Τhe key aspects of its acoustic design include:

1. The creation of lateral balconies that produce excellent lateral sound reflections necessary for the generation of the acoustic envelopment for the main audience area.

2. A dynamic acoustical ceiling that supports the adaptation of the Hall’s reverberation time to various musical functions and events.

3. The amalgamation of acoustical diffusion and reflection with the architectural intention, through the “vertebral” form of the Hall.

4. A carefully designed sloped floor so as to support both a clear sound reception and a fully unobstructed view of the stage from all seats.

5. Ten built in translation booths under the perimetric balcony designed based on the latest acoustic standards of the E.U.

The project has obtained a LEED for New Construction 2.2 Platinum (certified on 11/02/2016).

Our firm was assigned to conduct the acoustic design consultancy along with JV Impregilo Sp.A-TERNA SA.

In particular, our firm was responsible for resolving the following:

• Main Opera Hall (1401 seats)
• Performance Hall 2 (471)
• The main stage including the stage tower, pit area, understage area and the offstage area (rear and front side stages) of the main opera hall
• All sound insulation matters regarding the building acoustics
• All sound insulation matters of the entire MEP Network
• 5 soloist rehearsal rooms
• 4 musician warm up rooms
• The radio studio
• All the rest main and secondary areas of the opera house and library complex

Finally, our firm was also in charge for the monitoring of the noise emitted from the construction works to the inhabited areas at the site boundaries, until the practical completion of the construction program.

The hall can host the following events: classical music concerts, ballet, opera, drama, as well as conferences. The ceiling and the side walls of the stage can adapt using specially designed mechanical means, in order to serve as a dynamic acoustical component that can transform the hall’s reverberation time.

Thessaloniki Concert Hall is ranked amongst the best Greek Acoustic Concert Halls along with the Heraklion Cultural Centre, the Athens Concert Hall and the new Opera House of Athens. In fact, external crits have mentioned that its reverberation time when the hall is empty is similar to that of the Vienna Hall and the Amsterdam Hall (class: Α+ “Superior”) and that the acoustic conditions, when the hall is fully occupied, are very good for symphonic music and opera performances.

Amongst our acoustic design aims, a new acoustic shell is also introduced. Symphonic orchestra music can now be hosted for the first time since the theatres’s birth, while the preserved neoclassical canopy “whispers” its story.
