2- Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall, Japan
The Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall appears to be a conventional rectangular hall if you take a moment and look down from a balcony.
If you look up, the ceiling forms a giant distorted pyramid covered in complex wooden grooves.
The hall shape recalls the well-regarded Maltings Concert Hall in Snape, England.
Auditoriums of this shape are actually quite rare, but can have excellent acoustics.
At the opening night in Tokyo, celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma commented: “This hall simply has some of the best acoustics in which I have ever had the privilege to play.”
The Tokyo Opera City is one of the best concert halls in the world!
