Located on the Nicollet Mall and adjacent to a beautiful public plaza, Orchestra Hall is an architectural landmark in downtown Minneapolis. Orchestra Hall, with its open glass structure and whimsical blue tubes, was designed to offer concert goers a warm, welcoming ambiance and acoustical perfection.
Orchestra Hall was constructed on the site of the former Lyceum Theater at 1111 Nicollet Mall, where the Minnesota Orchestra performed from 1905 to 1930. The Hall was designed by Cyril Harris and when it opened its doors in 1974, a new era in arts and entertainment in the Upper Midwest began.
The acoustically-acclaimed concert hall quickly became a major performance center. Orchestra Hall is particularly renowned for its acoustics with each design feature carefully planned to enhance the warmth and richness of sound in the space.
Over 100 large cubes form a "falling rock" pattern on the auditorium ceiling. These blocks provide hundreds of surfaces that deflect sound, making Orchestra Hall among the most acoustically perfect theaters in the nation. The cubes were added for sound reasons, but have visual appeal as well. The wood floor and stage allow for better sound vibration, and the angle of the balconies offers optimal reflection of sound.
The exterior of Orchestra Hall is remarkable with its large, blue ventilation ducts. Their unusual size was chosen to reduce air velocities and hence noise.
The unique building design, both inside and out, make Orchestra Hall a fun place to attend a show. The excellent acoustics will satisfy even the most finicky ear. Orchestra Hall continues to be a truly grand existence in downtown Minneapolis and a must attend for both locals and visitors alike.
