| - I have no romantic attachment to Madison, Bucky, or State Street. I've been to Madison twice in my life. So when it comes to the Overture Center, I'm a fan. Great place, great theatre with fabulous acoustics, and an impressive programming schedule.
I came here on a Saturday night to see my friend's band play. And the theatre with its sparkling acoustics, decent site lines, and semi-unhorrible seats, was impressive.
I didn't get a chance to see the rest of the center (save for a few minutes during daylight, when I watched a young bride and her bridesmaids posing for pictures on one of the balconies) but I understand how the architecture could be seen as incongruous with the rest of the area. I, however, don't mind the contrast of post-modernism with classical American architecture, and find the juxtaposition playful and daring.
