The Piedmont Grand Opera House — Attraction in Macon

We saw the Nutcracker in this theater last weekend and had a heavenly time. We actually booked tickets in September for a Saturday in December. But I completely forgot to go!! I was devastated. The next morning, I raced up to the box office. The only tickets left were third floor box seats. We were told that they weren’t wonderful seats, but we took them anyway. It’s true, they weren’t great, but my kids loved them. At intermission, we spotted some front row seats which also weren’t great, but were better for our backs. Our kids LOVED the show. We have since been entertained with toddler Nutcracker performances. I appreciated how friendly the box office workers and ushers were. There’s no mistaking how beautiful this theater is. It’s clean and well kept and has been preserved...

I'd highly recommend experiencing a musical, ballet or any cultural event here! My mom has special needs and she uses a scooter to be mobile...so before I decided to purchase tickets, I called to see if we could be accommodated. I explained my situation and a very nice lady stated I'd get a call back with a resolution. Chas Pridgen( Director of Patron Services) is an ANGEL truly. We spoke on the phone and he kept me informed by email. He found us the seats that best suited my mom. Everyone was immensely helpful and kind! We attended the Macon/Mercer University Orchestra for Valentine's day! What a beautiful performance!!! This was not my first time there but I had not been back in years. Now mom wants to go more often. No matter where you sit ...the stage is still visible. Thank you...

The wait to get a cocktail is usually quite long and the window of opportunity to purchase cocktails is short due to brief intermissions. Cups with lids are allowed into the auditorium, however, there are times when they require that you purchase their cups for $15 in order to take your drink in. Currently they are out of cups so it is not required until they restock. The bar service could probably be improved by adding another bar in the corner of the already tight space. Acoustics are good and staff are friendly. The leg space between rows in the orchestra area is small. There is plenty of local...
