Ambiance divine, Service impecable. Needed a wheel chair and was taken straight t my seat. When performance was over, wheel chair came to pick me up without having to call. Did not partake of food O
I love coming here, the seats are comfortable and the acoustics are good. It's also a beautiful space. I've been here 4+ times to hear different orchestras. They have a refreshment stand that sells coffee, alcohol, snacks. There are 3-4 parking garages nearby, as well as metered street parking.
The Knight Concert Hall, one of several halls at the Adrienne Arsht Center, is one of my favorite things in Miami. It's located in the heart of Downtown Miami and it's an absolute gem. Miamians should be proud to have it. I remember seeing these structures being built piece by piece over a decade ago with it's oddly shaped exterior structure. I couldn't figure out what they were building at the time. This concert hall seats 2,200 attendees and includes balcony seating on both sides. All seats are comfortable and the view of the stage is clear no matter where you sit. The interior decor is gorgeous with beautiful lighting in an intimate setting. Last month, we had the pleasure of attending an amazing concert by Max Richter at the Knight Concert Hall and somehow we got upgraded to much better seats upon arrival.. lower level instead of upper. Max Richter's music is simply incredible and used in many popular films that we all know. The emotive and sophisticated sounds of his music elevated him to become one of the most talented composers of our time. His concert was awesome and he received endless applause from the audience which prompted him to do an encore performance. Plan ahead for parking at the Knight Concert Hall. They offer valet service at the entrance which is super convenient, but not so when it's time to leave. Reason being is the long wait time to have your car retrieved. You'll have to join a long line with everyone else who also used valet. There are, however, parking lots that are more affordable right across the street starting at $10. Only park there if you're comfortable walking in that area. Pro Tip: This concert hall can be used for weddings, party receptions, and other events.
When The Adrienne Arsht Center was baptized as a Center for the Performing Arts, not many figured that four separate halls had been created, and hence the moniker Center for the Performing Arts. The full name of the concert hall being reviewed is The John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall, paying homage to the founding brothers of the Knight Ridder media company. This concert hall is the third in line regarding siting area, and sits 2,200 people. It has an orchestra level and three additional tiers. No matter where you sit, you have a clear view of the stage, although the last row at the very top will give you a limited size of the performers. This concert hall has a small stage, and therefore is ideal for bands or groups that do not move around stage, have no stage lights and no pyrotechnic show. The reason why I am assessing a four stars to this concert hall is because I did not believe the sound to be state of the art. There is a very large and complicated sound unit, and very powerful, I won't deny that, but I heard some distortion and some delay, plus a couple of hiccups here and there. For a new concert hall, I found this unsatisfying. The general acoustics of the hall are good. Also, some of the restrooms are hidden and only available if you go through a set of stairs that lead to a cul-de-sac. In other words, you can make it in, but you can make it out. The seating is pretty comfortable, the seats are not wide, they are actually snug, but a normal person can sit pleasantly and enjoy the show. Under normal circumstances, you can watch the show fine unless someone with a hat is in front of you, and that is rare although annoying if it ever happened. Needless to say, the ushers keep everything organized. A cool aspect of the art complex is that drinks, wine and beer are offered at all the venues, and the Knight Concert Hall is not different. At the moment, drinks are served by Barton G. There are also concession stands located at different levels, as well as memorabilia booths. Parking is available at the general parking lot, and valet parking is available at the main entrance.
Entertaining, Charming, and Elegant, are the perfect words to describe my experience in here. Yesterday I visited the Knight Concert Hall to enjoy the wonderful performance of the great David Foster. This was the perfect place to host a concert like this one. This center is impeccable and so organized, the people working in here were so nice to me as they directed me to my seat. The security was on point, with people checking you and your bags at the entrance. Police cars and officers were all around, and I felt great about it. They had Valet Parking for $25 and public parking lots starting at $10. Restrooms were also clean. The chairs were comfortable and the sound system was PERFECT. Thank you for a fabulous experience.
Truly my favorite covert hall around. I have been coming to Knight Hall for years for Different events and was lucky enough to have tickets to the show just the other day. It was a special moment as it was the first time taking my daughter there. I had hyped it up pretty good. I told her compared to similar halls we had been to in West palm and Fort Lauderdale, this one blows them away. She was looking forward to the show not just from my assessment though, but because it was for a special show. We went to the harry Potter Prison of Azkaban. That is to say, they played the movie on a huge screen, and a live orchestra played in front along with the movie. I had been to such an event once before at the Knight Concert Hall. It was for Amadeus which was similar and very cool. We got down to the concert hall without much issue. We timed it well to avoid traffic and got a decent priced parking spot. when we got to average seats I got the same feeling I usually do at Knight; the seats seemed FAR better than just average. That's because almost every seat in the place is great. And the beautiful light woods that wrap the interior give it a luminescent quality. As the first song hit I was happy to see my daughter smile. She smiled for the song from the orchestra, for the movie, and for the moment. She agreed afterwards that it was not just a great show, but a great place to see it. I want to go again with her. And the good news is they plan to keep doing shows like this. I know one thing, we will be there.
Great place for a concert! I am a little late posting my review ... I was in here and saw Zubin Metha and the Isreal Philharmonic Symphony on their recent performance last month. I am at the Knight Concert Hall at least a couple of times a year and I am never disappointed. The acoustics are perfect for classical music. The design of the hall is modern and classic at the same time. The staff is always polite, courteous and helpful. Miami is very lucky to have a concert hall like the Knight and the Arscht Center.
This was my first time listening to the New World Symphony in this location! I really enjoyed the seating and the architecture of the building. The atmosphere was also wonderful and staff were helpful in finding my seat. I will say, I sat on the right side and the seats are a bit turned facing the left so I did have to turn my head slightly to the right. This concert hall is easy to commute through the metro mover and is not too far from downtown if you prefer to walk. read more
This renowned concert hall within the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami is known for its acoustics. We prepaid for parking on the Arsht website for $10 in a lot about two blocks away. It was raining and puddles while walking to the center. I usually sit in orchestra but had tickets in the balcony. It is so difficult to see the performance with being so far back and the people sitting in the seats in front of me were also blocking the view. I was also disappointed in the Flamenco show. I was expecting extravagant costumes and more dancing but it wasn't that. Hopefully I can enjoy another show or concert in this beautiful concert hall in the future. read more
Virtually no bad seat in the house. Came here to see the Strauss Symphony of America for the Salute to Vienna New Year's Concert. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were seated on the Tier 3, Row J. It was a beautiful show. The only aspect that was inconvenient was that the only concession stands open at intermission where on the Ground Floor, which was a bit stressful. Parking was easy, but you do have to get there early ($30 for self-parking). Next time I will purchase the valet parking option for only an extra $5 and that way I won't have to worry about getting there 3 hours ahead of the show. read more

Knight Center Concert Hall was a great host for the special screening of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope accompanied with a live orchestra. The whole film was show on projection screens hanging from the ceiling of the concert hall. The entire music in the film was removed to allow the live orchestra to recreate the scores live. The only downside I noticed was that where my seat was located had the projection screen impairing my view of the orchestra. Also, the seats in the last row center area was directly in front of the projector. So the people sitting there would have their silhouette occasionally appear on the screen. Aside from that, the sound and presentation was great! Hopefully they do more events like this one with other popular films. read more
