Take Care

Royce auditorium does have a gorgeous ambiance, but there are a few things to be aware of: zero leg room, must stand up to allow people in or out of the row. No air conditioning, not sure if its this way always or if it was broken- 83 in gr today and inside the hall was even warmer. Seats Left q 1 and r 1 are directly behind a support pole with limited view of the stage. On the plus side, ushers will move guests seated there if possible. From further back the actors/singers words were very difficult to understand and the orchestra overpowered them. I would consider revisiting for symphony, but definitely not for opera.

I need to get this warning out there. I am a bigger guy, no doubt. 67" 440lbs. I went here and I think even if I had been as thin as a rail my legs would not have fit in any row but the front. The place looks great and Im sure it sounds amazing, but be warned if you are larger and are looking to go here. Edit after response from owner: The ushers attempted to help me by putting me in what looked to be a single, very old, handicap chair to the side that I was worried I may break if I sat in it for too long, and that also didnt help my wife who had the same issues as me.
