The whole building just seems grand.No matter where you're sitting, you get a great view of the stage. It was magical night or maybe "The Nutcracker just puts me in a magical mood".

Really nice venue, great times to be had here. Parking underground for $7 is easy but beware it may take awhile to exit after the show lets out.

Vlad Davidiuk

Many good performances here for many years. One of my favorite places. Always here for opera.
