International press comments on the Concert Hall
The Mariinsky Theatre Concert Hall is a natural blend of history and the present day. It possesses marvellous acoustics…
Il Giornale
An acoustic sensation!
Dagens Nyheter
The acoustics ensure a cantilena quality of sound and a clarity of
the woodwind section which does not fade away, rather it dissolves into
a space offering a perfect view from any vantage point (…) magnificent,
full of light and warmth.
Le Figaro
French architect Xavier Fabre has done a wonderful job of combining
the old and the new. The acoustics were created by the renowned
Yasuhisa Toyota, most famous for his concert hall in Los Angeles (…)
Toyota has dealt with the task brilliantly: the balance of sound is
staggering!
The New York Times
The Concert Hall comes to life from the light movement of sound
waves that are reflected from floor to ceiling. It seems that the hall
itself has become an instrument – a Stradivarius violin.
