Sanders Theatre, Massachusetts, United States

4.5 (63 reviews) Spent Ranking #20 in Cambridge Theaters

Some of the best acoustics anywhere

This is a wonderful intimate theater at Harvard. The structure is almost entirely wooden, and has a warm resonant sound that is instantly compelling. The theater is small, and every seat is great. No blocked view anywhere. There are many events taking place throughout the year. Chamber music is some of the best anywhere. Choral music is spectacular. Plan your trip around an event. You will rarely hear better.

    Beautiful building, great venue
    My son was in many Harvard singing groups so I have been in Sanders many times. It could not be build today. The wood with which it is constructed would be prohibitive.. The best seats are in Mezz section D. Check locations of pillars for any seats. Balcony seats near the front have partial view. I don't recommend floor seats which are below the stage and difficult to see past any front row performers.

    Beautiful
    The Sanders theater is so amazingly beautiful! It has an enormous amount of priceless stain glass windows. I used to walk by this everyday for many years - this building makes me want to be a better person!
