About the hall

Home of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, opened in September 2014, the year the orchestra turned 135. Arata Isozaki designed the building; Yasuhisa Toyota of Nagata Acoustics tuned the rooms. The exterior is clad in terracotta brick and the roof rises and falls like an open score, deliberately kept low enough not to overwhelm the plane trees and pre-war houses along Middle Fuxing Road. Metro Line 10 runs directly beneath the site. The entire building therefore sits on several hundred rubber springs, decoupled from its own foundations, so that train vibration stops at the wall. It is an unusual measure in concert hall design, and the reason a hall could be built here at all. There are two rooms. The 1200-seat main hall is a vineyard design, with the audience wrapped around three sides of the platform and no seat much more than thirty metres from it. The 400-seat chamber hall, with movable seating and stage, takes chamber music, recitals and anything that needs a different shape.

Parking
There is an underground car park, but it is small and usually full an hour before curtain. Street parking around Middle Fuxing Road and Fenyang Road is tight.
