Sydney Opera House

Sydney Opera House is looking to optimise the acoustic qualities of the Concert Hall which hosts orchestral, choral and amplified performances.

There has been extensive consultation with all stakeholders including Sydney Symphony musicians and conductors (International acoustics expert Larry Kirkegaard is investigating how best to improve the acoustics), and the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

I understand from various statements that the Concert Hall has certain acoustical problems. But as it is an impressive auditorium, that the public is happy about, I suggest that an approach be made to an acoustical specialist who has made concert halls of a similar size and complexity with success.
