Carnegie Hall

What a great tour! Mimi, was awesome, and she did a wonderful job of giving us fun, valuable information, and keeping the tour moving, without rushing us in any way. The tour was special, not just because of the history, but the fact that we were allowed to touch and sit in history. Obviously, this is still a running venue for the arts, so that makes sense, but so many tours don't allow us as tourists to be up close with everything to see and touch. I highly recommend the tour, but one word of advice, don't worry about getting tickets in advance if Monday-Thursday, because you pay a service fee online. If you want to be safe, I understand, but I recommend saving the $3/ticket and getting them at the ticket office.

Had the pleasure of seeing the Distant Worlds Final Fantasy performance. The event was well organized. We had bought tickets in advance and entered immediately through the front. Inside we only had to wait a few seconds to enter the orchestra hall. Restrooms were easily accessible and staff were friendly. The sound of the orchestra and chorus were amazing from our seats. Our seats were comfortable but they can be a bit tight for those who are tall. Thanks for an amazing experience.

We went to The NY Metropolitan Youth Orchestra concert last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The staff were very helpful and nice, the building is just amazing, and the performers were amazing. We had almost no leg room though and I’m considered shorter than average. Someone needs to tell the families of the students to stay off their phones, follow the rules regarding photography and videography, and to be respectful of everyone around them who is there with paid tickets to support these kids. We came from 16 hours away and specifically chose only one show/concert to attend for the entire week only to have phones and cameras constantly distracting us, grown adults talking in front of us, grown adults unable to arrive on time or wait until the applause to leave between sets, and all kinds of interruptions due to those amazing performers’ own parents and family being loud and obnoxious throughout nearly the entire concert. Also, pay attention to your own children performing and off your phones. Some of the people around us were scrolling on their bright screens for literally the entire concert until they rudely left in the middle of a set. It wasn’t just rude, it took away from their own children’s efforts and hard work. The kids did amazing. Parents, do better!

Imagine a serene weekend matinee at Carnegie Hall with your friend, indulging in the splendor of a classic concert featuring the New England Symphony and a choir. The hall is elegantly appointed, and despite the event's popularity, it's not too crowded, allowing you to enjoy the performance in comfort. After intermission, you find plenty of seats to move around, ensuring you can fully immerse yourself in the musical experience.

First there is more than one auditorium. Make sure you are standing in the right line. Definitely get tickets in advance to avoid the queue to purchase or pick up tickets. And if you're handicapped ask for directions to the elevator. That line maybe long so arrive early, there is a food bar but all that is allowed into the seating area are water bottles. Another handicap note- the handicap seating in the auditorium where we were is down front and your view of the stage may be partly blocked by staging, or pianos or items at the front.
