Description

The Bartók National Concert Hall opened in 2005, and is the jewel in the crown that is the Palace of Arts, a venue that includes the National Theater and a smaller performing arts space. This beautifully designed 1,800 seat hall has been conceived to be acoustically sound, and sealed. The Concert Hall is home to the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, and regularly hosts concerts by the Budapest Festival Orchestra. The National Concert Hall has the dimensions of a Gothic cathedral, and the world class acoustics are the work of the famed acoustic designer Russell Johnson.
