We say two different shows on consecutive nights during the 2025 New Mexico Jazz Festival and very much enjoyed the venue. Uniquely designed, attractive, and with good acoustics, this is a fine musical venue. Links like it would be excellent for theater as well. A Santa Fe classic for sure.
MoreFinally had a chance to enjoy this venue after years walking by the building. We saw two performances over one weekend. Comfortable seating and excellent acoustics. The theater is more intimate than other venues. The convenience of a city garage right across the street was a bonus.
MoreThis is a great place to see music. Be careful when you buy your tickets that you are on the official website. I bought tickets on a site that looked like the Lensic site and was charged 2x the actual price.
MoreWe saw Arturo Sandoval. Incredible venue and amazing performance. We walked from our ho-6tel (Inn of the Governors). Seats were comfortable, interior is beautiful! We had very good seats-on the right side about 5 or 6 rows from the stage. Ushers were very nice-friendly.
MoreBought tickets to see Thomas Hampson, America's foremost baritone, only to find that Hampson isn't performing after all. I understand, things happen, but the Lensic refuses to issue a refund. Yes, it's in the fine print. Yes, they legally have the right. And yes, I'll think twice before spending so much money on a Lensic event again.
