Awesome performance. Highly recommended if you're a classical music fan. A big tip is to do their dinner and a performance combo. It's a great way to experience an awesome dinner and an amazing performance.

Went for the Distant Worlds - a Final Fantasy symphony. We had seats in the balcony....second to last row and could still see well. The acoustics were pretty good. The theater itself is beautifully decorated. The backdrop on stage is a massive pipe organ. Statues line the area on top of the balcony. We liked it and plan to see... More

Symphony Hall is a wonderful place to see a symphony performance. It has a wonderful historical feel. A great venue and worth a visit when in Boston.

The Ushers were all very helpful, especially with our running in a couple of minutes after the start of the performance after a delay... More

My husband, myself and another couple attended a show in November. The symphony was fantastic. Loved all of the music, with the exception of one piece that was just not for me. They have a wine/beer service before the show which is nice if you're looking to have a drink. We got a private tour backstage before the show and... More

I visited Boston Symphony Hall with a friend who lives in the area on a Saturday night in November. I had heard for many years about its famed acoustics and had been anxiously anticipating a visit here for quite some time. I had previously purchased tickets and a boxed dinner on-line and showed up about an hour before the show... More
