I daydream about beautiful spaces. I am fascinated by architecture, how the use of light and structure can really enhance space and peoples interaction with space. The Green Room in the War Memorial Performing Arts Center is one of those rooms that become ingrained in your imagination evermore. I loved it completely from the green walls, high ceilings, multiple grand chandeliers, and crown molding. It felt like something straight out of a dream or perhaps a black and white film where red lipstick, gloves, and cigar smoke are entirely appropriate. I cannot wait to host an event here! (Wait can I host your event here?)

Bonito teatro. Disfruté el cascanueces en una buena presentación. Las zonas anteriores al auditorio son muy comerciales y algo intensas con presión para que usted compre bonos o recuerdos.

No need to go to Europe to witness a spectacular building with fantastic architecture and decor. Opened in 1932 and since then the city of SF has never been the same. Words cant describe how ornate, elaborate and original this place is. Great opera and ballet plays, if in SF you should definitely check it out. A classic treasure to admire in SF.. I mean it.

A Beaux Arts beauty. Gorgeous sound in such a massive chamber, I have seen Rigoletto and Don Giovanni from Orchestra premium and couldnt imagine a more perfect experience. Bathrooms are a a bit of a trek, but they were a late addition anyways.

good place to listen to classical music. San Francisco Performances hold a lot of the seasons performances at the Herbst Theater. coffee shop in the lobby during the day ... some times a pop up wine bar before performance.

Have attended many wonderful events there through the years, a repository of incomparable memories, most recently the Holiday luncheon for the War Memorial Board of Trustees in the Green Room.

Recently restored Beaux Arts building - part of the War Memorial Arts Center, this building was built for the Veterans, but has multiple art installations and Herbst Theater.

Saw the Nutcracker here, it was wonderful. Ease of entry and exit, easy for our Lyft driver to find, not really a bad seat in the house. A memory I will not soon forget.

When I first moved here, the SFMoMA collection was housed here. Great classic architecture, and they also have an auditorium that hosts cultural events too.

Always a great place for performances. Had dinner in the Green Room for the first time and the food catered for a group of about 100 was delicious!

Grand and beautiful, no doubt about. Unfortunately they always seem to crank up the heater no matter what the temperature is outside.

Beautiful old fashioned theater. There is very little leg room, but the sound is amazing and the supertitles were marvelous.

SF "Golden Age" public building. Not as ornate as "Belle Epoque" Paris Opera, but a beautiful, airy building.
