点评:If you are in the Cape Ann area and have the opportunity, I recommend a visit the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, MA.
During my stay in Rockport there wasn’t anyone scheduled to perform at the center that I had a great desire to see, but I wanted the experience of watching someone perform on a stage backed by a floor-to-ceiling window looking out on the ocean.
There were two 8 pm and one 5 pm performance scheduled during my stay, so I bought tickets to the 5 pm performance so I could take advantage of the view in the (July) daylight hours.
However, because the performer wasn’t at the top of my list of people to see, I bought the least expensive tickets and got seats on the left side balcony facing the stage. This was a mistake I would not repeat if I ever return to the Center.
The single aisle was so narrow you could barely cross your legs. But what was worse is that the only way I could see the stage was to lean forward in my seat and rest my arms on the railing, which was very uncomfortable.
The theatre is beautiful and relatively small and intimate. The view is magnificent. Watching a performer with the ocean waves rolling in the background is mesmerizing. But that was somewhat spoiled for me by the uncomfortable seats. I strongly recommend avoiding this seating area.
Intermission was in a room upstairs, which I believe is rented out for events. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase. The bathrooms are also in this area.
Watching a performance here is a unique experience that I highly recommend—just get comfortable seats.

在我逗留在罗克波特期间,没有人安排在我非常希望看到的中心表演,但我想要观看某人在由落地窗俯瞰的舞台上表演的体验海洋。
在我逗留期间安排了两场晚上 8 点和一场下午 5 点的表演,所以我买了下午 5 点表演的门票,这样我就可以在(7 月)白天欣赏美景。
然而,因为表演者不在我要看的人名单的首位,所以我买了最便宜的票,并在面向舞台的左侧包厢找到了座位。如果我回到中心,我不会再犯这个错误。
单一的过道非常狭窄,你几乎不能交叉双腿。但更糟糕的是,我只能在座位上身体前倾,双臂撑在栏杆上,这样才能看到舞台,这很不舒服。
剧院很漂亮,相对较小且私密。景色很壮观。在海浪翻滚的背景下观看表演令人着迷。但这对我来说有点不舒服的座位被宠坏了。我强烈建议避开这个休息区。
中场休息是在楼上的一个房间里,我相信这是为了举办活动而出租的。饮料和小吃可供购买。浴室也在这个区域。
在这里观看表演是一种独特的体验,我强烈推荐——坐上舒适的座位。
