The auditorium was designed to change how it responds to different music. A movable canopy above the stage and a reverberation chamber help shape the sound, giving architecture enthusiasts something to consider while listening. The 6,000-pipe organ adds another reason to look closely at the space during a performance.
What to look for
The shoebox-shaped auditorium brings the seating and stage into a clearly defined room.
The canopy above the stage can be adjusted to alter the acoustics.
The organ’s 6,000 pipes were installed for the hall’s tenth birthday.
Useful to know
Use your concert as the anchor for time around Centenary Square and the ICC.
