Beautiful event hall. There about 800 seats and the sound is great! I had a concert here with the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestra. The lighting is great and really lets you see everything. From an audience perspective, if you sit in the higher seats youll have a better view of the stage if you are trying to see someone in the back. The back stage area is also nice and open. It was a little cramped for us because there were so many of us in the ensemble. However, the back rooms are full of couches. There are bathrooms backstage and there are also bathrooms in the lobby. The lobby is very nice and open with lots of space. Amazing hall!

It was a nice place for the graduation ceremony. My disabled Aunt was easily able to traverse the building. The seating was also nice.

Seen in movie Term Life. 5:42sec into movie a money truck is blown up to create diversion. This is the Georgia State University Rialto center for the Arts. The garage that the armored car was turning in to was at 66 Forsyth.

Great place for performances. Have been twice this year and well be going again April. I am looking forward to the 2020-2021 season. Glad to see a great performance hall in the heart of Atlanta. Great use of old movie house, thank you Georgia State.

What a beautiful venue! I seen Gladys Knight here and the show was fabulous!!! The acoustics were great and you could see the stage very well. I loved the smaller theater vibe it was intimate and personal. There isnt a bad seat in the house.

Nice theater. I was at a holiday office party. It was decorated real nice. The staff was friendly.

The Liberian Entertainment AwardsRialto Center is beautiful. Its very easy to find and you can find really great parking lots very close to the entrance.That is what I like about this place the most

What a venue. I can only imagine what a stage play or musical is like! Let alone an awards ceremony!

Love this space! They put on great evening event for dia de los muertos! Free food music and face painting. It was open to the public and they made sure to give some history and explain the various traditions to guess who may have been new to the celebration.

An all around superb theater. Acoustically, I barely had to raise my voice in order to make myself heard from the stage. Very well designed indeed. The interior design choices are stunning as well. Exposed wooden beams spanning the length of the room draw your eyes to the stage at all times. I really enjoyed my visit, and cant wait to come again.

Had a great time at this venue when we went to see the BAP concert. It’s not a huge performance center, so you get a more intimate feel to the performances. The acoustics and sound quality there safe great, and the staff is well trained and efficient. They didn’t have any type of concessions when I went there, which was kind of a bummer. I’m not sure if that’s all the time of just the show that I was at though. All in all I had a great time and would absolutely go to more shows at this venue.

I attended a concert at the Rialto Theater, and I had a great time. The interior is nice and clean, and a lot larger than it looks on the outside. I love that its on the corner of intersecting streets, and it has a very classic look to it. Its a neat place to see world musical recitals or performances. Ticket prices can vary a lot, depending on who is performing. I have seen ticket prices as high as $200, and some are free. Nonetheless, I would love to visit again.

Was confused about finding parking that was free; otherwise, what a great show by Dee Dee Bridgewater and awesome Rialto hospitality!

Great place for a concert. Wonderful venue. Clean. Lots of bathrooms for a big crowd. Lots of dinner choices nearby. Parking walking distance and less than one block.

Wonderful Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra Concert! It was wonderful to see their students perform!

Nice-looking remodeled theater Great for small events good acoustics Georgia State University if you did a great job

Good acoustics. Comfortable seating. Bland decor. Plenty of parking nearby.

8 pm is not 8:20 pm. Big difference. If show cant start at 8 pm. Just put it 8:30 or 9 pm.

Beautiful place to go and enjoy a show!

Loved the wonderful Celtic Christmas show! Great staff.

I bought two tickets totaling more than $100 online to see Celtic Christmas in Atlanta but unfortunately I was distracted and purchased them for the wrong day. I called to see if they could exchange them since I was meeting friends. The manager said that is was against their policy to exchange tickets, but if I wanted too I could spend an additional $100 plus to buy two more tickets for the following night. I tried to explain that was a lot of money and I couldnt really afford to buy two more tickets. And the worst part is they still have a lot of open seats. I simply cannot believe that an arts theater wont exchange tickets to ensure the a broad audience gets to see their performances. But as the manager stated, its only a privilege that they extend to season ticket holders. So if you cant afford to be season ticket holders, you are out of luck. They have lost two customers for life. There are other small but talented theater companies that dont have such rigid policies. Check out Serenbes. They have great performances that are accommodating to everyone. And the tickets are more affordable!!!

If you know your changes, youll love it here.

Great place for a show. We went to the Celtic Christmas show, which I recommend. Facilities are well maintained and the atmosphere is pleasant. Parking is free with validation in the parking deck. The lot across the street is not. It was great fun and we will be back!

Great music Awesome people Great house to play.

We had an incredible time at the Dee Dee Bridgewater event

Wonderful evening. AileyII was excellent. Great venue for outstanding productions.

Great venue for an event. The Liberian Entertainment Awards was held here and it was very nice.

It was ny first time at this locale. This was my daughters graduate graduation. We were pleased with the ambassadors showing us to our seats. Hiwever, we were very very upset that their were no programs given for the 3PM graduation!! My daughters class was smaller compared to Ga State 10am program who guests received programs. This was a total disservice to family and friends iof the graduate commencement exercise @ 3pm. We have no written history to document our childrens, spouses etc. graduate experience . WHY WOULD A UNIVERSITY as Large as GA State University short change its students who have paid for their education?As well as countless hours spent finishing requirements for their individual programs. To be denied something so significant to their connencement as a program to docunent completion of a milestone is a disgrace!! Family and Friends that traveled from.distances to share in the GRADUATE EXPERIENCE of their loved one. The least that GA STATE UNIVERSITY could have done was taken time to PRINT PROGRAMS for the GRADUATE Graduating CLASS of 2019 December 17th @ 3PM... This was a SMALLER CLASS than the 10PM graduate commencement class who family and friends received them. WHAT A DIS GRACE and DISSERVICE GA STATE to be DENIED sonethibg that only took 1 hour or less to print . NO EXCUSES ARE ACCEPTABLE for this OFFENSE GA STATE UNIVERSITY to the parents, friends of the GRADUATE Graduating CLASS of 2019 , December 17th @ 3PM.HOW DOES GA STATE. CORRECT THIS DISSERVICE ? PRINT and. SEND PROGRAMS to each GRADUATE ofDec 17th , 3PM Graduate Commencement Simply, print a program and mail one wirh each students degree . PROBLEM SOLVED.( knowing that some. family and friends still want get one). PlEASE dont allow tthis disservice to another graduating class.Mrs. Angelous Young Bey

Atlantas Rialto Center for the Arts consistently presents remarkable performances not available elsewhere. Perks include free validated parking at a nearby lot. And easy in house access to an elevator for those who need it. The Rialto is a Georgia State University venue and visiting artists often enriched the life of students with their master classes and workshops.

Lovely venue with lots of pre and post show activities available.

Late night run for togo order. Friendly staff at the front. Service was good while i was there. Food was a bit slow to prepare.

This is an awesome Amphitheater where I had the pleasure of being the Music Director for a hip hop gospel play Deliver Our Male. Stay tuned for more upcoming events...

What a beautiful place in a gorgeous location! I attend a graduation of Georgia State University here and the ... atmosphere was amazing! (Quite sexy if you ask me!) It was exquisitely regal, which was definitely appealing considering I traveled from out of town to visit and attend. It was decorated nicely, clean and ritzy for all intents and purposes. Id happily attend another event in this venue.

Great venue with excellent shows. I normally see 2 or 3 shows a year at thie venue...love it.

They have amazing shows here. My wife recently had an art showing of her work. Im looking forward to getting a showing myself

Great venue that puts on top notch shows!!

I had a wonderful time. I will be going back soon.

I came here to watch a Korean historical film on behalf of the Korean Consulate of Georgia. It was nicely lit and the bathrooms were clean. my chair in the auditorium was rocking off the hinges but I didnt mind Lol.

Beautiful place but again the homeless and mentally ill is out and feelings of being unsafe

GSU has done so much for the revitalization of Downtown and this enormous renovation started it all. I believe the Rialto had always been a movie theater, but the acoustic changes and the attention to detail has made it into a true world-class facility perfect for the talent of the GSU School of Music.The lobby usually has great art work (that seems to change pretty regularly) and is open yet welcoming. The classic entrance and the large electric sign outside pay homage to the original look of the theater. The location is ideal and parking is easy, close, and affordable (for Downtown). You can easily park, see a concert, and enjoy the area before or after.The theater itself is intimate, but larger than I expected the first time I visited. The ceilings are extremely high which I am sure play a part in the great sound. Seats are comfy and the positioning of seats allows all areas to have a great view.You can rent the center and several events have been held here recently that received quite a bit of positive press for the building.It really is just a beautiful, perfect spot to enjoy great music!Fun Fact: the small side street across from the entrance is often called Marvel Street due to the constant filming of Marvel movies. If theres a Marvel movie being filmed, you can bet that little street will be hopping.

Been a long while since Ive been in the Rialto. Acoustics were great, seats were comfortable enough, space was a little dated, but you can feel the history and all the great music and art.

A wonderful experience for all! My 2nd granddaughters Masters Degree in the Arts of Linquistics from Georgia State University was held here! It was wonderful!!!!

Reasonably good audio but it does make a difference where you sit. Audio quality in the Orchestra section is significantly better than the Loge section. If you attend a performance that is part of the Rialto Series, you also get free parking with validation. Traffic can get pretty gnarly in that part of downtown Atlanta, so give yourself plenty of time to reach the place.

I always enjoy seeing shows at this venue.

My first time coming to this theater for my Daughters play. Nice atmosphere. The employees were really friendly and I found it easy to park with a $4 fee. Enjoyed my time there will possibly come to more events in the future.

The Rialto is an outstanding, and accommodating, venue in downtown Atlanta. This was our first visit, and we were greatly pleased. We were celebrating in Atlanta for the evening, and saw Anoushka Shankar. The concert was intimate, passionate, and offered a a wonderful talk before the concert. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed a beautiful, amazing holiday gala performed by Georgia State University Atlanta and Perimeter Campuses and the Charles R. Drew Charter School. It really put you on the mood for holidays. Think Ill go home and put up my tree.

A well appointed theater with great sound and a high brow audience. Perfectly quiet venue.

Very nice place.

The Rialto acoustics are great for patrons listening to (jazz) music. The cozy setting makes it cozy as well.

Awesome performance venue!

Great cozy place with good sound and seating. Plenty of parking around, plus they have a parking deck.

We have attended several concerts here. There does not seem to be any poor seating locations. Watching a concert here is a great experience.

I went with my girlfriend to watch Celtic Christmas. Great place, next to a 24-hr Landmark Diner. The performance was amazing! Coffee wasnt great though. Mom was right, classic music and theatre are truly worthwhile.

Intimate, reasonably comfortable and good acoustics. Relatively easy to get in and out of

Great small venue for live performances such as dance, concerts, plays. A PAC for Georgia State University right in downtown with several parking garages very close. Plus an old style Diner right across the street for after show meals, dessert, and/or coffee.

Not clean. has a wierd smell

Great location. Supporting the student art of music. Acoustic and design of this establishment is superb. Very secure location and parking available with your events

Was there to attend Anoushka Shankars show. It was very well organized.

IT was a concert there I went &4friend we enjoyed it very much &a nice place to visit ,its not the old (Really its better

Dont be square see some artistic expression

Terrence Blanchard was great!!

Intimate building for great sound for the music

The Rialto really rocks. Last year my neighbors daughter graduated, from Georgia State Law School. My neighbor mentioned that they had at least 36 Family members, they really wanted to do something as a group, I suggested some other places they could check out. She mentioned that they didnt want to spend $15.00 a person to see 1 movie, I suggested the Rialto, because they where showing a triology 3 Starwars movies @ 5.00 each, the last 3 made surrounded sound for all the special effects, movie screen, comfortable movie seats, a very beautiful venue, I also mentioned that they should go on line to inquire and see their calendar of events. Their relatives as far as the West coast, UK, still email my neighbor to say that they fell in love Georgia, My son and I also went, my son told by his ROTC group, every one was impressed by the sights and sounds of the Rialto, Atlanta Georgia, bldg, is owned by Georgia State.

I really enjoyed it

One of Atlantas best performance venues. Not a bad seat in the theater.

I am strictly a rock music and soccer guy. But so far Ive attended 3 different performances here and Ive really enjoyed the latest 2 performances Ive attended. Its awesome that I only have to pay only one-tenth of whatever a non-GSU adult has to pay to attend performances here. If youre a GSU student you must check it out.

Great theater with comfortable seating. Enjoyed the performances!

Watched Ballet Hispanico. It was AMAZING!

Joey Alexander was amazing. Great show!!

Nice and elegant venue for any type occassion. Always nice!

We attended the Gala Holiday Concert and the show was outstanding. The best part was the Saxophone Grinch part. Also, we had great seats.

Not a bad seat in the house. The venue was cozy and comfortable. We were there for a dance performance, and the venue didnt disappoint. It isnt a huge venue, but that is what makes it great.

I came for a GSU Opera performance and found it to be a nice venue which sounded swell from where we were sitting. It was good they had concessions for the intermission because it wasn’t a short performance.

It was nice but remind me of the old movie theaters. Stairs to high its to be updated to a more compatible seating.

1st time there. Very nice and intimate

Beautiful Building. Concert of Ballet and Jazz and Rhythm Blues.

Beautiful facility.

My daughter had a recital here twice and I liked all the experience.

Awesome and historic venue for live music. Hosts some of the best shows in Atlanta

It was a great venue for a graduation! Very nice

The Rialto Center for the Arts is a class act! All seats are fantastic, and the entertainment rivals the other theater locations in Atlanta. The performances are amazing, and employees are professionals, and it is kept neat and clean.

Great intimate venue to see a play.

Its a nice place. I love going to the Rialto.

Watched the incredible Georgia State Concert Band and Wind Ensemble.

Auditorium is lovely and warm but the lobby area is really limiting for events that are all-immersive.

I looked into rialto because my upperclassmen friends older brother had a gig there. It was amazing. Emmanuel Chops Smith is pretty groovey! Overall I had a great time...!

Great facility. I attended a fashion show that was held in the lobby area of the theater. Space was adequate. It was a nice facility.

World class artists. Even my sister has performed here. Director is superb.

Great Experience each time I go to see my sons perform.

Great place to watch a show.

It was a graduation. It was cool.

Beautiful venue and amazing performance by the bands at Georgia State

A great venue for the Milner Award and John Legend.

Very, very nice!

Awesome Venue️

Have been here many times for performances and events. Great space and easy walking distance from where I live.

Hunchback is a great musical! Well written, superb talent. Go see it!
