Beautiful big theater that brings some of the best performing arts groups in the world to BKLYN. Good bar on the 2nd floor as well .

Omar Haroun

Coolest opera house I've been to. In general shows at BAM are half the price and twice as good as most things in manhattan. Get more BAM for your buck

Nadine Campbell

Saw John Legend Live. Great acoustics . Get Orchestra seats .. Any of rows A thru F , treats you to the best view .

Gregory Fisher

Be careful when buying tickets. There is the front row A, which is very close to the orchestra , but sometimes they add even more rows closer, CC, BB, and AA, in increasing closeness to the orchestra !

Beautiful space and the Anthony Bourdain standup was fabulous

Fathima Dada

What a beautiful performance art centre, in Brooklyn. Gorgeous architecture and live music cafe upstairs.

Alejandro Rico

Don't get seats next to the speakers :S I know why this front line seats where cheap :S I'm here to have fun tho :)

Jacqueline Todd

If sitting in left or right balcony bring a sweater/scarf....the A/c vents are blasting to keep the whole place warm. Even the men in front of me had jackets on with hoods up!

Dan Lam

Beautiful opera house. Saw wordless music here and the sound was incredible.

Kate Willsky

Very pretty theater . Got an "obstructed view " seat that wasn't obstructed at all. Reeeeeally minimal leg room tho.

Katherine Lanigan

If seeing a foreign language opera, avoid sitting on the outside seats of the 4th and 5th orchestra rows... You will not be able to see the translation screen!

Dr. Michele Ivey

wonderful place for concerts ... Great sound ????..balcony seats however are Treacherous!!! Absolutely a danger ... no railings with the possibility of completely killing yourselves falling over ❗️

Gorgeous theater . Saw Into The Woods reunion with the original Broadway cast here. What a treat!

A few shows have been quite good. Nice views to stage too.

The film membership for two is a great deal. See all the first release films with a guest all year.

$3 beers and Mac N cheese . Happy Monday.

If you're in the nosebleeds, elective amputation may let you fit in the seats better.

Become a member, and you'll have better seats or first crack with the tickets
