Not what you'd usually see in this venue, but the acoustics are wonderful. A large pipe organ towers over the back stage, but only lends drama to the atmosphere. Though there are several balconies, there isn't a back seat in the house. The muscial and dance preformances were enhanced by this location.

Everything was wonderful from the staff to the seats and the intermission. There is a shortage of restrooms in this location and access is limited for handicapped but manageable with patience.

Home of the Seattle Symphony and other musical ensembles. Of course, the program is the thing, but whatever your choice, the beauty, acoustics, and comfort of this beautiful venue will add to your enjoyment.

I recently attended a one of a kind concert at Benaroya Hall. One of the best bands of Rock gave a home town "Concert and Conversation" prior to entering the Rock and Roll HOF.

Just saw the Seattle Symphony perform Igor's Firebird and a suite from Leonard Bernstein's score to On the Waterfront.

I really enjoy coming here. Any seat in the house is great for sound and view. I am more partial to the 2nd tier balcony, but that is just me. You should visit.

Saw Heart here last week. Great venue and would go here again in a second. Comfy seating, great acoustics. The location is easy to get to, especially from the downtown hotels.
