Attended Cleveland Pops Orchestra on Friday night thanks to @YelpCleveland ticket giveaway. Cleveland Pops is super cool - it's an approachable / more casual way to approach classical music. Show was 2 hrs with intermission, and was lively, fun, entertaining and educational.
Severance Hall is easily accessible in the University Circle area, lots of eateries to choose from nearby that, in warmer weather, are comfortable walking distance. Parking garage below the building is convenient and reasonably priced.
Inside the lobby and restaurant/cafe area are a bit elegant/old style design and lack of windows and natural light make it all a bit stuffy. Bathrooms were packed pre-show and a bit humid/warm (due for a major overhaul).
The Hall itself is beautifully decorated in gold and ivory, and music is crisp even at the high balcony level. View is quite decent, even in balcony.
In summary: if you're not into old fashioned stuffy orchestra, make it a date night and give the Pops a try:)
