Hosting jazz, classical, and contemporary performances, this 400-seat hall offers a unique blend of elegance and accessibility. Below is a detailed guide to help you choose the perfect seats for your next event.

Seating Chart Overview

Orchestra (Front Sections): Closest to the stage, offering unparalleled views and sound quality. Ideal for solo performances, though slightly elevated seats (Rows 4-6) provide better sightlines over heads.

Balcony (Rear Sections): Elevated for a panoramic view, but some rear seats may have slight obstructions from railings. Best for budget-conscious fans who still want great acoustics.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Center Orchestra (Rows 3-8) for balanced sound and visibility.
• Theater: Front Balcony (Rows 1-3) for an unobstructed, full-stage view.
• VIP Experience: Premium Orchestra seats include lounge access and priority entry.

Seat View Tips

• Avoid extreme side seats (Sections A/D) for dance performances due to angled views.
• Balcony overhangs may slightly limit visibility for tall attendees in rear Orchestra.

Accessibility & Luxury Options

The venue offers wheelchair-accessible seating in both Orchestra and Balcony, with companion seats. Luxury suites (limited availability) provide private space and premium amenities.

Pro Tips

• For acoustics: Mid-Orchestra (Rows 5-10).
• For intimacy: Front-row side seats (closer to performers).
