Symphony Hall - Phoenix Hotels .com

Next time you are in Phoenix, visit the home of the Phoenix Symphony, Arizona Opera and Ballet Arizona, and get arrested by a powerful musical performance both sensually and intellectually. The government-run Symphony Hall is a model of modern concert hall design with its superb acoustics. It presents prestigious local and international orchestras and complementing the classical program is the Best of Broadway, dance productions, local stage productions and performances by popular entertainers.

Since its opening in 1972, the Symphony Hall has served as an icon in the field of culture and performance art. Kitted with an extensive $18.5 million renovation and expansion, it now features a modern 60-by-100-foot stage, 2,312 chairs, great acoustics, more escalators, glamorous interiors and a wheel chair seating section. The peacock fountain in front gives away a mist of water to the passerby.

Before the show stroll through the Hall's art collection. These pieces of art are donations and gifts from residents of Phoenix. Not to be missed are the Venetian Light Sculptures. These are hand-blown glass chandeliers designed by a Californian artist. Symphony Hall plays an important role in the life of Phoenicians and it is regularly used for community events, graduation ceremonies and conferences.
