Cameron Ryan

Great venue to watch a ballet . I've sat in almost every section & never a bad seat. I love all the the marble work & chrystal chandeliers . Gorgeous theatre . They also check ALL bags at the doors.

Cyn Stoltz

Amazing architecture , a sense of what it was long ago. NO leg room though so almost impossible to get comfortable after the first half hour of sitting. Try for aisle seats , little better.

Samantha McDuffee

If you get there late and you're, "on hold" ask about balcony seats for the current act instead of watching the screens. Still a great view and you can get your real seats after intermission .

Geoffrey Grove

Aisle seats on the outer aisles stagger outward giving an unobstructed view for children. You can also use booster seats that are provided for children to use.

Ali

Exquisite interior design and magnificent acoustics . Visit the building for it’s own sake even if you don’t like the kind of music they usually play there.

Michelle Richardson

Just been to production of Love Never Dies. Just beautiful. Great acoustics ....not a bad seat in the house.

Eric Andersen

Restrooms downstairs; expect a long line for both men and women during intermission

Al S

Be respectful and courteous and don't take any pictures or use your cell phone during a performance . There's a reason the ushers get angry when you snap pics: It's rude and annoying.

Andy Bartholomew

Beautiful building interior and a great place to see the performing arts .

Sofia Papastamelos

Beautiful venue! I come every year to see the nutcracker .

Scott Joy

Beautiful place to enjoy live theater !

Evan Kanouse, III

See anything and you're in for a treat! God forbid if you try and take a picture: those angry little gnomes they call ushers will come yelling! Great place, though.

SiLan

Get half-priced tickets for lots of shows at Bostix.org or go to their kiosks at Faneuil Hall or Copley Square early for day of show tickets.

Ana Paola

The Nutcracker is the prettiest I've seen in the country . So far. Well done. Be sure to look at all the lovely renovations.

Enrico S

I was there for the Nutcracker , great show and charming atmosphere.

Timm McIntosh

Theater is very wide, so seats on extreme sides may be obstructed/limited view . But on the plus side, are likely discounted !

Joanne Sardini

Watch out for the hawk eyed ushers - they'll punish cell phone use!! Worth getting seats forward of row Q for best views .

Verónica Rincón

You are in Boston, you like musicals , you are a student, you have to visit this place.

Cindy

Tthe theater was cramped. Our knees pushed into the seats in front of us causing us to be extremely uncomfortable. The theater seems to be a bit of a fire hazard with only one way out from upstairs.

Barbara Crowther

Boston Ballet is in the house this Holidays with The Nutcracker ! See this New England favorite and do some Holiday shopping while you're at it at the beautiful holiday shop!

Joanna Humphrey

You are always in for an astounding evening with the Boston Ballet - be sure to make at least one of their productions!

Krisha Marcano

Great theater ! Beautiful house and great crew.

Two Degrees

Two Degrees bars are sold here! Buy a delicious food bar and give a medically formulated food pack to a hungry child. Is Good. Does Good.

Loring

Docent said only time to get Mezz Box tix is for a concert , otherwise you cant see the whole stage.

Alex H

Best vocals of any wicked performance I have seen yet. AmaZing.

The Feast

Catch the Boston Ballet for cheap by getting to the Opera House an hour before doors open. Tickets can go for up to 50% off. Students can get into most performances for $25.

Kevin Liu

If you can get it, the best seats in the house are always in the "Dress Circle."

Massachusetts Convention

Boston Common Garage is a short walk from the Boston Opera House. On weekends and evenings (after 4PM) parking is just $11.

No need to buy a $4 bottle of water. There are plenty of water fountains with deliciously cold water and they let you bring in outside bottles so you could bring in a reusable water bottle. - John Brody
