It needs maintenance.

It was very hot in the hall, the seats weren't spaced out, and it was difficult to see the stage, but otherwise the sound was very good. The Coliseu is in need of renovation!

Pat Metheny's fabulous concert, the acoustics of the beautiful Coliseu (an old friend), and the fantastic reception and professionalism of those who work there. I arrived in a wheelchair and was received in a way that exceeded expectations! Thank you all so much! I will return, of course!

Great concert place in the heart of Lisbon! Was a bit hot in July, a better ventilation would be appreciated. Yet, charming architecture and atmopshere.

Exceptional acoustic quality! Creates a feeling of sonic proximity to the instruments of the artists on stage. A fantastic space for concerts and musical events.
