The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts — Attraction in Nashville-Davidson

My wife and I went to see Rain: A Tribute to The Beatles at The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, and we invited my sister-in-law and her husband. We learned that this is a relatively new building that opened in September 2021, and it shows. Everything about the place looks new and the facilities are modern. The building is beautiful inside and out. The architecture is pleasing, the materials and workmanship are high quality and upscale, there is great attention to detail, and everything has a spacious and grand feel to it.

The Fisher Center has two very nearby parking garages where parking is free. Unlike visiting many places in Nashville, the parking is ample and it was easy to find a good parking spot. There are also at least two places to eat right across the street, so we were able to park in the parking garage, eat at Athens Family Restaurant, which has great food, then just stroll across the street to the Fisher Center when we were done with dinner and it was time to see our show.

Once inside the theater, we were able to quickly and easily get to our seats, which were clearly marked and were comfortable. We sat in the middle of the orchestra section about 10 rows from the stage and we had a great view of the whole show.

Now we come to the part that can make or break a venue, the acoustics. I've seens dozens of concerts, shows and plays over my adult life, many at some excellent venues, and I can honestly say that this venue has the best acoustics of any venue I've ever been to. Everything was crystal clear, the volume was perfect, and there were no audio glitches of any kind during the performance. At one point in the performance we were even treated to some stereo panning of the sound from the left channel to the right channel and back (which The Beatles had done in the studio version of the song being performed), and it sounded just as effective as if I were sitting squarely in front my home stereo. My sister-in-law's husband, who is a local musician, also commented on how good the acoustics were.

The show itself was fantastic. All four of us dscribed it as magical. That's saying something, because my sister-in-law's husband wasn't really a Beatles fan, but he loved the show the show and said he would definitely come to see it again. He said he also picked up a few things watching the musicians onstage. So, whether you're just a fan of good music or you're a Beatles fan, I highly recommend seeing Rain: A Tribute to The Beatles, especially if it ever comes back to the Fisher Center.

The Fisher Center is now my venue of choice for seeing any concert or show. If you ever have a choice about where to see a show, see it here. A splendid time is...

Please excuse grammatical errors I use voice, recognition and auto correct, and my accent is from Texas so sometimes that spits out some odd stuff lol

OK, this place is phenomenal on so many levels, the only downside of this place is I don’t know how you could spend $180 million and not really think about where all the people are going to park. Maybe there is some hidden parking garage somewhere , the two times that I’ve been here I had to go find a place on the street… Other than that, though it is a spectacular architectural wonder that does not really look like it belongs in Nashville,… So I went there to see Randall Wallace telling his life story, he’s the writer of Braveheart and the Director of films like we were soldiers And secretary… So to me the guys a legend. But seriously, it makes you realize that I think colleges have two dang much money because this place is pristine. I actually I would almost say I don’t even know how they kept it within $180 million budget. Every single detail is solid like how they used to build the buildings back in the day and Washington DC or New York, it is a spectacular place so I would highly highly highly recommended for going to any event that they have just to check out the facility… With one exception, I am a very tall person, 6 foot two, and I’m not a light person either so I set in the box seat and that was one of the most uncomfortable chairs I thought it was gonna cut off all my circulation, so it’s probably OK for a little skinny people, but not for me and then when I stood up, literally the bar that separates me falling off of the balcony was only slightly above my knee,… I don’t know how they could possibly have missed that… That is a very, very dangerous design, flaw, so I get it. It’s not in your view, but yes, that is a extremely dangerous if you have a kid do not sit in the box seats, if you have any issues Yet the spot that it is still a spectacular display of architecture and design...

Beautiful Venue! I even had the perfect seat, which ushers were quite helpful in guiding me. I was close enough to see the beautiful imagery as advertised for the Shen Yun ballet! Apparently there are refreshments & tumblers you may purchase and take to your seat. There were a few patrons around me eating chips and drinking libations or beverages. I wasn't fond of that, but times are changing.

The auditorium was clean & cool. (That is until we were all seated. I felt slightly warm & I had a sweater just in case the AC was increased). The restrooms, which I managed to get to before the show and during intermission, were also clean.

They are equipped with an elevator and aisle seating for disabled persons. Ushers will assist you with your walker or chair if necessary before/after the show and during intermission.

I arrived early enough to find the venue, parking, get my ticket from the box office (which were tables organized with lists of names of ticket holders, and it was efficient), and find my seat.

Parking was a little cumbersome for me at first. There are spaces in front of the building which filled up pretty quickly and some are limited to 2-Hour parking. However, there is a parking garage up the street on the right side of the building. I didn't see any signage, I was blindly searching for a spot. There was an officer acting as a crossing guard (safety first). There were parking attendants in the garage who guided each vehicle to an available space. I can't speak for any other event since this was my first time there, but there was no parking fee for this show.

This was a great experience for me. I got in and out without a hitch. I hope this review is helpful for someone attending an...
