A perfect venue for both large symphonic concerts and theatre productions
The theatre auditorium at Theater de Spiegel was designed as an intimate space seating 850, with good, clear speech acoustics. However, raising the acoustic ceiling exposes a large area above the auditorium, which makes it suitable for opera and symphonic music.
The shape of the auditorium can also be adjusted by turning the boxes left and right. When set for theatre the boxes are turned in to emphasise the horseshoe shape of the auditorium. For symphonic concerts the boxes are straightened out to be streamlined against the orchestra pit, which is then set up on the stage.
