Wonderful venue. Easy to get to and depart. Parking cheap or free (street). Many places to eat before show within walking distance. Snacks and soft/hard beverages and spirits sold inside. Loved my Experience!

I always hate to drive in to Raleigh from Hillsborough but my father-in-law gets really really good tickets to plays that is sometimes at DPAC or at the Duke Energy Center in Raleigh. We all met there. I really enjoyed the play it had a Latin culture to it and it was very very up-tempo and upbeat. There was no sleeping for me during the play. Thats my kind of play, In the Heights is the name of it. If you get a chance do check that one out.

The shows are always great, but they dont open up areas for more bathroom use, drink and snack prices are high, they let too many people in late after shows have started (because of long lines maybe), they kick you out as soon as the show is over.The stages are good sizes. There really arent any bad seats in any of them. Parking is very convenient. The building is kept clean and maintained and is well lit. Ive never felt unsafe.We have always enjoyed the gentleman street performer playing the sax in front of the fountain.

You have to angle yourself if you have the seats on the sides. There are no big screens with the show playing for you to have a better view, so pick your seats wisely.

Wonderful place... i was worried about getting a bad seat... the place is relatively small, every seat was fine... the tapered lay out gives everyone a great view.

This place is very elegant. Theres an elevator. The inside is beautiful and the outside has a nice Roman aesthetic. The staff are friendly. So many art programs are held here.

Very nice theater. Seats were comfortable and it was very clean. I look forward to coming back.

Parking was right across the street. Paid $7. There was a golf cart that took you from the parking lot to the front door of the venue. The staff of the venue were extremely nice and helpful. The bathrooms were clean the carpets were clean. The temperature was slightly warm, however, there were hundreds of people in there. The seats more comfortable however not a lot of legroom.

We attended the annual Christmas Tree Lighting 2018 on Friday night. We just moved here from Arkansas and decided to come down and check this out and we were so glad we did!!! The tree is absolutely stunning and beautiful!!!

Staff was professional and courteous. They were under a lot of pressure to serve extremely large groups this day. They did a great job!!

Its a great place in general for performances. But allowed the protesters a good meeting area.

Pretty nice theatre with polite staff. it has a good location with multiple great restaurants around so you can’t really make an evening of a showing. it is clean and the atmosphere is synonymous with a classical theatre

Recently went to see Kinky Boots there. Awesome performance. Theater is clean, well staffed and the food/drink options were nice. Parking and getting in and out of the theater was a breeze. Highly recommend.

Went to the ballet to see Serenade. It was an awesome experience. It held the children attention longer than I imagined it would. We will definitely be going back again. The usher that worked the top floor went above and beyond. Thank you!

Very nice theater. Seats were comfortable to sit in but to close together. Acquistics were great and the staff very friendly. Bathrooms were well maintained. I look forward to going there again.

Nice looking place around Christmas

This is a fantastic place for a on the big stage performance. Be aware parking is very expensive in the adjacent deck $15. for three hours. If you arrive early you may get parking for $5. good luck!

Great venue for the show we went to see, which was the Time McGraw and John Mecham show. Not a bad seat in the center. Will definitely attend events here again.

Very clean and open. Huge womens restroom upstairs after you enter and smaller ones closer to the seating area by the stage. Seats are comfortable with cup holders conveniently located in front of the seat.

We had an amazing time watching A Snow White Christmas! Beautiful theater and wonderful show.

Quick pass outside. Was hoping to visit inside but it was closed. Loved the music playing outside even though no one was there. Classy place

It doesnt matter where do you seat. You can see the show. The acoustic its awesome and the venue its beautiful. Ive been there many times and it has been always great. We really enjoy the last concert (Air Supply). We I also proposed to my beautiful (now) fiance. Again, I will recommend this venue to everyone who likes great shows.

Seats are comfortable and visibility is good inall sections.Excellent venue and performances. I have seen at least 8 shows at this performing Arts center and have never been disappointed.

Saw The Nutcracker this evening, 6pm showing. Really enjoyed the show. Very impressed with the performance, especially the 6-yrs young ballerina. I am still in awe resulting from the performance. Please treat yourself and support the youths hard work.

Absolutely beautiful Performing Arts Center! So nice to have something like this in downtown Raleigh perfect for many occasions! The Nutcracker is simply magical and this center is the best place to host them!

I come here almost every year to watch the nutcracker. They also host a lot of other great ballets and shows. Paid parking across the street is your best bet.

Another fantastic performance of the nutcracker! Carolina ballet always does an amazing job and we love taking the kids along!

Show was wonderful! However, our seats were not good. Our view was partially obscured by the stairway glass panel and railing. The view being partially obscured was not disclosed at time of purchase. We knew we were side-facing from the stage. We did not know the railing is raised with a large piece of plexiglass at the end of each side-aisle stairs. We definitely have stiff necks after struggling to see and will not purchase the side-facing seats again.

The taco show was great at Duke I love the blues Tucker Roy C pokey everybody was great How will go there to see another shell thank you Duke

Staff is nice. Easy to find seating and layout is good. I parked at hotel, but my friends found their parking deck to be convenient and fairly priced.

Easy to get to. Parking garage just down the road. Trouble walking- there is a six seater golf cart with driver that will take you to Center. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice bar & coffee tea area / merch shop in lobby. Comfortable seats with good leg room.

Chevy was funny. The Duke center was beautiful but the seats are too close. Still worth see Chevy Chase.

The ballet was amazing. They did Gustav Holst’s The Planets. Such a great performance.

The place was beautiful! Came from out of town to see chevy chase and it was such a memorable time!

We have been here for 3 different performances.Parking is easy.Very nice design.Except for nosebleed seats, there isnt a bad seat in the house.

The Center was extremely well managed with multiple events happening at once. (The play itself was a different story Im not here to review)

The Fletcher Opera House was cleverly decorated for Halloween. Dracula And Red Masque performances were great.

Easy to park and get to the venue. A lot of entrances and exits so youre not bottlenecked trying to get or out. Seating is comfortable and didnt see any seats with obstructed views.

Cozy venue, excellent acoustics. Here to see Home Free with my son. Very pleased with the whole experience.

I saw a good play with my son and his classmates. The staff are very nice and helpful!!

I had a free ticket to an event, I went to the box office because 5 other people expressed that they wanted to go to the event too, and the man helped me get tickets that were in the same location as my first ticket! So my family and i can sit together with no worries. The man in the box office was friendly and made what I thought could be a challenging situation extremely easy for me

I love classical music! So I was very happy to listen to their orchestra. I was chaperoning another 4th grade field trip. My son seemed to enjoy it as well. Their restrooms are very nice and clean. They even have a maintenance person keeping on top of it. She was wiping down the counter before and after I washed my hands. The whole building is beautiful.

Very nice place. I went to see a concert. The acoustics was decent and the seating allowed for a good view of the stage.

Great show kinky boots. Not a bad seat in the house

Great place. I attended a concert here with my daughter

Attended the HSOT Honors and it was a great event.

Cancelled my performance last minute with no explanation and still have yet to see a refund...called for the past 3 days nonstop and still have yet to speak with somebody in the box office...do you all just ignore all your phone calls? and then purposefully put no contact info on your website so people arent able to get their questions answered?? super professional of you guys! 5 stars!!!

Easy to see right off East South Street servicing Raleigh and the adjoining areas of North Carolina. Clean facilities with a wheelchair accessible entrance. Plenty of parking. Public Restrooms. Nice staff. Great for Lectures, Concerts, Dance Performances, etc. We will definitely be going back.

Went to see the Nutcracker. The stage and sound were great. I lost my wifes wallet and the security guy helped me find it. Very friendly staff.

Great place to see a show. Parking is easy and the auditorium is modern & comfortable.

A stately concert venue thats old by Raleigh standards. While the inside decor is fraying a bit of the edges, the acoustics and seating pattern leaves little to be desired.

Very nice venue. Seats were comfortable, staff was wonderful. Im looking forward to the next time.e I go.

Great venue for different events with able parking around and plenty of dining options within walking distance.

A most enjoyable night. The NC Symphony played great. The acoustics in the hall is good. The seating is comfortable. Downtown Raleigh has come a long way it was quite the happening/lively scene on a Saturday night.

Great performance tonight! I always enjoy going to Holiday Pops.

Beautiful on the inside. The concert we went to see was so good. Loved the atmosphere.

Helloooo people my 13year old grandson had his first major stage play this evening and let me tell you guys he was GREAT and i am not saying that because he is my grandson really. I think all the kids were wonderful they did the best performance you would not have thought these were kids let me tell you there will be some on there way.(Great Job) next big actor

My girlfriend and I saw “The King and I” here and the experience was wonderful from start to finish.I know the production brought in their own PA system, but the room sounded great. We were near the front, so the view was great.I would highly recommend seeing shows here!

We have been Broadway Season ticket holders for 3 years now. Great parking. Staff are easy to work with and address any issues. I have asked for easier access seating when the play was held in smaller theatre that required serious step climbing. They were quick to accommodate. Also, worked with us when I was unable to attend on the night of performance due to illness. I recommend the series, location and support of NC THEATRE at Raleigh Memorial Auditorium.

Love this place. Saw a concert tonight and it was amazing!!!!

Great performance by the symphony tonight coupled with a private party with horherves and drinks made for an entertaining evening.

Great show , small chairs though expect to get cozy with some stangers.

Great place. Very professional and organized staff, clean facilities, and comfortable seats

Great place with great programs all season long.

Great experience! Not a bad seat in the building.

It was so big inside! It was such a wonderful concert.

Not a bad seat in the house. Acoustics outstanding.

Beautiful venue in downtown Raleigh... Have enjoyed many stellar performances here... Staff are top notch

The Nutcracker ballet was first class, and the staff at the facility were professional and courteous.

Beautiful, ornate concert hall with lots of seating and very good acoustics. I saw the NC Symphony perform Beethovens Ninth Symphony, and my experience was spectacular.

Nice comfortable seats. Refreshments are a little pricey.

First time coming here. It was for a Broadway night performed by the North Carolina Symphony. They performed a lot of pieces from “The Phantom of The Opera” and absolutely nailed “Music of the Night”! The acoustics were amazing, and The 2 hours flew by like it was 30 minutes. It made for an incredible date night, And I’d definitely come back for another performance!

Took my toddler to see Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and it was a FANTASTIC show!!!

Great venue, nice small bars, polite staff, not a bad seat in the room

I don’t know why they bother selling “seats” when no one uses them!!!! I got the best seats available at the time (they day they went on sale!!!), paid over $200.00, drove almost 2 hours, and saw nothing! I love Gary Allan! I’ve seen him in Laughlin, and California! He was awesome as usual! But my entire view was people standing in front of me!! I could stand up but I’m only 5’2 so it didn’t matter. Much as I love Gary, I should have gone to SEE Tyler Farr at the Tarheel in Jville. The bright spot was, the T-shirt guy slipped me a guitar pick for my 15yr old son who is teaching himself guitar!! Thank you!!! It made his night!! You rock!

This is my Uncle A.J. Fletchers place and its a beautiful building - first class theaters.

I really enjoyed the staff who were very polite. My only critique, it will be nice to post signs of direction on the front doors of those that have their tickets & those buying. No need for everyone asking each other where is the line & so forth. It would be great if someone would take a moment to step outside to assure their viewers of 1st time show goers.

Public parking right across the street. Volunteers/staff were super friendly and helpful. Not a bad seat in the house. My only thing is in the mezzanine there is no railing to hold on to going up or down the stairs in the theater itself. Would love to see RENT there again.

Good venue. Helpful staff

Great place to hold the IBMA awards ceremony. Good views from my seat. Staff was professional.

Convient well designed and front row

Went to see Louis CK. He wants a no phone zone for his show so this place requires EVERYONE to put their phone into a koozie like protective holder (Yondr) and it locks at the top with something that resembles an ink anti theft attachment on stuff in a retail store. On top of that, every single person is individually wanded, front AND back as they enter. I didnt hold up the line to count but I believe there were only 2 or 3 people wanding and 3 or 4 people putting phones in cases. What does this equal? The show starting more than an hour late. You would think you would have more people doing these jobs for 2,000 people coming to a show. Ridiculous line. It is a beautiful facility though. Just poor planning.

The Experience Hendrix Tour was amazing! My view was unbeatable!

They have a gender neutral restroom, which I appreciate.

Staff was super friendly! Security was tough on the ones that tried to get out of control as they should be! First time experience at the Duke Energy Center and was a great one! Experience Hendrix was awesome and the sound was great!

Comfortable seating. Excellent acustics.

So worth the price! Helpful ushers. Wonderful performance!

Great venue, I love the seating arrangements. Nothing is too far away from the stage

Great performance of West Side Story. Wonderful theatre

Great musical and comfortable good seat to view the stage

I love this place. The performances are excellent and the prices cant be beat. I love live theater and this is one of the better ones!!!

Came for backlotproject event. Well organized. Scanned in quickly. The refreshments what you expect to pay at an event. The soft pretzels were good. First time at venue. Decent seat sizes but leg room probably a challenge for tall people. Good acoustics but this was a movie and qa. Not sure for music performance.

Very nice building. Good acoustics for symphonies.

Beautiful venue! A real gem.

Very nice venue. My wife and I love coming here for the ballet. Not a modern venue but so nice.

Awesome place, very clean

Amazing concerts in this facility. Clean and great for events.

We had an awesome time there and watching Sinbad perform! The Art Center is a beautiful place as well. Just need more seats in the waiting area.

BeautfulHad not been there since it was remodeled.

Been coming here 30 years and its still my favorite venue. Great seating, good acoustics, beautiful furnishings, spacious bathrooms, well organized, plenty of parking close by. I am more likely to come here for a performance than almost anywhere else.
