Citizens Opera House

A historic theater in Boston's Theater District, the Citizens Opera House (formerly Citizens Bank Opera House) is the home venue for Boston Ballet's major productions and a regular stop for touring Broadway shows. Its grand 2,600-capacity auditorium earns consistent praise for stunning architecture and excellent acoustics, with visitors marveling at the old architecture and moldings. However, the seating is a recurring pain point: seats are tiny and impossible to get comfortable, so be prepared for tight quarters. For many, the impressive performances—from Beauty & The Beast to Some Like It Hot—make the cramped legroom a worthwhile trade-off.
