I'm here in Seattle visiting my son, so I wanted to check out the Seattle Symphony with him, which means Benaroya Hall. Luck had it, that the Symphony was playing with the Harry Potter Movie "Goblet of Fire". Geek night out it is... It's a beautiful Hall, with many glass panes throughout the main lobby, that pull in beautiful light with cool reflection opportunities as that light..and you, change location. It was a sold out show this evening, (duh), but we had no issues getting around inside. Logistics in here is a breeze, and the crowd moved fluidly about, on all 3 floors for that matter... especially those on broomsticks. We took the water taxi over from W Seattle, and then simply walked here, so I'm not well versed on the parking situation. But I'm now versed on the "mean streets" of Seattle, because we had to walk thru a couple blocks of them to get here. Wowsers... The Lobby was quite nice inside, with plenty of seating on all the levels to enjoy your martini and people watch. We sat on nice sofas on level 3 looking down at all the common folk. Be smart like us, and pre-order your drinks for intermission, which allows more time to sip on them, as you can't take your drinks inside. The acoustics inside the Hall were wonderful and it appeared that there weren't really any bad seats. The angle of the orchestra seating allows for better viewing and line of site. Even the side boxes are slightly angled toward the stage instead of looking directly across the venue...brilliant. The crowd responded loudly, and consistently to the Movie, Conductor Sarah Hicks, and it's Home Team Orchestra! It was an extremely satisfying first experience for sure! Now... if we can only slip past those creatures outside the Hall. Wish us luck Harry!

Fantastic Hall to see the Seattle symphony in. The sound here is amazing and if you are lucky you get to see something where they play the house organ. Sounds so good. We saw the music of sci-fi movies and it was a night to remember. The symphony sounded so big and the details you could hear from every instrument were amazing. Pro tip, make sure to purchase the parking with your tickets. Makes the whole night so much easier.

Attended Seattle Symphony it appears there are almost no bad seats. The Orchestra was outstanding, for not being a dire fan of classical music I enjoyed it tremendously.

The acoustics were incredible! We saw the Symphony in concert, including a violin soloist, from the right side (facing the stage) on the floor. Each section was clearly visible and audible and the soloist was easily distinguished from the orchestra (not too mention the fact he was excellent!). The blend of the orchestra was quite good, from an acoustical standpoint. The architecture was beautiful. Highly recommend seeing something that tickles your fancy or broadens your horizons there!

What is their policy on bringing props for cosplay? I am considering bringing my lightsaber for a cosplay for a star wars concert.

Steven Zingale | Aug 11, 2022
Amy Robinson | Aug 12, 2022

Costume and handheld props are encouraged for the movie showings. Just be considerate - don't bring things that overlap to your neighbors seat, or obstruct someone else's view. Plus, I'm don't think the garage entry is wide enough to accommodate your own personal Millennium Falcon

What place are open for food near by on the weekends? Last time I was there tons of place but close for the weekend.
