“not as much back stage as I expected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2013 NEW

Still lots of fun and our tour guide was a font of knowledge and passionate about the venue. We were able to see people setting up for a performance from the front row... More

“Timeless, classic venue”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 13, 2013

Andrew Carnegie would be proud that this recently renovated, historical hall (CH) remains a classic venue for artists to perform. Shortly after it was saved from demise, CH hosted many of the world's best performers, writers, and others. Nearly everything about this hall is near perfection, I was mildy disappointed at the sound during a concert (I was seated in... More

“Unbelievable acoustics - especially when delivered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 6, 2013

I had come here because of the venue's reputation for great acoustics and I wasn't disappointed, and was lucky enough to see the Boston Symphony Orchestra, one of this country's greatest. Special treat was Michelle de Young and conductor Daniel Gatti. The hall itself is beautiful, its history seeps out of its walls and the sound is like nothing I've... More

“Better than Broadway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 6, 2013

Everyone has heard of Carnegie Hall, but have you been there? My wife and I have traveled to NY many times and we always try to see a Broadway show. But this trip my wife said she wanted to go to a concert at Carnegie Hall. So we went and saw the Boston Symphony. It was fantastic. Even though we... More
