How it worksHonest scores
Production and performance are scored apart, small samples are shown as provisional, and the press grade never enters the audience score.
Why it mattersMultilingual
Every page in English and German. Machine translations are flagged and the original is one tap away.

How we scoreTwo signals, never one number
The audience score is the one you rate: production and performance, each on its own. The press score is a separate editorial grade. They sit side by side and are never averaged.
AboutRate the night. Not just the production.
Curtain Critics is the review and discovery platform for live stage performance: opera, musical, theatre, dance and concert.
Every rating belongs to the specific night someone attended. Casts change, conductors change, a premiere is not the tenth revival. So we score the performance you saw and the production as a whole, separately, and show you both.
Reviews from people who prove they were there carry the mark. The press has its own grade, cited and never blended in. In English and German, with machine translations flagged.
