    I have heard of the Glimmerglass Opera since I lived in Western NY, but never visited…read more What prompted me to come on a whim were two particular productions, The Pirates of Penzance and Calisto. I have not seen these operas in many years. I am from NYC and used to live a block from the Gibert & Sullivan Society and frequent their presentations. Calisto was last seen by me in another opera house many years ago. Both Glimmerglass productions are excellent in every respect. Vocally, musically, scenery, costumes. I truly enjoyed coming to this beautiful opera house in upstate New York. There is special accessible parking, and they provide cart transport from car to gate before and after the performance.

    Saw Sunday in the Park With George on closing day of the 2025 festival season. The campus is…read moregorgeous! It was a hot day, and we thankfully had some cloud cover to make up for the heat. Parking was an easy relatively short walk away from the main stage. If you need a more accessible option, there is a lot that is closer as well as crew providing rides with several golf carts. Once you are at the main building, the restrooms and other areas of interest are all within sight. If you are not familiar with this venue - take their suggestion to dress for the weather seriously! It's "open air" but not really. There are walls that open up around the venue, but for what I'm assuming would be lighting purposes and maybe sound integrity, are closed during the actual show (at least this particular show I went to). There are not unlimited shady spots, so if you're sensitive to heat, you may want to ensure that you arrive quite early (at least an hour) to get your pick if you are planning to hang out on campus for a bit before the show. I would strongly recommend bringing a water bottle with ice on a hot day. They let you bring in your own, definitely take advantage of that. I was thankful to have plenty of cold water to sip during the show; it can get a little stuffy in the venue with the walls are closed up and it's filled with patrons. Quality of the show was top notch. I believe our tickets were around $80 each, and we had a seat on the far side of the orchestra section. Even being almost as far to the side as one could be, I had no issues seeing what was going on peripherally and there was nothing to block my direct view. This is to say, I think there's probably not a bad seat in the house. The performers were excellent. I'd never seen this particular show, and I'm so glad I can now say that I have. I would have gladly paid double for the value of this experience. Bottom line: Great venue, great experience, will definitely be back. If you're especially heat sensitive - you might struggle a little bit - bring lots of water, consider buying seats closer to the back (at the back of the orchestra I spotted a large industrial fan), and/or bring a fan of some sort.

    Returning to the Hangar Theatre felt like coming home. We got lucky enough to catch a performance…read moreof "Matilda", sponsored by the wonderful Running to Places Theatre Company. The evening turned into a lively night. Watching the young cast navigate those first-night jitters with such grace became a joy. The audience felt their excitement in every note. Walking through those doors brought back a flood of memories--most notably, our best man Andrew's wedding. Rare to find a space that can host both life's biggest milestones and the budding dreams of local actors. The Hangar has built a reputation for excellence. I feel proud to support it.

    Giving four stars for now until I can FINALLY see a show indoors here! I went to see Sweeney Todd…read morein their gorgeous outdoor stage just to the back of the theatre proper. Parking was a breeze which was really nice - the theatre is also conveniently located so you can hop right back on the road and head home after seeing a show if coming from Rochester region. I loved that they served finger lakes wine at the concession stand, and all of the volunteers and staff I encountered were wonderful and helpful. We went on a HOT day, and I wish for the outdoor stage they would have sprung for a covered option. The bulk of the audience were boiling by the time the razors came out, and we still had two hours of murderous fun left to go. The show itself had its great and not so great moments (I am not sure if it was a budgetary thing but the set for this show was...off putting. I don't need to be reminded that they're eating humans in word form on the set - there's a Greek chorus to remind me every other scene! Also, there were pretty severe issues with the mix and sound. Forgetting to turn actors mics back on, inability to hear the orchestra at times, etc.) Overall the cast and team at Hangar absolutely did the best they could given the circumstances all theatres are being forced to operate under right now, and I am SO GLAD to be out watching theatre and making snide comments about sets again! If there's a show you love playing here - go go go! Broadway talent and stardom in FLX!
