Carnegie Hall
Carnegie Hall is one of the most eminent music venues in the world
A world renowned music and concert hall, Carnegie Hall provides an awesome experience for the music aficionado. Music genres include orchestra, classic ensemble, chamber, opera, pop and jazz. Unfortunately if you are visiting New York during the summer months the season is concluded, but the schedule kicks into high gear by October.
Completed in 1890, the Carnegie Hall opened on May 5 1891 with a five day music festival. In 1986 the hall was rejuvenated with extensive interior renovations. Seeing the hall today one has to wonder that it had to be purchased by the City of New York to spare it from demolition back in 1960.
If you can't take in a performance you can still enjoy a guided tour of the hall for a small admission fee during the normal concert season.
Nearby attractions include: Central Park, Central Park Wildlife Center and the Museum of Modern Art.

Rated out of 5
You must enjoy this incredible experience! The seating space is tight for sure. So I do suggest people who have leeeeggggssss, to PLEASE get a box seat! Spend the little extra money for it lol. Other than that, or we'll be a magical moment you won't forget! They also have a gorgeous cafe and museum. Snack bars are available in your theater floor as well. They also have restrooms on 3 floors. I seen the phenomenal Gregory Porter last night and extremely glad I did!!

I watched the Nier Orchestra at Carnegie Hall with my bf and it was truly breathtaking! The music was so beautiful and emotional. J'Nique Nicole and Emi Evans' singing was stunning. Their voices gave me chills. Especially on songs like "Weight of the World". The whole orchestra was incredible, and Yoko Taro's appearing at the end was surprising to me. Even with our not-so-great seats in section EE, the music was so powerful it didn't matter. It was an unforgettable experience and I'm so glad I got to experience it. The seats are tight and there's a column that blocked part of the view from where I was sitting. Overall, very good orchestra concert.

Amazing building and kept well. It was a bit hard for elderly to climb to the top floor. The front seats of the top floors are a bit scary as the safety could have been improve with sliding up bars when people are taking their seats. The view however was great and overall very positive experience

Beautiful venue; easy to navigate; acoustics superior, parking garages plentiful many nearby cafes and restaurants.
Then there were the performances-absolutely unique, well combined and upbeat.
Bernie Williams, Latin jazz guitar-soothing and sensual. Then there was JONATHAN TETELMAN- HE BLEW THE ROOF OFF OF CARNEGIE! The range , the length, the power of his tenor opera voice--OMG! Even when he sang in his native American, pure bliss. Where did this god of music come from? The other performers were delightfully mixed with these two talents! KUDOS to Carnegie!
