Amazing venue
Can you believe it? This place was Jewish temple before WWII.
It is a national cultural center established in 1966. It is housed in a former synagogue built in the Moorish Revival architectural style, but the Great Hall exudes a retro socialist style. A rich cultural program takes place in BKC - concerts, exhibitions, theater performances, promotions, projects, etc
I went for a stand up show last Sunday. No possibility to leave your jacket. And on the way out only one exit, which served as the entrance on the way in, was open while there are another 2 exit ways/doors. So, it took about 15 mins for the crowd of some 400 people to leave the place. Poor organisation.
Friendly staff and nice attractions for people who love culture and theatre
I was there couple of times for a film during SFF in summer cinema. The chairs were clean and all but the space in between the chairs, I couldn't even feel my legs while sitting during the almost 3 hour film and when I was getting up I couldn't see where I was walking
Great location, but no parking. There is a parking close by that you need to pay. Hall is great. It is very acoustic, but the inventory inside is very old, starting from uncomfortable seats to ripped carpet. It screams for restoration. Hopefully country and city will start to invest in culture instead of in politicians pockets.
