What's wrong with that, adma? It's neoclassical that looks like it was done exceptionally well without cutting corners or using cheap materials. Do you have something against it because it opened in 2006?
I also agree. My problem is with poor quality pomo (lo-po) or zany mismashes or pieces of architectural puke. I have only seen pictures (having no desire to go to Nashville), but the Schermerhorn looks like it was done well. I will agree that it is a bit comical that such a building was opened only two years ago, but I won't hate it, if only to be consistent (as how I like One St. Thomas).
Edit: Not to pick a fight, Urban Shocker (but subconsciously do I want to?), perhaps it is the quality of the performances that draw people in to sell out? Saying that the "beautiful" architecuture results in bums in seats is a bit simplistic, no?
Though the acoustics are amazing. To concede a point, better that the money was spent on the hall than the architecture, though there are some aspects (Queen Street in particular) that could have been better.
