This is a beautiful building, and we were treated to a free concert by a youth orchestra that was wonderful.
My wife and I happened to be in town for the Anniversary Concert featuring George Gershwin. The performance was outstanding particularly numbers from "Porgy & Bess." The Piano Concerto finale was awesome. The acoustics are fantastic as advertised. We sat in the back row and felt like we were in the midst of the orchestra. Simply wonderful!
Three Beethoven symphonies of which the last, the Fifth, received a rapturous reception and standing ovation.

The high quality of the performance, an uplifting way to start a Sunday. And at a very affordable price
really great concert hall - beautifully decorated and comfortable. The Netherlands orchestra was magnificent.
After reading the good reviews, we went there for our first classical concert (we are 40 years old). although we are not big fans of classical music it was amazing. The accoustics really is something special.
We recommend choosing a concert with music that you know for an even better experience.
If you want a bit less expensive concert go...

Attended concert on 11th May having booked Podium (or Choir) seats several weeks previously. No warning on the ticket that the view was restricted. In fact there was no view at all so we were very disappointed. These were the worst seats I have ever had at a concert hall.
Such a beautiful building and the acoustics are amazing. The seats were expensive but worth it just to visit this wonderful place.
