I was lucky enough to get tickets for the John Williams/Steven Spielberg concert here not long ago. It was my first visit to Symphony Hall since it underwent an extensive multi million dollar renovation years ago. It was also my first time seeing the Phoenix Symphony in action since I was a kid.
What. A. Show.
The renovated building looks fantastic and modern with tremendous acoustics, comfortable seating, and great site lines. The Symphony rose to the occasion playing John Williams' greatest hits with near perfection and even Spielberg was taken aback. An amazing experience I'll never forget.
The venue seats about 2,500 so it's just a bit smaller than Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, but has a much more intimate and luxurious feel. Great place to come to catch the Symphony, a play, ballet, or lecture. Wonderful home base for Phoenix's performing arts scene.
