Discover the Best Seats at Halifax’s Premier Concert Venue

The Rebecca Cohn Auditorium, located in Halifax’s Dalhousie Arts Centre, is a beloved venue for concerts, lectures, and performances. Known for its intimate atmosphere and superb acoustics, this 1,000-seat hall offers a range of seating options to suit every preference. Below is a detailed breakdown of the seating chart, views, and tips for choosing the perfect spot.

Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra Section (Rows A–M): Closest to the stage, offering clear sightlines and immersive sound. Ideal for solo performers and acoustic shows. Avoid extreme side seats for skewed views.
• Balcony (Rows 1–5): Elevated perspective with a full-stage view. Great for symphonies but may feel distant for intimate acts. Front balcony (Row 1) is the best value.
• Side Boxes: Unique, private seating with slightly angled views. Perfect for small groups but may have partial obstructions.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Center orchestra (Rows D–G) for balanced sound and visibility.
• Theater: Front balcony for an unobstructed, full-stage view.
• Lectures: Mid-orchestra for clear sightlines to the podium.

Seat Views & Obstructions

The auditorium’s steep rake ensures good visibility, but side seats may miss extreme stage edges. Balcony overhang slightly affects back orchestra sightlines. Check interactive seat maps before booking.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP: Front-center orchestra includes priority entry. No traditional suites, but box seats offer exclusivity.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in orchestra rear and balcony front, with companion seats.

Tips for Choosing Seats

• Budget-friendly: Side orchestra or rear balcony.
• Premium experience: Center orchestra rows D–H.
• Avoid obstructions: Use virtual view tools or call the box office.
