The Knight Theater anchors the corner of Charlotte's arts block, the Levine Center stretch of South Tryon where the Mint Museum, the Bechtler, and the Gantt Center share a campus with this 1,192 seat hall. It opened in 2009, Blumenthal runs it, and Charlotte Ballet calls it home, which tells you the room's character, polished, modern, and built so every seat hears clearly.
Between dance runs, the calendar fills with exactly the kind of show that suits a hall this size, touring songwriters, jazz and classical artists, comedians, and speakers. Three levels, an orchestra, a grand tier, and a mezzanine, keep it intimate, nothing in the room feels far from the stage.
Make the evening of it. You are in the middle of Uptown's museum district, with the Levine Center plaza outside the door, restaurants in every direction, and the rail a short walk away. It is the easy sophisticated night, dinner on Tryon, a show at the Knight, and a walk through the lit up arts block after.
