“For an architect, the greatest adventure of all is
to build a concert hall... But the Auditorium di
Roma is not just an auditorium; it is a full-fledged
Music City...” (Renzo Piano)
The Auditorium Parco della Musica, designed by the world-famous architect Renzo Piano, is Rome’s most important cultural and urban development project since the 1960s. This extraordinary multipurpose complex is situated minutes from the historic centre, near the River Tiber between. Within its sophisticated musical architecture, the Auditorium hosts not only all genres of music but all the other arts as well. Its three principal halls, Petrassi, Sinopoli and Santa Cecilia, are genuine “soundboxes”, three gigantic musical instruments suspended on a 30,000 square-meter hanging structure. The large cavea surrounded by the three halls is in effect a real Italian piazza, functioning both as a meeting place and as an open-air theatre.
Inside there is also the archaeological area with its museum, the Aristaios museum with its collection of ancient Mediterranean ceramics and the MUSA Museum of Musical Instruments.
Auditorium Parco della Musica is an exciting, lively cultural centre that should not be missed!
Not all concert halls may be available at the time of the visit and the itinerary may change or be canceled, even at short notice, due to performances, rehearsals or other activities in the building.
If the participants arrive with a delay of more than 30 minutes, the visit could be canceled. In this case no refund will be provided.
