Can never get a bad seat. Ballets are wonderful. Enjoy the annual nutcracker and classical repertoire. Easy to navigate and enjoy your time.

We had a GREAT time here watching the Nutcracker! Our granddaughter was absolutely thrilled with the show and her seat and performers and costumes! Our seats were perfect and our experience couldn’t have been better. In fact, the last play we saw on Broadway in NYC didn’t compare to the casting, costumes, and venue that we experienced this week here!

This is a stunning venue for the Seattle Opera. The building itself is a spectacularly engineered structure bedecked with modern art. The sky bridge to the nearby parking garage is convenient, and the Halls location in the Seattle Center means there is plenty to do while waiting for the performance to begin.

Saw Ludovico Einaudi here. Its a nice, comfortable venue. Its a bit bourgeois with the snacks and wine/beer. Theres cheese plates and even coffee as well. The seating can be a little cramped in the orchestra sections, but its not terribly bad. Only when people need to get in or out it can be annoying (its amazing how many people dont show up on time). Classical music sounds very good here, so this place is obviously a good choice for a pianist. Also, its very easy to get here, just straight off the exit from i-5 and theres a parking garage right next door.Price - depends (5)Comfort - 4Accessibility - 4Amenities - 4

A really nice venue these pictures are from Orchestra 1 Isle F Row AA Seat 6. Not a bad seat in the house.

The seating is kind of tight, the free parking with membership seems like a long walk if it is raining and you are wearing heels. Overall, I think they have a nice setup, the staff was helpful and it was enjoyable. I look forward to the next opera.

First Tier Box F - Row A - Seat 1This was a wonderful experience for my family. These seats in particular were excellent and offered a great view of everything on stage, including a birds eye view of the orchestra. We will be going back again!!

This venue is the perfect size for a concert or performance. The top seats are not so far away that you cannot see the stage. The building itself is beautiful and the amenities are good. The staff was incredibly helpful and professional.

Enjoyed the show HATED the old lady sitting behind me eating food during the ballet with her mouth open. The performance was beautiful and loved seeing very talented dancers.

Season subcribers to the Seattle Opera! We love the place, the performances and the staff so much we drive over from Spokane every season to attend. One of the countrys best opera companies and one of those surprising gems you love to discover about Seattle. The Fine Arts are thriving here!

I have seen two operas here and both were executed wonderfully. This last time I went to the matinee and the one thing I can say is please have other snacks besides candy and chocolate. Other than that, great space.

PNW ballet is marvelous! I have never watched ballet before but you have shown me the nice part of this world

The Nutcracker performance was amazing, this is my first time here and I will definitely be coming back. However I will not eat here again as the food was extremely overpriced for the quality. Our server was very inattentive we had to flag her down on multiple occasions and I even had to get her attention for a different table. The dessert that you see here was pretty good but the chocolate roll with mint was very dry, but the rest were delicious. I cannot say the same for the dinner.

We love this venue for plays and ballets. Theyre so good to me and my kids, one of whom is autistic and has had to move because he was triggered by the behavior of a child in the row behind us. I cant say enough...

Every seat seems to have a great view point. We sat in the balcony and it is well worth the extra $

Saw the PNB dance the Nutcracker this past December. Its a very nice venue. The ballet was wonderful especially because my granddaughter danced in it. The theatre was comfortable and the amenities very nice. Recommend an evening here when you have the opportunity.

The show (ballet) was OK but the food was incredible! I dont know the name of the place, but I would go back again just for the veggies and hummus plate I was served (intermission diner on same floor as performance). I paid before the show and sure enough, my plates and name tag were sitting out and ready for us, very positive experience.

I go to the Opera here give times a year as a subscriber, and McCaw Hall is a fantastic location to attend a show. The acoustics are fantastic and there isnt a bad seat in the house. I appreciate the coat check and the lovely foyer as well.

An excellent concert hall with good sight lines and acoustics.

It is just not the holidays without seeing the nutcracker. The Pacific Northwest Ballet is top-notch, and the gracious folks at MaCaw Hall are the best hosts. They have complimentary coat check and awesome holiday decorations you can take pictures with your loved ones in.

We splurged on box seats for the Carmina Burana. Amazing show, amazing vantage point. Nobody sitting in front of us.

Gotta love amazing energy, space, community of people and most importantly, memories with coworkers!

A wonderful venue for seeing great performances. Acoustics are awesome! The ushers were very helpful. We enjoyed seeing Ronan Farrow! And, we were lucky enough to enjoy the VIP setting after the presentation.

Yardbird was great. The hall is run very smoothly. The ushers were very polite. I was alone but I had a fun time by myself. You can dress up or down. I enjoyed the experience. Definitely plan to attend another Opera in the future. Something more traditional. Ideally with someone.

I enjoyed the nutcracker there. All the people where nice and helpful. Expect stadium prices on beer and snacks. They give you awesome cups to bring your beverages in.

Watched the Shen Yun show with my daughter here... very nice place! Especially if the suns out, you can truly enjoy the outside. Kids will enjoy the water :)

Great performance, and lovely staff! The place is well kept with many programs/shows through out the year. Parking garage is right next to the building.

Great place. I went here on a school field trip and had an amazing time. Very nice decor, comfortable seating that you can see the stage clearly from, and consessions during intermission. Overall I loved it! Definitely would recommend this place if you are considering seeing something here.

Great concert hall. We had great seats but from looking around I imagine anywhere you sit here you will still have a great view.

Beautiful building, excellent parking suggestions online, incredible experience. Hubby bought double glass of wine in reusable cup at intermission that we could take back to our seat and enjoy.

Outstanding performance of the Nutcracker. Dancers, orchestra and all was great. Wish there had been some food available other than cookies and cupcakes.

We saw David Gray perform here. The acoustics are excellent and the seats comfortable.

Went to see Carmen Opera, not for me but the lady in my life loved it (so millions of brownie points for me lol) first time there & in my opinion very overpriced seats! Food menu choice was good & great little venu if not overpriced!

Gorgeous place. We watched Porgy and Bess. Brilliant.

Love this theater. The food snacks, dont bother. Drinks our overpriced of course. But nice atmosphere and good service.

Went to see the nutcracker ballet. The production was outstanding, everything was going great. Then following the intermission I was continually watched by security. After about 10 minutes into the second act. I became tired of the constant oversight. I gathered my things to leave and was confronted by security as I left. Upon leaving my date in her seat I asked security why he was hovering me and was told someone complained about me. I do not understand this, I was polite and considerate while attending. And no concerns were voiced at me. Following the show we left and were not contacted to verify whoevers concerns nor were able to verbalize our rebuttals to whatever the other patrons concerns were.Bottom line is I could never recommend McCaw hall for any event much less the nutcracker ballet.

My first time at a ballet! It was quite good even though I didnt get much of the art. An absolutely beautiful venue.

Ive been to two productions at McCaw in the last couple months (opera and ballet) Its a nice hall. For excellent ticket value, sit at the front of the 2nd tier. Sometimes 2nd tiers get too vertiginous for me, but this one doesnt give me that dizzy feeling.

The family sure enjoyed The nutcracker suite and appreciated #laskaairlines appreciation tickets to see the show. The show was excellent and the holiday decor, staff at the hall and service was excellent, thank you!

The Nutcracker is always a joy to watch. My son(12) and daughter (7) both loved the show! The facilities are always clean and neat with friends staff!

Marion Oliver McCaw Hall is a fantastic venue for live performances. The foyer is large, open and inviting and includes a restaurant for patrons wanting a meal or drinks before their event.Once inside the hall itself, be prepared for excellent acoustics and viewing angle of the stage from any seat you may find yourself in.

Always a wonderful venue. Even if you have cheap seats you can see pretty well. Wonderful acoustics.

A pleasant place to spend with the family for a show. Its always been a good venue for performances and easily accessible by bus, monorail and plenty of nearby parking.

Great setting for Emerald City Musics season 4 opener. Ballet based classical performance was beautifully captured in Tagney-Jones Hall. It was my 1st time seeing ballet and being in the new Opera Hall. Fantastic acoustics. Cant wait to return!

Sight lines are very good, acoustics are excellent. Seating is comfortable and drinks are available (you can even bring them into the performing area in a covered cup!)

This is a solid venue to hold and/or go to events. The space is beautiful. It’s also located to lots of restaurants and bars which is convenient for pre or post events nibbles.

Nicely laid out theater. Saw Nutcracker here....amazing production.

I have never had a bad experience here. Shows are great, people are helpful, not much else you need :)

Wonderful theater. Ive been here a couple of times. Both the ballet and opera Ive seen here, were amazing productions.Ill be coming back.

What a beautiful facility. It is flawlessly run. I especially like the ability to preorder snacks for intermission, ready and waiting.

Amazing place with friendly workers to assist you. Beautiful place to see an opera or whatever brings you to the location.

Ive been here for the Seattle Mens Chorus () and I watch the modern adaptation to Hansel and Gretel (the opera) as well. I enjoy it (McCaw Hall and the experience) a lot!

Lovely venue for the ballet. Comfortable seats and unique artwork. Proud to have this facility in my home city.

Love this venue! Been there to see the nutcracker and for the Pride Foundation Scholarship ceremony. Seats are cramped and not very comfortable but the acoustics are great

Great space for opera. Seats are comfortable. There is a restaurant there with buffet. The chandelier is enormous.

Been here twice in the last 3 months, Nutcracker and Cinderella. Impressed overall, lobby area gets very crowded during intermissions and trying to get concessions is nearly impossible.The shows, staff and atmosphere ate great though.

The Nutcracker Was Beautiful, just as I had remembered it!!

We go every year to see the Pacific Northwest ballet Nutcracker production. This year my girls are 15 11 + 5. We enjoyed it very much the staff are excellent the venue is beautiful and we look forward to this next year. We had such a good time we bought tickets to Cinderella in February.

Love Balanchines Nutcracker. Always have a great time at PNB!

McCaw hall is a good venue for most any type of live performance. Tonight Im with two daughters, a son-in-law and three grandkids watching Straight No Chaser. The Acapella group is popular with the family members and this show has been a lot of fun. Most seating in McCaw hall is pretty good, but for musical performances I prefer the front rows of the mezzanine or upper balcony.Three stars indicates my expectations have been met during this event at the hall. Disappointing results will cause a loss of stars to two or possibly three. A pleasant surprise will earn added stars. So three stars from me is a good rating.

This is a fantastic performance Hall, home to a world-class opera company which never fails to impress, drawing talent from across the country and world for shows across the entire canon and beyond. Excellent and beautiful modern facility with no bad seats, well run hosts/users/hospitality and strong leadership. Bravo!

Seating is very tight. Hardly any leg room. Otherwise, great venue. Drinks allowed in theater in this special cup; Cup available at the bar. Eat before you come.

Fantastic venue and magical rendition of the Nutcracker. The kids loved it and so did I!

Lots of fun with Nick Jr. Live

This is a wonderful place to see the opera. I like the seating, atmosphere, and layout. There are food, drinks, and gifts for those who want to purchase. Bathrooms are well spaced out and easy to find. There are also convenient water fountains. Plenty of associates dressed to the nines are ready to help you find your seat or answer any questions you may have. This really is a fun place. My favorite opera was The Magic Flute, and I keep my eye out for the latest operas that interest me,

Absolutely love PNB, all productions are great. Nutcracker is always a special holiday treat.

Beautiful facility with ability to handle large audiences. Parking garage across street and other parking facilities nearby.

I wanted to buy tickets for a Sunday show. Went online and they said its too late to buy tickets for the showing online, and that I should call the ticket office to buy them. I called the ticket office and received an automated recording saying the office is only open Monday to Friday. Either let people buy their tickets online during Sunday and Saturday or have your ticket office open. Dont tell people to call to buy tickets if youre not going to have anyone manning the phones to sell them.

Saw the Nutcracker. It was amazing. Highly recommend. Note, the gentlemen ballerinos leg muscles are intimidating. Also, a boy ballerina is a ballerino.

It was amazing and beautiful, first time going. Adult beverages are expensive, a double makers mark was 24 bucks... So, def not cheap, a mouse cooking was 6 bucks, sooo... Super nice, but pricey. Was able to take lots of pictures at alot of different spots. :)

We had a lovely lunch at Preludes before The Nutcracker. The Hall is beautifully modern yet timeless. Loved it.

McCaw Hall, home of Seattle Opera, is an amazing venue.Classic opera is traditionally unamplified, depending on each singers voice to rise over the orchestra and be easily heard in the back row of the house. McCaw Hall delivers the wonderful clean acoustics that make this classic opera possible. Every seat in the house is at least good, many are awesome.Other pleasant aspects of McCaw include a restaurant on the ground floor that serves full meals before performances, and a gift shop with a wide range of opera-related items.Ample parking is available in the Mercer Garage, which is connected by a convenient skybridge.McCaw Hall is also used by PNW Ballet.

Absolutely loved the nutcracker. Seats were so comfortable that I did fall asleep for a little bit of the first half.

I dont know how this ended up as a 1 star review. It is 5. I only recently saw this (Sept 2019), since Google does not make it easy to see your own reviews unless you go into google maps and dig through the menu setting. (They really should be linked in main account, not only on google maps). I see that the owner responded a year ago. I never saw this response before. (If Google sent an email notice, I did not see it). Anyway, McCaw hall is very nice and we always enjoy our visits. (Mostly ballet, but have been to a few other shows).

Incredible Opera House for large events. A great host to international tours emphasising on ballet, dance, film & music.

Nice venue for ballet performances and such. Exiting the faculty was fast and easy.

Absolutely fun and beautiful venue for any event. We went and saw Warren Miller here and had a blast!

I had a fantastic time. I want yo go again

Second tier is very better for any shows because it has very clear view from top,we went to see a show ShenYun unfortunately we dont like it and over priced not worth i dont recommend for anyone

I brought my mom here to see The Nutcracker, which we both enjoyed so much. She is in a wheelchair and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. They offered cushions for little people to be able to see better, which I thought was very sweet. There were two or three places to get a cocktail during the break and the lines went fairly quickly. You can order a snack online ahead of time, so convenient. I didnt take advantage of that but wish I had. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Bathrooms were spacious and clean. As for the theatre, there seats were well positioned so even short people can have a clear view of the stage. Acoustics area good as well. Worth the price of admission.

Awesome theater. Went and saw the nutcracker and was in awe

I will definitely do this again. Hoping to see Alice In Wonderland.....

Lovely evening at the Seattle Opera...the hall is a little cold, so bring a shawl with you!

Be here for a conference. Beautiful venue!

Marvelous acoustics. The best place I know of to hear opera.

We saw the nutcracker suite and it was fabulous. Decorah was beautiful and holiday gorgeous.

Very elegant, but yet i feel comfortable in my jeans here

Great venue. Went to Nutcracker. Very enjoyable.

It was the coldest Opera we have watched.Had to wear coat for the entire Opera.Besides that everything was fine.

Atmosphere was very nice, very clean, upscale. Top-notch performance! Staff was helpful, kind, humorous, and knowledgeable. Experience would have been perfect, except the seats were a bit uncomfortable (low to the ground, tight side to side, limited leg room, and poor older cushioning), making it very difficult to sit through nearly 3 hours of otherwise excellent theater. If you are smaller, like 5-6 and under, and around 150 lbs, it might be OK, but anyone taller, older, bigger might just feel a little cramped/might begin suffering from a bout of sciatica around 1/3rd of the way through the show/might need to call the fire department to extract them from said seating if they manage make it to the end of the show.

The Nutcracker show was amazing! Beautiful hall with original art and a nice big Christmas tree. Our seats were up high and far back in the corner, but we still felt we had a great, unobstructed view that was not too far away from the action!Were looking forward to our next trip here.

We saw the Nutcracker ballet here with the kids. We have been several years in a row and the kids dont get tired of it.

Every performance I saw at McCaw Hall has been a very memorable experience

An awesome venue, incredible auditorium and inviting space with delicious food at the Prelude

Wowed by the great voices at the top of the house. Excellent experience.

I made reservations way in advance, came in a few minutes late and was seated right away. We hadnt ate all day so I asked for bread right away. The bread was amazing! It had roasted garlic in side and the butter was infused with Rosemary.....amazing!We both ordered the seared tuna, which was also simply splendid. The service was perfect, we will most definitely come here again.

Nice, open. Friendly ushers. Clean. Was really fun

Nice venue that was easy to access. Saw a show called Locally Sourced. -1 star for a bad experience with a use bartender.

Lovely Hall. We had seats in the highest tier and we could still see everything!
