An amazing place, probably one of the most beloved in my beautiful city!!!! Gorgeous concerts, the atmosphere, the smell of women's perfume and always a full hall of caring people!!!! A visit to the Philharmonic is always a spiritual celebration, whether it is a symphony orchestra or modern hits of the world stage. It's great that Minsk has such a wonderful place where you can relax culturally and listen to wonderful music!!!!
We constantly attend various concert performances here. Nice building, well renovated. The acoustic characteristics are also at a high level. Plus, various themed evenings and events are held, for example, an annual New Year's tree and so on. It is very convenient to get there right at the exit of the Yakub Kolos Square metro station.
I'm not talking about music right now. There are no complaints about the performance of the music. The sound and visibility are good. Spacious hall, comfortable buffet, clean toilet. but! The chairs are very uncomfortable! They are installed tightly, the back is low, a tiny wooden armrest is one for two... I strongly do not recommend taking a ticket to the central part of the balcony. It's so crowded there, as if these are places for pioneers, and by no means for pensioners, of whom there are more in the philharmonic hall. Narrow and very high steps on the balcony between the rows. The rows are separated by partitions against which the knees rest. It is impossible to move your legs, there is nowhere to chew them if you are more than one and a half meters tall. There's nowhere to put my hands either, I've already written about the tiny handrail. People's shoulders touch each other. It is impossible to take a comfortable position in such an armchair. The beautiful concert was hopelessly ruined. The people in the neighborhood were also clearly struggling to get comfortable. By the end of the concert, I practically did not feel my legs, only a terrible pain in my knees. The photo shows a partition right next to the seats.
