Traveler reviews
Reginald Williams
★★★★★2 years agoIt should be noted that my review is specific to the Blue Hall, a concert hall seating about 950 people. Though we sat in row 17, seats 31 & 32, and the hall was filled to capacity with no seats vacant, we were listening to a baroque ensemble, accompanying an unamplified chorus of 33 voices. We heard extremely well. Indeed, even the volume monitor on my Apple Watch warned of a 90 decibel level reached more than once. It was a huge bonus to discover the ample space between rows, making sitting for a three hour concert very comfortable and enjoyable. The cushioned seats were also great. This, coming from me, at six feet, three inches. People could come and go easily without my needing to stand up. Visibility was also excellent as it was for my wife, as well, at only five feet, five inches.

★★★★★8 years agoI had the honour to join the Drawing Ambience exhibition which was a mesmerizing exhibition at the VAi gallery.
