Experience the world of classical music at one of these amazing concert halls.

Vienna State Opera

This entity is both an opera house and an opera company, and even recruits many of its members from the Vienna Philharmonic.

Boston Symphony Hall

Built in 1900, Boston Symphony Hall was modeled on Leipzig’s Gewandhaus. Despite its age, this venue is renowned for its acoustics, often cited as one of the best sounding in the world.

Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall

Tokyo’s concert hall has interesting architecture with a wooden interior, rectangular hall and pyramid roof. It’s one of Yo-Yo Ma’s favorite venues.

Sala São Paulo

The city built a new home for its symphony orchestra by renovating the waiting area of a railway station. Sala São Paulo kept the original architecture while installing a moveable ceiling, allowing them to adjust the acoustics based on the performer.

La Scala, Milan

If you’re in the mood for opera, La Scala is the most important venue of the genre, premiering some of the most famous plays in the world as far back as the 1700s.

Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles

Frank Gehry designed this Los Angeles landmark and it sounds as good as it looks. The acoustics are so detailed, the orchestra discovered mistakes in their sheet music that no one had noticed for decades.
