Description
Auditorium Parco della Musica is a world-famous concert complex located in the capital of Italy - the city of Rome.
The Auditorium is an exceptional center of musical art in Rome. The project was designed by the architect Renzo Piano, as a complex with several concert halls with an open-air amphitheater. The Auditorium was first opened in 2002 and since then has become an important part of the cultural landscape of the Italian capital and one of its attractions.
The main purpose of the Auditorium is to create a center for classical music in the Italian capital. Also, the second name of the complex is very appropriate - Park of Music, also symbolizes the main idea.
The site for construction was chosen to be a deserted place between the banks of the Tiber and the Parioli hill, next to the Olympic Village built for the 1960 Games. Despite the fact that it is on the outskirts of the city, it is easy to get here because the old quarter of Flaminio is located nearby, where many communications are carried out.
The halls represent three musical instruments. Also, the architectural project was based on high requirements for acoustic comfort and functionality. For this purpose, all three music halls are maximally separated from each other in order to eliminate the problem of sound overlap. The 2800-seat hall is designed for concerts of a large symphony orchestra and choir. The 1200-seat hall is intended for opera, ballet, as well as for using the hall for concerts of contemporary music. And finally, the 700-seat hall is equipped with an orchestra pit and wide possibilities for transforming its "mini stages".
