The venue was great, just a heads up, if you sit in the first row balcony (we did) the railing is very low so don’t sit here if you’re scared of heights. The plus side is the railing doesn’t interrupt your view. The venue was easy in and easy out. Parking was available right across the street for a little too pricey 25.00 dollars. All parking attendants and venue volunteers were very friendly and helpful. The show itself was great and the sound excellent. Very nice evening.

First let me say Avery Amereau was flawless as Carmen, in fact all the opera singers were terrific. The orchestra performed beautifully as well. My disappointment was with the lack of costumes, or set, or even a reasonable attempt at having the projection screens show pictures simulating a set. The worst part was the VERY loose translation on screen turning what should’ve been a classic romantic tragedy into a poor comedy, causing the audience to laugh at inappropriate times because of what they were reading. Very annoying. If a guest was unfamiliar with Carmen, and doesn’t speak French, they were given the Clift note slang version by a stoned millennial passed off as a ‘translation’. A poor re-write of a beautiful classic. It would’ve been better with the actual translation, or no translation at all.

beautiful location. the symphony is sooooo talented. the auditorium is beautiful and comfortable. what a treat!

A read someone asking if the Jax Sympho is good. I have to say that it is VERY good. Every tine we go, we come out in a state of bliss. The performance is great, the conductors are always amazing and the venue is perfect. Courtney Lewis has done a great job in modernizing the sympho and recruiting new listeners.The 60 minute concerts are so easy to go to.I strongly recommend attending any of the concerts

One of the nation's premier symphonies. Delighted that they continue to perform their music live (and streaming) while taking exceptional care to protect concert goers and musicians. We enjoyed Holiday Pops for the first time and were happy to have a chance to forget about life for awhile. Looking forward to listening to them with guest performer Tony DeSare for Valentines Day.
