Meymandi Concert Hall

Great acoustics for starters. Nice seating as well! Bar and snacks and a welcome intermission. Parking is across the street within walking distance as well as hotel!

We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine:Parking: 4Location: 5Decor/ambiance: 5Customer Service: 5Meymandi is one of my favorite concert venues in the area! Talk about class... you will find it here. This is probably one of the classiest concert venues in the area. Parking is normally ok downtown just be prepared to pay a decent penny to park. The location is perfect. After a show, its within walking distance to so much. The decor is probably my favorite part about this place. I love the grand entrance. Its drop dead gorgeous. The service from people working events is normally spot on! Be sure to see one of the Christmas plays/shows that take place during the holiday! You won't be disappointed!

I come to watch the NC Symphony about twice a year and it is so easy. The venue is small and intimate, and the bathrooms are clean and spacious. Be prepared to park and walk a bit to get here, but that's downtown for you. Staff is always on hand to help you find your seat, and it's nice that there's a coat check right by the escalator you take to get down to the main orchestra seating. I haven't tried any of the drinks but it's very conveniently located--a nice bar, and some coffee as well!

We're in Fletcher Theatre which is part of the Progress Energy Center. We have seen the ballet here as well. It is a delightfully quaint theatre and fairly comfortable. Today we're seeing Love Letters with Sandy Duncan and Ita David Wood lll.

This is a great size for a theater- its not too sprawling, but quite large. There is plenty of parking (except when Harry Potter is playing next door apparently)- but just across the way is a paid lot for $5.As far as seating goes, I think the first balcony has excellent views- its not too far away, and being a bit higher beats being in the back of the ground floor (in my opinion).

This review is specifically for the concert hall, where we've seen several symphony and classical music performances (and even a jazz big band). Staff are polite and the sound quality is good. Even the back row is not too, too far from the stage. You can pay to park at nearby lots, or if you get there early enough, you can find free street parking after 5pm. If you want to save on service charges, buy your tickets at the box office rather than through Ticketmaster. There is a tiny box office in front of the main part of the building.

It was just an awesome experience performing on this stage! The acoustics are amazing, the dressing rooms are well lit and spacious, and the lobby is a creative person's dream with many aesthetic backgrounds to shoot your stills in!

Acoustically this theater is as close to perfect as any I've ever been in. No matter where you're sitting the sound is spot-on. Truly awesome. It's small, intimate, yet TALL. I confess to being scared of heights so am not a fan of being high up in the box seats. That being said, the reason I can't proclaim this theater to be 5-stars is the seating in the back of the first floor. There is a serious design flaw back there in that if you're not on the aisle there's no other way out without climbing over others. If you're in the middle of a back row you are so trapped. God forbid there ever be an emergency and folks have to get out fast, because you won't be able to do it if you're seated back there. Now assuming no such emergency ever exists, and assuming every performance here includes our incredible NC Symphony than we're all in great shape!

I attended the December 2014 concert of the Raleigh Ringers here. Arrived at the venue maybe 30 minutes before the show was to begin. Staff did a great job of moving the line into the facility. We had orchestra level seats and took the escalator down to that entrance.Great sight lines in the concert hall and wonderful acoustics. Seat space was enough so I didn't feel crammed into the seat.After the concert exiting the premises was a quick and efficient operation.Hope to be able to return for a North Carolina Symphony performance in the future.

I enjoy the symphony, so when I heard the classical music tour was coming I made plans to get a sitter and go on a date night with my husband.It was a rainy Friday night yet we lucked upon parking right out front. My tickets were at will call so was able to skip the line and go right in. Afterwards we decided to try one of the specialty drinks of the evening(Purple Rain dedicated to Prince who just passed away and The Walrus dedicated to the Beatles whose music was the focus of the show). The drinks tasted pretty similar and too sweet for my liking. Craft cocktails are probably not their strongsuit, so will get wine next time.After we received our programs, we got seated and was ready to hear the symphony. The show started on time and it was indeed a wonderful musical tribute to the Beatles. Why the 3 stars..the seats were very uncomfortable. So much so that we left at intermission for real drinks and live music at RYE.
