    Home of the second oldest symphony orchestra in the USA. Wonderful venue, easy to reach from the Chase Park Royal Sonesta Hotel by bus 10. Acoustics are superb, prices match the quality of music, comfortable seats and elegant trappings. Very friendly staff. And I love Beethoven's Emperor Concerto

    Had a lovely evening at the symphony. Came 45 minutes before the show started to take pictures. Ordered moscato from the bar and it was the best $10 I've ever spent. I will say my friend and I parked in the parking garage nearby and it was completely deserted and the parking attendant was BEYOND creepy. He hit on both me and my friend upon arrival and then as we walked to the symphony he stepped out of the ticket booth to catcall again. I would recommend parking in the designated symphony lot.

    My family has gotten to enjoy 2 shows recently and they were both awesome! Staff was super friendly and helpful and we had amazing seats. My daughter tried an over priced brownie that was actually pretty good! The music was beautiful! I hate we've been missing out all of these years!

    If you've never been to a show, go! I love the symphony and they have a plethora of different types of shows including sensory friendly shows! They have a concession stand with food , popcorn, candy, drinks. And it's one of the most beautiful spaces in STL!

    Whether you like traditional music or something a little different, I highly recommend Powell Hall. I had such an amazing experience recently watching Jurassic Park live that I'm going to become a regular! If you ever see a movie event, they remove the music from the movie and play it live, it's absolutely breath taking and such a cool way to see your favorite movie!

    My hubby took me to the symphony on a surprise date and I loved it . It was a tribute to Whitney Houston night and it was quite elegant. I loved it all . The location was great. Parking was right across the street , thank god since it was so cold. It felt like royalty when you walked in. They gave you fans in case you were hot, a booklet of the night events and coat check for your coats. The singer was great and the music was awesome. Those instruments can make music on its own . The ambience was beautiful. Drinks were expensive and not worth the price and no food was offered. But that's not a deal breaker I'll definitely be back

    Another perfect evening at Powell. The performance was incredible. Since we are becoming regulars, purchased some wine sippy cups.

    I have been coming here since I was a little girl and every single time has been amazing. From the velvet chairs to the magnificent chandeliers, it truly is a beauty to take in. Then the shows begins and the true magic starts. We have some amazing musicians in our symphony and in the multitude of shows I have been to, I have never heard them play a wrong note. To complement our phenomenal entertainers, the staff and volunteers ooze with kindness and are always waiting to help you with a big smile on their faces. If you are looking for somewhere to spend a lovely evening or a great cause to donate your money to, look no further because the SLSO is just the place.

    Powell Hall is a beautiful and classic symphony venue that is easy on the eyes and a treat to the ears. From Beethoven's fifth symphony to Disney movies in concert, there's something for everyone here. There are events year round, but my favorite time to visit is during the holidays, when the hall is especially festive and splendid. Tickets are reasonably priced, can be purchased online, over the phone, and in-person. SLSO is a group with many talents, and how lucky we are to have Stéphane join as the new music director this year!

    Powell Hall decorated for Christmas

    I came here last week for a Christmas concert with Oleta Adams and the In Unison Chorus. Powell Hall is probably my favorite performing art space in St. Louis. It is a beautiful building and even more beautiful all decorated for Christmas. The concert was full of magnificent music and put me in the Christmas spirit. I also enjoy coming here when the symphony orchestra plays the score along to movies. So far I've been to Harry Potter and Jurassic Park. I hear that they have recently upgraded their sound system so that the dialogue of the movie sounds better. Cannot wait to be back for another concert soon!

    Beautiful symphony hall, easy street parking within a few blocks! Saw the New Year's Eve celebration and the musicians were incredible. Great performance!

    Orchestra left and right seats...good or not?

    They suffer a little in terms of the views but the accustics in the building are so good that the sound is excellent in the side seats. If there is a soloist performance you may lose a little there.

    Over the summer at one of the free outdoor movies on Art Hill, I won a voucher for a free concert at Powell Hall.

Manchester Avenue seems to carry the energy, a long run of neon and murals and patios. I saw rainbow flags and dive bars and a few spots that seem just a little scruffy around the edges that keep the place from turning into a theme park version of itself. I have been here on foot and by car. By car, the parking was easy enough as long as you're aware of the hydrants and driveways so you don't block either. On food, the blocks are short and the sidewalks are wide enough that you never feel squeezed. The neighborhood feels expressive and welcoming, like it wants you to see the art, feel the music and take in the color. If I was ever looking to move back into a city, I'd be looking at places in this part of Saint Louis. [Review 370 of 2026 - 494 in Missouri - 25556 overall]

There's a lot of murals and artwork lining the streets. It's colorful and my kind of chaos. Some of my favorite bars are here like Platypus and Good Company.
