A beautiful old theater building; Ive been there many times for live music and movies. Movie tickets are very cheap, and you can actually afford a bag of popcorn without taking out a loan. The live music shows they have occasionally have included some well known performers. Very friendly staff, first floor (main level) is handicapped accessible; however, the bar (beer and wine) is on a lower level. I dont know if there is an elevator to provide wheelchair users a way to get there, Ill look next time.

Absolutely beautiful building. Walking in you can tell the amount of hard work they have out into it. Seats are fairly comfortable.Small concession stand when you walk through with some good items. Lights and sound are are great!

Beautiful theater with an interesting history. Great programming!

This place is awesome place people are very nice

So much fun. What a wonderful show. The Mersey Beatles are fantastic..

An absolutely gorgeous historical venue that serves as an upscale location for numerous events-- including graduation ceremonies, ballets, plays, and much more.Seating is well accommodating as there is orchestra and balcony options (no second floor wheel-chair accessibility, as far as I can recall). The comfortable movie-theater style seating is a plus.The location of the Smith Opera House itself is located on a quaint side-street in Geneva, offering opportunities to shop, to grab a bite to eat, or to take photos.

Very good venue to see a performance. Not a bad seat though we were at the very front.

What a rockin venue! We saw the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and what a show! ZZ Top meets bagpipes! Who could ask for any more! Dancing, singing, party on! Nice new restrooms and a bar in the basement. Easy free parking. We will be coming back for more!

Great place to see a show. Acoustics were great, snacks and drinks were reasonable. Nice new bathrooms downstairs. Show was great. Its dated, but pretty well cared for. An old gem.

We had a lovely time with you last night. Made the 3 hour trip worth it. Thank you. Felt safe, lots of staff, organized. 125 years. Rock on.

Smith Opera House is a magnificent, 125-year old venue, that has fabulous acoustics. Saw Keb Mo - it was great!

Very cool place, perfect size for a concert. Acoustics were great, beer was relatively cheap for a concert and easy to park/go out after

Weve been going for 30 years and the programs have improved over the years for the season pass. Love it!

Great venue with wonderful acoustics. Added bonus: free parking!

Very good show. Enjoyed the gospel music of the Blind Boys of Alabama.

Seats are a bit tight but hey people were small 100 years ago. Great show

Ken Mo was great. The warm up singer, not so much.

A gem in Geneva! Excellent shows, movies, music. Even the outdoor fund raisers are fun.

I really enjoyed seeing Lake Street Dive here. I would recommend that if you are going to allow people to go up to the stage tickets should all be the same price.

What an amazing space from the time you walk in, comfortable seating and even a starlit ceiling. Vibe to the tunes of Pat Metheny

Always delighted @ memories of growing up in the area and seeing plays, ballwts, concerts and movies in this classy theater

Beautifully restored.

Wonderful venue. Its been renovated in recent years and they have done a great job with it. I just hope that they can do more events and shows there. It is a nice place and would love to see it more active.

Fantastic little theatre, really well done.

Another amazing afternoon at acapella Sunday at the Smith opera house I hope they have a 3rd annual so you guys that missed it can have a chance to say what was I waiting for

The Smith Opera House was incredible. The place was very clean and they are doing a lot of renovations to the inside of the building. The things that they have done so far have only made a great venue even better. If you have the opportunity to attend a function at this location, I would strongly recommend it.

Its a beautifully restored old theater.

I saw a play there, dont remember it put loved the architecture of the venue. Very nice theater. (I have no culture, so I have been told. Explains not remembering the play)

I vary impressed with how it looked and will be back for another great showoo

This place is beautiful. The staff is very helpful. We saw a concert here and it was a great experience

If youre in town dont miss this historic local treat. If you cant catch a show stop in anyway to see the beautifully renovated theatre kept to its original splendor.

Excellent show but a bit long. Probably wouldnt care on a week night. 2hr and 45 min show without intermission.

My daughter and I were there for the Mersey Beatles. Enjoyed the show immensely and the theatre was beautiful with its architecture. Volunteers were very helpful.

Great venue and very interesting shows, check their website.AC equipped

Beautiful..comfy seats and lots of leg room. We saw the Mersey Beatles for the 2nd time and they were fantastic..we will see you next year!!

Beautiful opera house! you definitely dont see anything like this around this area!

We had a great time at the A Capella show today.

Great show, venue. Trey Rocks!

Its very beautiful inside but the A/C needs work.

This historic theater has just been renovated. The interior is a gorgeous backdrop for whatever entertainment youre there to see.

Very nice inside. First time there. Nursing graduation, front foyer area not accomodating for large crowds though.

Suzie, the “executive director” offered no help or problem solving with my accidental purchase of a ticket. She offered no help at all and no additional comments to help my situation. You call her your executive director? She’s a disgrace to the Smith.

Best concert Ive been to in ages. Also the staff and ushers were so kind and helpful..I will be checking into membership soon.️️️

Great venue for music, theater OR opera. Seats are a tad tight for my very large hips.

Lovely restored theater with a starry ceiling. Geneva Light Opera and other ensembles perform in the space.

Grand venue sustained with grass roots love.

It was a pleasure for our first trip to this local favorite to be for a wedding - Im told, possibly the first wedding ever held here? The theater is just gorgeous and full of interesting detail that added to the event and I spoke to others while we were there who have attended other things here and highly recommend it. Well be back to check out other offerings here! :)

Very beautiful historical building. Great show, Bruce Hornsby & noisemakers.

Very nice place to hold a graduation. It was a great place would love to visit again.

This is a key piece of Geneva history. A must see to know more about the areas history.

It was a beautiful place but management wise, it was terrible.The help was terribly un prepared for the amount of people that were there to be taken care of.Im not trying to be critical but honest.A third grader could have done better.I ve been in management and the level of service was almost thought of as perhaps someone playing a joke on the crowd.I know this place could be great but not whoever was managing it this last weekend.

Beautiful space to see a concert. Theyve done a really great job maintaining this historic theater. The prices on drinks didnt seem reasonable, but the show was good, staff was polite, and it was a really nice experience.

Classic venue for seeing performances. Saw a great rendition of Spamalot.

I have always loved the Smith and have seen many events from concerts to movies and musicals. Last night I attended the musical Evita presented by the GTG and was so impressed by the wonderful performance. I realize that Im not actually reviewing the Smith but the musical but this shows the quality of the shows are presented at the gem that the Smith is.

The Smith is bringing alot of great entertainment. Updates to the bathrooms and pub make it much easier to move around.

Nice

It is very historic! A must see

Love this building and the events! A beautiful restored building with great ambiance for theatrical performances. My students have enjoyed several performances here as well.

The sound for the Bruce Hornsby show was very disappointing. Muddy opening act sound prevented hearing lyrics, and he was a talented solo act. When BH came out it was still mush for the first 30 minutes. Way too much low end and excessive low midrange. The best parts were with acoustic trios. Those sounds were actually crisp.The opera house is amazing venue. Just gorgeous and Ive seen other shows thst had great sound, like Clair Lynch.

Wonderful theater for a concert, movie, musical or play. Huge screen can project the performers, etc. in the background.The seats are comfortable and angled down so everyone can see. For at least some performances there are not seats assigned, so get there early. Lines sometimes form outside on sidewalk. At least some bathrooms are located down stairs. There is a snack bar and bar. Located near by are other bars and restaurants. This theater is beautiful and has a nice variety of events.

Lovely old Opera House. We saw Windham Winter Solstice series performance here. It was great!

Saw a great movie. Always friendly people and a great venue for so many things.

Lovely 125-year-old theater with a very friendly staff! We loved seeing Ladysmith Black Mambazo! ️

Smith Opera House is a gem! I love all the art Deco details.

Always a great spot to catch a movie or show. Hope I can make it to a Studio Ghibli showing at some point.

Great venue for a concert.

Wonderful play!! They called her Vivaldi was wonderful!! Everyone was kind and helpful!!

Beautiful place...awesome acoustics

Some jock spilled a full genensee in my Clarks :(

Nice concert venue. Beautiful older theater.

Wonderful experience! A beautiful theatre with a beautiful woman!

Awesome night watching Mersey BEATLES..

Great historic theater. Ive been here for several different things over the last 40 years. Concerts, plays, movies and a graduation as well. Comfortable seating and great acoustics.

The acoustics are so good, when we saw the Avett Brothers they were literally singing off mic and we could hear them clear as day. Such a great and historic venue! Definitely see a show here!

I was at ticket office between THEIR hours of 10am to 4 pm Friday. Nobody there. No one answering phone, mailbox full, could not leave a message...Grrr

Wonderful venue for live music of all types.

A beautiful landmark in Geneva. This theater hosts independent films, French film festivals, amazing musicians, local theater, and more. Most recently I saw The Birdcage there as a fundraiser for the local LGBT group. The inside of the theater is ornately decorated. It feels as though youve stepped back in time.

Great place!

Wonderful venue. Intimate setting. Beautifully renovated 100+year old Opera house.

A nicely restored old theater. An intimate setting for an event.

Absolutely gorgeous inside!!

It was cool place

Beautiful venue with a great variety of shows and reasonable pricing.

Great venue for concerts. Reasonable snack and drink prices!

Just a perfect opra house. If there is a show there you want to see, just do it

Fantastic, brand new bathrooms, Genevas jewel

Seen so many great performers here.

Close by and offers local entertainment

Great food

Great venue for concerts

There are a few venues in the arts world where the venue itself is a great part of any show held there. Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, The Metropolitan Opera. Little Geneva, N.Y. has one of its own. From the moment you walk into the Smith Opera House you feel as if you enter both another era and another dimension. From the stars twinkling in its ceiling, to the baroque furnishings, the 1,300-seat facility exudes history. And it has some unique history. From the first public speeches of the Suffragette Movement to the last little-venue appearances of greats like Bruce Springsteen, many of the greats have played here. And Itzhak Perlman, the great violinist, honored this old houses acoustics as being among the best in the world. One of the few times I ever heard my own music come back to me with perfect clarity, he said. And with newer seats and now added air-conditioning, this is a great place to visit -- even if it just a showing of an old classic on the biggest silver screen in this region. Grab a show.

Awesome building. Would love to see a show here.

Awesome historical experience.

Beautiful, historic theatre with terrific acoustics. we

Decent venue and gender neutral bathrooms are a big plus.

The amazing staff and atmosphere an iconic Geneva staple

Nothing like live performances in such a beautiful venue. 123 years and counting, viva la Smith Opera House!

Great place to see wonderful artists like Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Visit some of the local diners like FLX or the Red Dove.

Beautiful venue and great people working there.

Its small, but this gives it a more intimate feel than a large opera house, and the acoustics are great. You cant tell much about it from the outside, but the inside is beautiful as well.
