Panoramic view of the 2 400-seat hall with its envelopping typology where the farthest viewer is only 32 metres away from the conductor The hall consists of an inner, “floating” volume nested within a larger outer volume, allowing direct sound, lateral reflections and reverberation to interweave in order to combine excellent clarity and transparency with ample resonance.

The 283-m² stage of the Grande Salle features motorized platforms and can accommodate any orchestral formation. The choir balcony being retractable, a frontal stage can be put in place. The floor seating can be removed in order to enlarge the stage or accomodate standing audience. Foto © Nicolas Borel
The 15-metre high by 20-metre wide organ — manufactured by The Ateliers Rieger — has been conceived for the symphonic repertoire. Foto © Beaucardet
View onto the floating balconies, with their ribbon-like back walls and the suspended cloud-shaped reflectors. All surfaces, from the balcony fronts to the balcony soffits as well as the back walls and the reflectors contribute to the acoustic reflections. Foto © Nicolas Borel
The important quantity of reflecting surfaces contributes to the early lateral reflections, providing intimacy and envelopment to every spectator. Foto © Nicolas Borel
