Moody Performance Hall

The Moody Performance hall is so beautiful! Very modern, yet warm and welcoming. My husband and I went to Moody to watch a piano performance by pianist, Christopher Goodpasture, led by conductor Richard McKay. The program included the following pieces: Franz Schubert - Death and the MaidenFranz Liszt - MalédictionBoth were so well done!

I enjoyed the performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and a comfortable venue with good lighting. There didn't seem to be a lot of signage that tells where everything is located. The self parking was a $1 less than what I expected according to their emails. Nice surprise.

January 26th, 2020 was my first and only visit to the Moody Hall thus far. American Soprano Angel Blue was performing on a quiet Sunday afternoon in the Dallas Arts District. Getting to this area is quite easy off the freeway, but parking is limited to paid garage parking only and little to no street parking. Rideshare or getting a friend to drop you off in front of this concrete grey modern building, is your easiest transportation option. A good friend from Seattle whom is a Dallas Art season ticket holder and supporter of all things cultural, was treating us to a show. Her hotel provided shuttle service from her property location to Moody Hall. We tipped him a few bucks and went on our way. Which worked out really well. Once inside we picked up our Angel Blue program's and walked around a bit. We had a few minutes before the performance started. And since it was my first visit there, I wanted to take a few photos. It's an intimate venue, with roughly 750 seats and three seating tiers. During our 2pm visit, it was not yet dark enough for lights to be on, inside or out. The romantic in me loves a well light room, full of muted tones and hues. But with their floor to ceiling, two panel stained glass installation. With colors of Van Gogh rich yellow's, lapis blue's, and soft Chrysanthemum white's, popped with January winter daytime light filtering through their foyer. It's was a special beginning to a very entertaining afternoon. As we found our way to our upper left 2nd tier raised stage seats, we realized our seats were not next to each other. A very kind guest changed seats so I could be closer to the stage and sit next to my out of town friend. Nice people really do exist. Of course I offered to buy the thoughtful lady a drink from the concession, but she declined. Once the stage lights dimmed, my ears and eyes were in for a royal treat. Ms. Angel Blue has a voice that any heavenly angel would envy. She sang several arias, and other works that blew my mind. Angel had a Russian vocal coach, and learned the language and sang a Russian ballad this particular performance. Now that is talent folks!! Incredible. Amazing. Bravo indeedy!!I would highly recommend a trip down to this performing hall when you can. During our intermission, we walked back to the foyer to stretch our legs. People of all ages were enjoying this show, which is fabulous. My favorite talk, was with a dad & young son. They were spending quality time together taking in a fine performance. Indeed. We must plant seeds of culture to kids, how else with they grow up to appreciate the finer things in life.

I took my two kids to see a show here and it is a spectacular intimate space to watch a performance. The parking underneath is convenient. There were free drinks liquor and sodas included as we walked in with snacks to purchase for the kids to keep them tranquil. I will certainly be back for another performance. Everything went smooth and the family bathrooms were spacious and numerous.

This is a nice big performance space. They have a bar upfront which is perfect for the adults. No food which I can understand. I attended a symphony here and the acoustics were really good. The only negative is that the chairs leave something to be desired and were uncomfortable by the end of the show.

I've attended various types of performances here: musical, TED Talk SMU, and choral; all have been presented with excellent sound in this modern setting. Whether on the main floor or in the balconies, there is not a bad seat in this house!At the TED Talks, the very large bi-level open lobby provided ample space for food service and 'breakout' activities; although it can get rather loud, as to be expected with a high ceiling space.This performance hall is a great medium sized venue for the Dallas Arts District!

Went here for the Stand Up, It's Miller Time Comedy Show and we had a great time. The Performance Hall is very nice, loved the comfy seats and set up. I don't know what other events they have here but we were thinking it would be a great place to hold a Greek/Step-Show. It's not too big and not too little, the sound system needs some slight upgrading. There isn't free parking (duh, it's downtown), but there's plenty of surface lots in walking distance. Let me edit that - the free street parking is only for an hour, not sure how often they police the area for compliance but I'd rather not test my luck lol...

Beautiful performance of pride and prejudice, all the actors and actresses where amazing and wonderful representations of those parts. Beautiful music and background as well.

We've never been to this theater (recently renamed to Moody after a ton of money was bequeathed), but we'll be back. Thank you Moody family. Enjoyed a recital here on a Sunday afternoon. I was worried about the seating - from the photos the seats looked uncomfortable, but they're actually quite comfortable with padding and also quite roomy. I didn't feel like I was linking arms with the person next to me.The sound was great and I like the smallish venue. We'll be back and I look forward to it!

I've had the pleasure of both performing and attending a performance at the Dallas City Performance Hall and have had great experiences as both a performer and an attendee.I'm part of the Women's Chorus of Dallas (twcd.org - shameless plug here), and we had our holiday performance at this venue in December. We have an upcoming program for Women's History Month here next week and I can't wait to sing on this stage again! The facilities and staff are so accommodating. I am impressed with the dressing room area. There are two opposite of each other with tons of mirrors and great lighting, a shower, and lockers. In between the rooms, there is a common area for everyone to congregate before the show. They also have two private dressing rooms separate of the big ones as well. Backstage was spacious with lots of great technology and equipment to give our stage managers visibility to what's going on on-stage. There were many options with lighting, and the natural acoustics of the place was just great! As an attendee of the Turtle Creek Chorale performance, I got to experience this venue as a guest. I just love the look and feel of the space, very modern, and almost "spa-like" with the stone walls. The venue isn't overwhelmingly big, and seems like you could see the stage pretty well from every seat. Again, the acoustics of the place is just phenomenal - the sound really projects into the audience which works great with choral performances. This venue is located in the heart of the Arts District, but it is a little bit hard to find. Parking is also not too convenient as the lot underground sometimes is closed for certain members only. There is a pay lot $5 across Ross Street that is probably the cheapest and easiest.
