…this hall where the Symphony performs is comfortable and has amazing acoustics . This is a building you go to hear, not see.

Hamza Ak

I have many pleasant memories in this beautiful theatre . I appreciate all the great seasons Seattle Symphony offers.

Tyler Szabo

Balcony seating is particularly good. The hall is welcoming and offers consistently pleasant performances :)

Get a little fancy and check out the latest offering from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Take a moment to pause in the lobby to admire the beautifully lit Crystal Cascade glass sculpture .

Ricardo Hernandez

Excellent arts hall. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of productions.

Mel was awesome when Kerry and i ended up sitting in different boxes. He totally took care of us and made sure we had seats together.

John L.

A beautiful venue, with great acoustics ! ????????

Seattle resident teens can use Teen Tix and get in to many events for $5. Also, watch out for the carpet...it's low pile to not absorb so much sound, and is slippery

KC Star

For restroom during intermission , use the side door if you are on the orchestra level.

After raising $159 million in private funds — the largest amount ever raised by an arts organization in the state of Washington — Benaroya Hall opened its doors in 1998.

Every year around New Years, Seattle Symphony will play Beethoven 's 9th. I'm normally not a classical music fan, but this one is definitely worth going to. I plan to do it again this year.

Do Nguyen

a blind person would love to listen to the music here, a person with vision would love the ambience.

Be sure to pre-order a drink for the intermission , and avoid the half-time rush.

Don't miss the tragic grammar on the signage at the Puck cafe . Its all, about the soup de jour.
