Lovely, Marilyn. Don’t you just love that old architecture? The curves soften the look.

We have a bunch of these 19th century concert halls and they have some great decorations. Many of them quite art deco, but more important, good acoustics 🙂

Good acoustics is an art in itself.

Yes. Modern concert halls aren’t nearly as good as the ones built 150 years ago. They knew what worked.

You’re right. The newer Roy Thomson Hall isn’t nearly as good as the old Massey Hall in Toronto.

When they built the new Philharmonic Hall in New York in the 1970s, it was really bad. No one wanted to perform there. It took them years to get the sound half as good as Carnegie, which was built in the mid 1800s. Old Roman amphitheatres — built 2000+ years ago — have amazing acoustics.

Then there’s Epidaurus in Greece. They can hear you whisper, at the top row, when you stand on the podium.

I believe it. There is a small, almost complete Roman amphiteater at Caesarea on the Mediterranean in Israel. You could stand on the stage and talk in a quiet, normal voice and be heard anywhere in the theatre. Obviously, those old guys knew something about acoustics that modern designers should learn.

Wow, that is a very beautiful stone bridge, looks almost like a medieval bridge. The architecture photo is cool too with the two curved elements… is one a window and the other side a door?

Thanks. It’s an old concert hall (Mechanic’s Hall) in Worcester. Garry’s brother and his choir were performing there.
