Boston Symphony Hall

A beautiful concert hall that plays to the traditional symphony concerts and pop style party hall. This concert hall has tremendous acoustics and history. We had a dinner event here and were able to experience both types of music from a good conductor.

Home to the BSO and the Boston Pops! I had wonderful experiences and I am very glad I visited multiple times! It was worth dealing with the Boston traffic and streets! I was astounded by the Hall! I liked the architecture and the sculptures that were above the balconies. Though being on the third 🥉 floor balcony and looking up at naked men is weird! I found information ℹ️ about the history and 📛 names of the statues on the second 🥈 floor. I attended the Boston Symphony Orchestra's performance conducted by Andris Nelsons. Having a front seat 🪑 near the center of the stage I could see details of the performance I would not have had further away. The sound quality was great though. I have read that the best place to hear 🙉 a performance is the center of the bottom floor. I have attended the Holiday Performance and the live music 🎵 showing of "Jaws" performed by the Boston Pops. The staff were great 👍! A member of security said that I reminded her of Keith Lockhart. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Drinks are expensive 🫰 but I expected that. History is on display here and there was a lot of information ℹ️ to read. I wished I arrived a little earlier so I could read it all! Update: December 2024; I enjoyed the Boston Pops! If you upfront in the balcony, try to get a corner seat 🪑 so you can observe all of the orchestra. The same security guard from my last visit found me and took my picture in front of a Christmas tree 🌲 with my phone 📱. I think 🤔 Kieth Lockhart has at least 20 -30lbs on me. :-) Update: May 2025; Music 🎵 of the Cosmos with the Boston Pops and George "Sulu" Takei was interesting. Sunita "Suni" Williams, one of the astronauts who unintentionally spent nine months in space 🌌 🚀 made a surprise 🫢 appearance! There is an elevator 🛗 available. The bathrooms were busy but in decent shape from heavy use. I really recommend a visit! Download the SpotHero app to find parking 🅿️.

Symphony Hall is one of the best concert halls in the world. If you want slightly lighter music, you can also see the Boston Pops here. They take out the orchestra seats and replace them with five tops and provide table service during the concert. Pops Punch is the best. We went to the Boston Speakers Series tonight and heard from Andrew Lloyd Weber. Great hall.

Classic style concert hall with excellent acoustics and sight lines. The seats are not particularly comfortable, however. It feels to me as if you are forced to sit upright but without any sort of lumbar support. For a concert of 2 hours or less, it's acceptable.

This place is the bomb. Love going here. Take the free tour if you’re around. The organ demonstration is breathtaking. So cool to be in the same space as hundreds of history’s greatest modern musicians!
