Rome’s Music Auditorium by Renzo Piano

Home » Theater Hall Design » Rome’s Music Auditorium by Renzo Piano

In order to diverse the musical needs of the Italian capital, Renzo Piano penned the Parco della Musica which is also a state of the art. The music auditorium is opened in the north part of Rome known as Flaminio, near the Olympic village, in 2002.

It is composed of three separate halls of 2800, 1200 and 750 in capacity. Positioned around an open-air amphitheatre, the halls look like three enormous “music boxes”, whose colours and materials recall those of the domes dotting the urban landscape of Rome. The interiors are entirely made of cherry wood, most suited to the acoustic challenges.

Already affectionately known as “the beetle” amongst locals, the venue played a vital role in shaping the confidence and interest of Romans in contemporary architecture.
