Best Opera Company Fort Wayne Near Me

joe sprankles: Great place.

Bj Horner: Beautiful, affordable and comfortable. Inexpensive parking nearby. Friendly staff.Only downside, I did not find out there is no elevator until after I purchased tickets, I bought the tickets to take my elderly father. The stairs were a challenge for him but he made it!

Bruce Lehman: A real gem in our city! It is an elegant example of architecture and beautiful design. Bathrooms are gorgeous especially those in the lower level. A dazzling place for a multitude of shows.

Chad Handshoe: Great place for a concert. Went to see Pink Droyd. Had a blast.

Tim M: Always enjoy going to events here. I am always amazed at the architecture and how well it is maintained. The ceilings are beautifully painted, and there is so much rich history with the Embassy. Access now includes scanning e-tickets on my mobile device via NFC so that helps streamline the entry process.

Michael PRINCE: First time at the Embassy Theatre. Very nicevenue for a show. 😃💚✌️

Stephanie Bassett: Went to see Joe Gatto here and had a lot of fun. They do have a snack n bar area, which is nice. There is a 2 drink max though. One thing they could improve on is making sure they guide you to the correct seats, because it is hard to see the row letters on the ground. This place is so beautiful!! You aren't allowed to take pictures or video inside :(

Hawk: Just watched my first ballet here this weekend. Facility was nice and clean. Seats were pretty comfy. Good leg room

Kelly Masarira: We had a wonderful time seeing a show at the civic center.

Lori Vorhees: We attended "Elf", it was fantastic! Not a bad seat in the entire place. We definetly will be back.

Jenny Anderson: The building was clean and beautiful. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The ballet was a joy to witness. I would highly recommend anyone looking for an amazing show to check out the Arts United Center!

Kelly McArdle Miller: Beautiful performing arts center in Fort Wayne. A wide variety of shows and activities here.There is on street parking and a garage across the street but the (bank) door/elevator entrance closes at 10 pm and then you will have to walk up the ramps to get to your car 🚗

Bipolar Motorsports LLC: Great place plenty of parking excellent host

Robert Strock: I was going through the parking lot the other day and hit this huge pothole which actually blew my tire and bent my rim. I messaged the Art museum stating what had happened and if there's anyway I could be reimbursed for the damages done. They had emailed me back within the hour claiming that they're not responsible for the parking lot or anything that happens in it, but Arts united is. They had given me the name Miriam who happens to be the VP of the campus. So emailed her with no response. So I waited a couple days because it was during the weekend and had emailed her again with no response again and here we are 2 almost 3 weeks later and still no response. With that said beware of this giant nasty pothole, if you happen to hit it you're on your own and the company clearly doesn't care. Be careful in this parking lot.

Muninn Myrkvi: Respect your musicians and end the strike. The musicians ARE the philharmonic. They deserve a bigger cut and to manage their free time as they see fit. Shame on management!

Susan Spaulding: The way the Fort Wayne Philharmonic management is demeaning and trying to shame their employees is disgusting. These are professional musicians who probably started working on their craft in middle school and pursued a college degree in their instrument. They dedicate hours of practice each week to the full orchestra and independently. They have purchased and must upkeep fine instruments.They are asking for a living wage. Give it to them and stop being petty. You are only hurting your own organization by putting that hateful rhetoric out there.The one star rating is for the management - not the musicians or their performances.

Dan Kerr: Shame on you

Joel Bonitz: Refuses to pay musicians a fair wage, and then blames the victim when they go on strike. This organization has no respect for musicians or patrons. Until they begin taking responsibility for their own callousness, the public will suffer. Fire all of them and replace with people who actually care.

Nancy Vinson: Just attended The Nutcracker last Sunday with the philharmonic. The music was outstanding and made the ballet even more enjoyable. Last July 4, I attended the free concert at Prkvw field, AMAZING and moving! The FW Philharmonic orchestra is such an asset to the community and surrounding area! FW needs this wonderful orchestra!

Patrick Nash: Great venue!

Catherine Graham: A treasure in Fort Wayne. I have gone to many concerts for years and have always loved live music. The Fort Wayne philharmonic is a total experience for the mind and soul. You can tell the musicians love what they do and they want their songs to reach their listeners. I am always touched by the live music and just the quality of the talent which is amazing. The Fort Wayne Philharmonic has such talented musicians that are really stars of Fort Wayne.

Jaymie Banti: Great venue, incredible experience, extremely helpful staff, great customer service. I accidentally purchased the wrong tickets, but they were quick to help me get the correct ones. Highly recommended.

John Moore: A top rated orchestra in a beautiful concert hall. A real treasure.

Lon Jones: Great people, great performances! True Fort Wayne treasure.

Pavel Morunov: Just wonderful

Rosa Lynn: The last, little gem of culture in Fort Wayne.

Mike Amorini: Very good venue

Elizabeth Fitzpatrick: We went to the Holiday concert at the Embassy Theatre in December . The music was beautiful and the orchestra was spectacular. It made Christmas very special

Roderic Griffin: The concert featuring the Verdi "Requiem" was a fantastic performance. The orchestra and the chorus were outstanding. The fact that the conductor did not subject the audience to the inane comments that he loves to inflict made the performance even more enjoyable. Good music speaks for itself. A good performance speaks for itself. The conductor should let the music and the performance speak for themselves. His drivel does nothing to enhance the experience. Constantine is an outstanding musician and an excellent conductor, but he is at best a mediocre speaker and a horrible comedian.I do not wish a cold or laryngitis on anybody, but I was relieved when Constantine's condition caused him to spare us his usual drivel.

John Sheehan: It's a potential or past decent facility, but run down both on stage and audience. There is a sterile meeting space in the basementI was at an event when it was raining outside and water was dripping on the stage.If someone with creativity and money could take charge it could rival anything on this communityBut the university that owns it dropped their theatre program several years ago, and I don't expect much will happen.

mandy dale: Beautiful old architecture; is a pleasant place to visit and host.

Becca & Buddy: Nice theatre, but the line for the women's bathroom was long.

Tia Brown: The only thing I wish could be upgraded is the spacing between the rows of seats. Other than that it is a very beautiful & historic building

Kristi Gay: Venue is beautiful (basement rental hall) but vendor load in and out is complicated and not communicated by the rental staff at all. The rental lady was not on site the day of the event and was extremely difficult to reach by phone for very necessary questions to do our jobs properly. Staff on site were very nice but did not know the info needed to take care of us. Also, all lighting controls on the back side of the hall (located in the hallway by the restroom) had plastic covers but did not lock so kids touched the lighting controls all night long and changed the lights constantly. The staff needs to cover the lighting controls with locking covers so this never happens again. Again, the venue is beautiful downstairs in the basement area but the rental manager Deb Bragg did not communicate necessary info to vendors or the bride and groom for this wedding. If you rent the venue, ask EVERYTHING up front and insist that the rental manager is on site the day of your event or no one will know what is going on, where to load in/out, or how the lighting works or how to lock it to prevent changes. Also, staff on site didn't know how to use the wifi and had to wait for Deb to call them back to get that info. Overall, beautiful hall with extremely poor quality management.

Leena Edgar: Beautiful!

Martha Risinger: My daughter's pining ceremony. 😁

George Izso: Saw Les Mizerables put on by 64 students from 27 different schools. Very professionally done. Was impressed.
