Artis—Naples,

5833 Pelican Bay Blvd, Naples, FL 34108, United States

"Our first visit to the venue. We thought the Hayes Hall and the museum were wonderful. Love Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue so the double dose for the recent concert was a real treat even though the opening clarinet solo was unfortunately botched for both versions. The pianist and the orchestra were wonderful. But the two Schoenberg pieces were a big miss - the songs were tedious, long and untuneful. It was painful to sit through and we can't imagine why the audience was subjected to two doses of it in one evening. It was obvious that this composer is a favorite of the conductor but not what a "Gershwin" audience was looking for. Most of the fellow patrons sitting in the boxes around us did not applaud for either of the pieces. I kept an open mind for the first one but by the second round, I was ready to leave but the second Gershwin was last in the program and I didn't want to miss it."

"What place charges people for a lap infant? My family and I go to the Artis each year for the Nutcracker- I was with a group of 11 people and I was turned away at the door because I needed to purchase a ticket for my 8 month old baby to sit on my lap. Went to the box office to buy the cheapest ticket possible and I was told it was sold out. But they were magically able to still collect my money to bring my baby inside to breathe the most expensive oxygen there is. Please justify any reason an 8 month old should be charged for a ticket when they are not using a seat or even comprehending where they are. Not even airlines charge for babies. Super disappointing, we will likely be changing venues for our annual family nutcracker night."

"Wonderful venue. Really intimate. All seats are good. The staff was really nice and helpful. Showing you where your seats are. They had two open bars. Beer, wine, High Noon, water and soda. Wonderful acoustics. There is valet parking. There is parking nearby and it's free, is not far if you want to park yourself. Great night!"

"Beautiful concert hall / theater. Not a bad seat in the house. Great place to see a Broadway show, concert, or special event."

"The musical hall is beautiful! We were here to watch the Christmas POPs and it was definitely worth it! The Naples philharmonic are spectacular and we highly recommend that you visit here to listen to their performance!"
