Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS

Had a great evening at Dewan Filharmonik! Friendly and helpful ushers made the experience smooth from the start, and lockers are available for big bags and backpacks. Love that they strictly enforce a no-recording rule, so you can fully enjoy the show without distractions. The orchestral sound quality is simply amazing – clear, rich, and powerful. Vocals could use a bit more tuning in the mix, but overall still an excellent performance. Definitely worth a visit for a classy and memorable night out!

This iconic venue will literally blow you away with its stunningly aesthetic and aurally sound. An absolutely beautiful performance and an unforgettable evening by the Black Swan Rises. The music hall is awe-inspiring with its classical look and architectural design. It also boasts of optimum acoustics.

This was my very first orchestral experience. Frankly speaking, I’m not really an orchestra fan, nor do I know much about it. But the moment I saw they were doing La La Land in Concert, I knew I had to get a ticket. I arrived 30 minutes before the show and saw a long queue because people were lining up to print their tickets. However, for those who didn’t need a physical ticket, they could just take the elevator straight up. While waiting outside the hall, I noticed some merchandise being sold. Once we were allowed in, the ushers guided us to our seats. The hall was beautiful — smaller than I had imagined, but just the right size for everyone to enjoy the music. Before the performance started, the national anthem Negaraku was played so beautifully. The performance itself was remarkable. I never thought watching La La Land in concert could be that good. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’m so glad I bought the ticket — even though some might consider it pricey for an orchestra, I can understand why. Every performer came together to deliver a masterpiece. I guess I’m converted! Let’s hope they bring more movie soundtrack performances next.

An iconic venue in Suria KLCC! There are no bad seats, you get a greay view from any point and the acoustic is fantastic! The architectural design is impressive! The Dress code is usually formal and people will follow it.

FIRST BEST EXPERIENCE EVERRR!!! Easy to access by public transport and places. For the first time i went, i didnt expect the view very close to the platform. So advice is please take the better seat. Mine is Row B Seat 22 & 23.

Was here last weekend for the Vivaldi’s Four Seasons performance. First time into the hall and the ambiance was very nice and cozy. Enjoy the place and the performance very much.

such a beautiful hall, sound top notch, helptul staff, toilet macam master bedroom, fosho would come again

I paid 800 SAR for two tickets to attend a live orchestra — not to watch a movie! The concept sounded much better in your imagination, but in reality, it was a dull and disappointing experience. I didn’t need to rewatch a film I had already seen at home. I came for the orchestra, for the live music — not for a cinematic replay. Additionally, my whole experience in Kuala Lumpur was disappointing. Most places close by 9 PM, which is shocking for a city that claims to be tourist-friendly. I honestly thought Kuala Lumpur would be a great destination for tourism… what a stupid assumption. This has been the worst travel experience I’ve ever had

Don't we all get that feeling where we want to dress up and go see or listen to something spectacular. Well if you don't, then don't go here, but if you are more like me and a lover of classics - you probably will end up at the dewan filharmonik petronas! Sooner or later (i would suggest sooner) you will experience something out of this world! I think this is the most elegant and classy place that I've seen in Kuala Lumpur. The interior is just breathtaking and just going there you get into this uplifting mood. Most of the big classic concerts in Kuala Lumpur happen here. It is a little pricey, but nothing compared to Western European standards. The only thing I was a tad surprised about is that people don't really put effort in their outfits when they go to see a classical show. You will find someone dressed in flipflops and t- shirt, while someone next to them might be dressed in a Tuxedo. Hence, I guess you can't go wrong, but at the same time it is a bit confusing.

The MPO is a very good group of musicians -- and a very international group -- who play a wide range of music.  When the full group is onstage, it's a particularly impressive array of musicians with excellent control of their volume, bringing a dynamicism particularly to pieces with significantly quiet portions contrasting with significantly loud portions.  Credit should also be given to the lively conductors I've seen at the performances I've been to.   The performance hall is beautiful and has wonderful acoustics.  (However, there's also an irritating electrical background hum that stands out in quiet segments of the music on occasion.)  Based on the design, I'm not sure there'd be any particularly bad seats.  The theater is mid-sized and comfortable.  The woods and lighting are wonderfully done -- I've been to several performances and still can't get enough of staring at the ceiling, which I felt evoked the feeling of the inside of a religious building's cupola (or a night sky). The staff throughout the theater are friendly and helpful.  I'd definitely recommend taking in a performance.

Dewan Philharmonik is the home of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, and it is located in KLCC. They have performances from August to June, normally on the weekends, and tickets can be bought online at the MPO website. The orchestra performs a great variety of music, from soundtracks to the best of classical music. This is my favorite thing to do on a saturday night in KL, and I really recommend it for people who like classical music or are just interested in having a different night out. It is a great option for a date, since the price is quite accessible, and it can definetely set the mood for a late dinner afterwords. The concerts usually last one to two hours, normally with a 20 minute interval. It is very important to be punctual, since the people who are late are prevented from entering the hall in the middle of the concert. The dress code is also something to take into consideration. People wearing jeans, flip-flops, shorts and other casual outfits might not be allowed in the hall. Smart casual should do just fine.

My friends from England have great influence in me when it comes to classical music. They are classical fans and one of them is also a music teacher in UCSI. Needless to say much, Philharmonic Orchestra in KLCC is the best place that you can get in Malaysia!!!!! I've been here many times since I was in my secondary school and most importantly, my school is located quite near to KLCC. Back then it was a school trip if we have tickets to watch a performance. They are quite strict with the dresscodes, just like in Royal Albert Hall, a very English thing to me. So please dressed up properly! No flipflops :) What intrigue me the most is that the sound systems are really good here!! Usually if there is a performance, you would expect to be there for at least 2 hours for a nice performance. I was told that if you are a musician and when you have the chance to perform here, you are one of the good musicians in the country!!

If you want to listen to a classic concert I recommend you to go to a show for the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. You can buy the tickets online on the MPO website and the price is quite accessible. The concerts usually last one to two hours. Make sure you are not late, because you won't be able to enter afterwords, even if you have the ticket bought. The experience during a show here it's out of this world, and from time to time it's a pleasure to try something different on a weekend night. P.S. The dress code is smart casual

My first philharmonic orchestra experience. Being to this local philharmonic orchestra has been something that I would like to accomplish since more than ten years back but I didn't do until February this year when I brought another friend of mine to enjoy the performance together with me. The hall was majestic, the performance was good and the conductor was really passionate in leading the orchestra. The seat that you pay for is worth the price. If you are looking forward to buy a ticket and watch a performance, simply select the seat according to the price range of your preference.
