time... the orchestra is good, the solo artists are virtuosos, the venue is enjoyable. The mix is often contemporary/abstract and classic/melodic. An opportunity for broadening taste in a way. Highly recommended.

I love coming to the symphony no matter the performance. Any seat is great in this hall since its not too big. You can get a great view and sound from any spot.

Symphony is all class. Make a night out and enjoy downtown and this is a great date night.

What a magical place this is. Such a special treat. I just sit back and close my eyes and let the Amazing Music move me. I love the special guests.

Such a beautiful venue. Well maintained and up to date with the latest sound technologies. The acoustics carried really well across every section and I felt very much in the thick of things. Phoenix is not as well known as SF, NY, Chicago in terms of music, let’s be real, but this is a beautiful place to spend an evening!

Nice place, staff was very friendly and you can tell it has a lot of history. I am very excited when I see this theater. The parking is very close but it’s a hefty 10.00 if you can’t find street parking.

This venue is amazing. No view is bad. There are quite a number of great operas, symphonies, and artists that come through Phoenix and perform here. Dont miss out. It is a pricier venue, but well worth it. Treat yourself. There is always a bar open before and during intermission.

Saw Abba and Phx Symphony.Great show.

Amazing symphony, horrific concessions. You would think after all the successful movie programming they would have learned to staff more than two per station. Literally waited for 15 minutes to discover the coffee was out. Had to leave to get to the second half of the concert. The ushers were very welcoming, the Orchestra was very skilled, the movie was awesome, but the concessions made it a very negative experience.

Absolutely amazing show! Great place. Not a bad seat in the entire place. The closest parking garage was $12 and we paid with a debit card, I think they accepted cash also. Also, there is a loading zone for handicap/elderly. I highly recommend visiting this venue

We had a wonderful time with our granddaughter at the Nutcracker Ballet and everyone was wonderful with her!

I took my niece for her first time at the Symphony and it was amazing! We sat front row and it was worth every penny!

It seemed a bit warm inside hall but sounds were fine and nice wandering around for coffee and snacks.

The Phoenix Symphony is always wonderful if you like music. The ABBA program was fun. A little slow starting but finished strong.

Wonderful place to enjoy an event of all seasons. Great time watching the AZ Ballet perform 2018 Nutcracker with my daughter.

My first time at Symphony Hall was delightfully amazing we enjoyed concert and very surprisely Phoenix Symphony does not just schedule classics concert but modern and all kind varieties I bought my tickets for Star Wars concert months before the app to purchase tickets very friendly at arrival was a piece cake getting the pr in nt tickets just with my name looking forward to another concert

Such a beautiful and exciting experience. This venue is so gorgeous and the staff so friendly and eager to help. I will not be looking forward to future peformances.

We seen the Nutcracker tonight. Our tickets were so close that you could hear their slippers when they danced and when they did the Waltz of the Snow Flakes, a snowflake fell in my lap. They sold drinks before the ballet and they were delicious.. What a great time. Merry Christmas!

My first time and it was a truly amazing experience. Loved how everything sounded amazing no matter where I was. The conductor was one of the most entertaining Ive encountered in many years.

Took my loving mother to see The Nutcracker. The show was fantastic, with wonderful costumes and amazing sets. Cannot leave the theater to use restroom during the show or you will not be allowed to return to your seat.

I have been coming here for nearly 30 years. It hasnt changed a bit in my memory, but it certainly doesnt look aged or worn down at all. This is the place to go to see the symphony, the Opera, the ballet, and more.I was able to help get my nephew into the arts by taking him to see the Empire Strikes Back with the score played by the symphony. They do a great job is appealing to everyone from all walks of life.

Loved the venue! Came here to see the Nutcracker and had a lovely experience. The lights, the stage, the way they change the scene, the sound - all of worked so seamlessly together.

Had a great time at the Nutcracker. Symphony Hall was easy to get to and the staff were a lot of fun. Orchestra seats are not staggered so if you are short it is hard to see when a taller person is in front of you. Otherwise all is good!

I attended the Nightmare Before Christmas event with my husband for his birthday. It was a captivating experience. My husband absolutely enjoyed watching the orchestra play along to one of his favorite movies. Thank you to the Symphony Hall and all that it does.

Seating isnt jammed. The acoustics were crisp and clear, not deafening. Navigating to event is not difficult, regardless of current construction, ample parking. Signage is not convenient to actual venue. Pleasant atmosphere.

The Empire Strikes back concert was great. The seats could use some updating. It was like sitting in a high school auditorium. The sound in the hall was exceptional. The staff was friendly and helpful. The restrooms clean.

Went to see the star wars concert, very cool! The symphony played while the movie played...fantastic family friendly performance. The music was phenomenal and The price was very reasonable. Staff was extremely helpful.

Never been to this place but I was impressed very nice, clean but needs more bathrooms. I enjoyed the Star Wars Symphony had never seen one in person only in the behind the scenes clip. Loved plan to attend on my own this time went with the Salt River Seniors.

We have seen some amazing musical performances at this venue. My favorite are the recent trend to play the score of a film while the film plays over the stage. Such an engaging way to enjoy a night at the symphony!

This is my second trip to Symphony Hall in the last few years and both performances have lifted my spirits. The most recent was a fantastic nostalgic journey into the music of both Star Wars & Start Trek. With the wide range of entertainment choices we have in such a connected world this is a rare treat that is just not the same if not experienced live. Theres nothing like great music, intentional acoustics, and fantastic company to make for an amazing evening!

Art is foundation of sanity. It unites and abridges differences. Great place....

My first symphony ever was for their Christmas show. It was amazing! I cant wait to go again.

Absolutely incredible. I was not emotionally prepared: the music was sublime. I was in tears, but tears of joy. This was my first time hearing classical music live. Unlike anything Ive ever experienced ... and I been to live Nine Inch Nails ... Garth Brooks ... Marilyn Mansion concerts. Even the best digital 24bit recordings pale in comparison to what I felt, the emotion of the live performance tonight, 3-11-2017. I will remember this for the rest of my life; it was truly a profound experience.

Beautiful venue and lovely music. Ive never been disappointed in nearly 30 years of attendance at the Symphony and have heard/seen everything from Bach to Williams and performances designed for children to the most discerning audiences. Excellent options for anyone who enjoys music.

I very much enjoyed my trip down to Phoenix to watch a live performance by the Texas Tenors. A very great afternoon. Although the venue doesnt guarantee a great performance, it sure helps the total experience. The Phoenix Symphony Hall is indeed a fine facilityThat was my first visit and I was very impresses!

For the first time I wasnt freezing. The ballet was excellent tho the first act was kind of slow more like a play without words. We saw Napoli, it was a mixture of modern and classical ballet. The score did about put us to sleep and I think that went for the entire audience as a third were lined up for coffee at the intermissions. Some of the soap dispensers didnt work in the womens bathroom on the far side and water sprayed everywhere in the sink.

Ive been going here for years for the Nutcracker ballet. I adore it! The stage is visible from every angle, staff is polite and the café is surprisingly organized!

Great place! We attended The Nutcracker and it was spectacular! Lovely decorations all over the venue and great spaces.

Three sounds coming from the performance is wonderful and the hall is beautiful.

Beautiful surrounding and pretty easy to find pay for parking at nearby lots. Depending on the performance, its great for a date or for time with kids. Ive been a season Tix holder for a long time as well as have purchased Tix a la carte and have enjoyed both. Ive never had a bad seat here or been unhappy with ballet, symphony or opera here. Everything is very well produced and professional. Definitely a great spot for special days.

Had a gorgeous evening at the Harry Potter live Symphony event.

Wonderful acoustics and the sight lines are set so everyone has a clear view of the stage. Weve attended the Nutcracker for over 10 years and have never been disappointed.

Symphony Hall is a beautiful concert venue. All of the Phoenix Symphony ticketing staff, ushers, and food cashiers I have come into contact with here have been pleasant. The hall isn’t freezing cold like some venues or movie theatres are. Note that there is not free WiFi available, but I don’t think that’s much of a problem since you really just watch the performance and leave. Just don’t plan on coming super early and getting internet-based work done inside. The food available for purchase inside is limited to “gourmet” chocolate chip cookies, bottled water, coffee, beer, drinks, and wine, so it’s a nice resource but don’t plan on eating dinner while watching the symphony!

Amazing show today ! Beautiful

Great shows, saw both the Nightmare Before Christmas and the Order of the Phoenix. Very well rehearsed, both conductors were professional and fun. Music done so well I almost forgot it was being performed live at times.

The Ballet Arizona performance was excellent however I hope the venue will consider some improvements. We went to the Sunday, December 15, 2019 performance. The usher at the portal was very rude and condescending. As we went to intermission another usher said very rudely that intermission was 20 minutes. I appreciate the communication however they need additional ladies facilities and refreshment stations. I believe there four alcoholic stations one one which served non-alcoholic drinks. One of our party left before intermission to get in line for refreshments. We immediately got into the ladies room line. The entire time we were worried about being late which definitely takes from the enjoyment. This was a family event - please plan more appropriately

The performance we saw is not under review here, so I will note just the venue. They were not equipped to deal with crowds with very few staff assisting people to seats, it became very congested. One patron got into a screaming match with another, yelling profanities at what should have been a high class evening performance, yet no repercussions happened and the offensive woman was allowed to return despite behavior that would have has her removed from a wrestling match. Another patron fainted, falling to the ground and there were no staff in sight for what seemed like an eternity to handle the situation. Thank goodness for the performance itself being exquisite as to overshadow the poorly managed and tended-to clients.

Great evening of wonderful Mozart music!

Symphony Hall always seems to have an air of relaxation surrounding it. Helps to enjoy being there

Took a bunch of 4th graders to the ballet and we had an amazing time! Thank you to all of the patient employees who treated us like royalty. The kids really enjoyed themselves and we cant wait to come back. The dancers were fantastic! 4th grade boys are hard to impress and they were talking about the show for the rest of the day. Loved it!

Symphony Hall is almost a truly magical place. The symphony itself is amazing! The hall is very beautiful. However, the seats are far too narrow. So much so that slightly overweight people should expect to be extremely uncomfortable, and the 50+% of Americans who are obese should just stay home.

This was our first time visiting the symphony . We absolutely loved it Not a bad seat in the house. Beautiful music.

Its so great to know that Phoenix has such a talented symphony orchestra. This season well be able to hear them perform most of Beethovens greatest works in celebration of the 250th anniversary of his birth. What a great opportunity to learn about and hear the genius of Beethovens gift to us all.

Beautiful venue! Also, very accommodating and helpful staff. An all-around great concert experience.

It was a theme program featuring The music of Abba. The full orchestra accompanied an Abba type singing group. Wife said the singers might even be better than Abba.

The first time Ive ever been to a live orchestra. They played along to Tim Burtons Nightmare before Christmas. One of the best shows Ive seen. I feel all movies should be experienced like this. As for the building itself it was nice an clean so were the restrooms. Drinks were sold from water to soda an alcohol. The staff was helpful an courteous. One little flaw is the seats are alil narrow, so big boned people will be somewhat uncomfortable.

Acoustics are great in this location. It also holds a great many of people rather comfortably. Parking at or near this location I would not say is preferable. And very clean, and neat.

The music and atmosphere was very enjoyable! I love listening to the symphony orchestra. It is very relaxing!

They seats need to be redone because they are not that comfortable but its a pretty good view no master where you sit.

Beautiful building! So convenient only steps away from the light rail. Fortunate enough to sit on the main floor. Acoustics were incredible.

Great place to go on a date night. No expectation to be super-dressy. I usually have a collared shirt and wife wears a dress. Just sit and enjoy the music!

We went to see Home Alone played with the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra. As this was our first symphony to attend, I have to admit the music was perfectly synchronized to the movie. Throughly enjoy the evening.

The Nightmare before Christmas! This was absolutely amazing. Enjoyed a couple baileys and coffees! A very memorable night for my wife and I.

It was such a nice performance!! We enjoyed very much. Thanks to our niece Lydia for invited us.

Saw the Nutcracker ballet and we were impressed with the performance and the set designs. Easy and affordable parking in the parking garage across the street

I didnt go through the whole place or probably wouldve given 5 stars. But it is a beautiful and roomy theater with great audio sound. Its right along the lite rail train system, but I dont know about parking for cars.

Very nice venue with great concerts. Lots of Pop concerts that are great for families.

Really nice venue, wonderful sound. Saw a movie with the symphony playing the entire score for the 1st time, really Great!!!!

Great place to listen to music.It sounded great in a large space. Also the Symphony band was great also.

Jason Isbell & 400 Unit...great show and the acoustics are fantastic..drinks are not overpriced which you would expect. Overall great place to see a concert.

Star Wars-A New Hope, an incredible experience! The movie is played from a projector above the orchestra, the score of the movie has been removed, so only movie sounds and dialogue is played. The subtitles are present which is a nice addition to the experience. The orchestra plays the score live, and they do an incredible job with entire movie. The credits is the best part of movie! Great for kids to instill an appreciate for fine arts combined with the cinematic experience. Cant wait for Empire Strikes Back! Also saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Highly recommended experience! Balcony seats are the way to go to see the orchestra.

Great place to see for the first time final Fantasy distant worlds tour the sound through the halls was truly worth the trip alone if they offered some sort of pillow or something along the line of sitting on would have been nice otherwise still a great experience staff was helpful and friendly

Saw a great Western Opera there Riders of the purple sage by s local composer Craig Bohmler
