Concert halls Boston

Founded in 1945, it is the largest independent contemporary music school in the world. Quincy Jones and John Mayer attended it! It is located in the Back Bay area. Most concerts are free and open to the public. It is also possible to attend concerts given by the school's students at the Berklee Performance Center. All concerts are advertised on the website under "Events". They take place in the school's various halls, including the Performance Center, which seats 1,200.

This world-renowned dance company offers both classical and contemporary repertoire. When it was founded in 1963, it became the first dance company in all of New England. It is also home to the largest ballet school in North America. Its repertoire includes classical, neo-classical and contemporary works. In winter, the ballet-féerie Nutcracker is performed here and has been for over 40 years. Please note that performances are held at the Boston Opera House, 539 Washington Street, Downtown.

Jacques, to those close to him, is a Boston night spot, particularly popular with the LGBTQ community and for bachelorette parties. The brick façade doesn't look good, yet this cabaret is quite famous in Boston. It has been presenting transformative shows for many years and is an integral part of the city's gay scene! Inside, the decor is, once again, rather outdated, but with that unmistakable touch of authenticity. For a fun evening full of glitter!

This Boston club with its resolutely rock programming can boast of having welcomed big names from the alternative rock scene, but not only: a concert by the band U2 took place there a few years ago. R.E.M. and Steve Earle also performed there. Since its inception in 1977, the Paradise Rock Club has also seen a large number of local rock bands, who enjoy a small amount of notoriety in the area, perform on its stage. There is dancing and fast food in a lively atmosphere. Shows several nights a week.

When it opened its doors in 1937, this theatre was one of the first in Boston to offer films. At that time, it could seat up to 1,700 people! It closed its doors in 1976 and, unfortunately, its beautiful Art Deco interior was largely destroyed. Today, it hosts international film, theatre, music and dance productions. It underwent major renovations between 2005 and 2010 and can accommodate up to 550 people.

Located across the street from Northeastern University, it is the oldest independent music school in the United States. The NEC Jordan Hall, which can accommodate more than 1,000 spectators, is renowned for the quality of its acoustics. It was built in 1903 and has been a U.S. National Historic Site since 1994. It is very beautiful, with its horseshoe-shaped balconies and Italian-inspired organ. Proof of its importance is that the vast majority of recognized classical musicians have performed there.

Long known as the Metropolitan Theatre, this historic hall dating back to 1925 has had many lives. In the 1960s, it became the home of the Boston Ballet Company and was renamed Music Hall. Bob Marley performed there in 1978 in a recorded concert, which was not broadcast until 2015. Today, the Wang Theatre mainly presents "big" productions, especially those performed on Broadway. People come here to see theatre, but also dance, concerts and opera.
