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

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.
