Stamford Center for the Arts

"I’ve visited before and it’s a great venue. Staff is great. But I can’t get tickets anymore online. I’ve tried to reset my password countless times. Never receiving an email to reset. I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem, but after using several accounts, I’ve gotten nowhere. After much frustration,I called the box office number. The message is mostly garbled. I’m disappointed with the professionalism displayed by the he overseers of the system. Not happy."

"Great place to watch a show. We sat in the first row, and our young kids had a hard time seeing. The show was great and the staff was as well."

"Lots of Stamford history here many locals do not know about. Mary C. Vuono built the Vuono's Palace Theatre opening on June 2, 1927 at 61 Atlantic St., with 1,580 seats, was originally a "Thomas W. Lamb" designed vaudeville house. It was restored and re-opened in 1983 for live theatre, concerts and art exhibitions. There was another theater The Strand built right next door. Mary C. Vuono's husband was in the construction business in Stamford and immigrated from southern Italy in the early 1900s through Ellis Island to Brooklyn first and then relocated to Stamford. As poor immigrants, they left Potenza, Italy because they were told "The streets were paved with gold in America." First there was vaudeville, then silent movies and of course Mary C Vuono loved the Opera! It is a miracle this venue has withstood the test of time. Stamford History Center has more information if anyone is interested."

"Beautiful theater. Sat in Mezzanine row L. Excellent view of stage. Acoustics were wonderful. If attending the opera, recommend choosing toward the front of the mezzanine if you need to read subtitles. The stage lights get in the way of the screen on top where subtitles are shown."

"Went here to see Steve Martin and Martin Short show. Totally a wonderful time, very clean. Being a big fella was so happy to find larger then expected seat's. Didn't drink so not sure prices. Town around was worth a walk about but was to cold."
