Hilbert Circle Theatre

There really isn’t a bad seat in the house! The venue feels intimate. I prefer sitting in an upper level as I can see the entire stage.

Came here for Beethoven's 7th symphony and it was an awesome experience. The symphony was professional and I could not detect any mistakes. The maestro Jun Märkl conducted the symphony by heart and did not use any sheets. Beautiful theater with amazing acoustics. The screen was not full stage width and could be larger, they have Star Wars a new hope in February and I would be more interested if the screen is double or triple the current size. The lounge feels very cozy but could use more seating and felt cramped. Long line for restrooms at intermission with only ~4 urinals and ~3 stalls so try to get there early and use it before and after the concert if possible. Water and soda for $5. Alcohol for $12. The parking structure attached has event parking for $10 + $0.75 fee on Spothero. Try to arrive early to park on lower levels, we were on level 5 and we had to wait 20 minutes before the traffic moved at all. They have monthly free chats then an ISO performance. Tickets at Indianapolissymphony.org. They also have a 3 for $99 package. This is a great place to gain some culture and cleanse the soul.

This evening was an incredible experience. First, the staff is exceptional, every face had a smile, and they treated guests with respect. Second, the theater is beautiful! Third, do not pass up the opportunity to see the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra play the score of your favorite movie!

It has been a number of years since we have been to Hilbert Circle Theatre. We are so excited to be here for the Yuletide Celebration with Sandi Patty. This is one of the best Christmas experiences anywhere.

The Hilbert is a true gem. An incredible, well-preserved 1916 theatre that retains its charm while accommodating a wide variety of shows and programs. Well worth a visit.

Ushers are knowledgeable and very helpful. Programs are exceptional. Theater works hard to make parking reasonable for downtown valet and garage parking. While exit from the garage is slow even with traffic control.

I love coming to the symphony! I’d recommend checking it out at least once for a show. I’ve been to a few shows, and even a wedding! My latest trip was for the film series that’s been running a few times a year. This show was for the Harry Potter and the deathly hollows part one. I loved it! This was my first time seeing a show like this. The movie plays on a large screen on the stage and the ISO plays musical scores during parts of the movie and softer music to "narrate" I love it and wish I could see all movies this way. The theater is historical, but well maintained very beautiful to look at. A fun perk is that they have a bar that you can get some local beers or domestic, plus wine, and mixed drinks. Popcorn was an option which was a nice Addition to the film theme.
