Great performance

We got tickets the day of the performance in the concert hall. Excellent performance and music. Entertained the entire time. Easy to park and find many dining options and the concert hall is perfect.

front row seats

Our seats were front and center and we couldn't see the other half of the orchestra seated behind the violins. A terrible waste of money.
