Absolutely LOVE the orchestra every time we go. What a great occasion to get dressed up and enjoy the talented folks who keep music alive! Upon our arrival from the skyway we were greeted with a photo opportunity to take a photo in a "snow globe", what a cute way to make a great memory! As we headed downstairs the orchestra was all decorated with holiday themed hard and there were multiple bars and food stations for our evening. They are full service bars so feel free to order mixed drinks. The prices are a little steep but it is downtown. My favorite part are the support of the ushers, they are always so kind and helpful. Also, did you know that there are lockers to hang your coats? Definitely take advantage of this feature in the side halls if you don't want to fold your bulky coat under the seat- the lockers are free and have wooden hangers to keep your items! Then just take the key with you into the hall. We saw many folks miss this so sharing the educational so you can truly get a luxury experience! The orchestra has been doing a variety of events lately- not just music. On our 4th time back we have seen live acrobatics and this time we watched a live musical performance of the screening of Back to the future! A real joy! We will happily come back to support this org any time!

Enjoyed a great afternoon show at orchestra hall. It was a smaller chamber concert so not the full orchestra later but still very enjoyable and they picked really unique interesting pieces to play. I parked in the lot that's connected by skyway which made it convenient. Some of my Friends it was their first time going. Also I love the complimentary lockers to hang coats up in. I look forward to coming back again!

I love Orchestra Hall. They have a huge variety of shows- from classical to performing with pop stars to playing movie soundtracks while you watch the movie. The Orchestra is world class and beautiful to listen to, and if there's something you might want to see there, don't hesitate- just go.

I've always had a good experience at Minneapolis' Orchestra Hall. I've sat in the front and clear in the back and even in the balcony which I kind of prefer. It's fun to get a birds eye view of the entire orchestra and see how they work together.This was my second Dessa concert there. Superb. Such an amazing combo of classical, hip hop and harmonies. I've also enjoyed Vocal Essence choir concerts here and even the orchestra itself. It's a visually interesting sound stage with the combination of visuals on the back walls cubes it's a fantastic way to enjoy music classic and contemporary. Check them out for an amazing evening of all sorts of talent.

I just enjoyed my first concert here at Orchestra Hall, and boy, was I a fan. What an exceptionally talented group of musicians, and what an impressive variety of styles of music. Super acoustics made for a better-than-average listening experience. The building is beautiful, clean, and well-organized. Between the design and the friendly, helpful staff, the flow of people in and out was efficient despite the popularity of the series I was attending. What a great evening!

Get off that couch and put down your mobile. Minneapolis has TED yes the short amazing talks that stimulate your mind and spark conversions. This is a great event to learn and explore and quench your hunger for knowledge and curiosity. This event was held at the beautiful Orchestra Hall. If your just not interested in Tedx then come go to thier website and check out some of thier amazing events, they have something for everyone. Or take a stroll around the area and bring your kids to cool off on a hot dayI had a blast and for those of you that know me, I would not recommend something that I think sucks. Come see me next year @TEDx Minneapolis 2024 if your interested in Tedx. If you don't know now!

Went here for an opening party and I thought it was an awesome venue. The multi-floor approach created a nice separation where you could have different activation areas throughout.

I live orchestra hall. I went for a screening of Frozen with the full orchestra. I was brought to tears many times. The orchestra is so incredibly talented and then experience is jaw dropping. Such a fun afternoon with friends and loved seeing all the kids dressed up! Parking is so easy in the attached garage. Lots of options in the concessions and I never have to wait too long for the bathroom. All around would recommend.

I'll start off by saying I'm not a classical music connoisseur but I have always appreciated the skill and precision of the very talented musicians. That said, the MN Orchestra has found a wonderful way to fully engage me. I've attended a couple of movies played here with a live orchestra. Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story were shown with the orchestra playing all music and sound effects. If you have never seen this, I highly suggest you try it. You will be surprised how much more engaging the movie becomes and have fun with the many ways sound effects are made with the instruments. You really appreciate how much the music helps tell the story. Most recently I attended the Joyful Echoes performance. This performance combined instrumental music with singing and storytelling. It was wonderful. I'm positive I've never laughed so hard I cried at any concert ever. The stories highlighted the diversity of traditions and culture in a funny, engaging, and thoughtful way. The talents of these artists were appreciated and contributed to a festive holiday spirit. Merry Christmas Minnesota Orchestra.

CONCESSIONS now running smoothly again. They now accept both cash and CC. Most cold drinks can be taken into concerts. Some parking issues if parking in Hilton Ramp across street. No longer managed by Hilton? Sometimes skyway door to Hilton Hotel locked when concert exits. Have to walk outside, since no skyway access. Can use attached ramp, which can be very busy. Recommend. We like to arrive about 1/2 hour early and get refreshments.
