Stadtcasino Basel – Contacts & Location
Description
A warm welcome to us
After 4 years of renovation by Herzog & de Meuron, the Stadtcasino Basel, the No. 1 concert hall in the cultural city of Basel, shines in new splendor! Enjoy the fantastic atmosphere, the world-famous acoustics or book the entire building for your event!
The Stadtcasino Basel has two excellent halls with very different qualities: the Musiksaal and the Hans Huber-Saal.
Music Hall: world-famous
The music hall of the Stadtcasino Basel enjoys an international reputation for its excellent acoustic quality. The hall was opened in 1876 for over 1400 people. Musicians and listeners are treated to a brilliant sound image with a homogeneous fusion of tones. The hall thus gives visitors the inimitable feeling of a sound-enveloping concert experience.
MÜLLER-BBM was responsible for the acoustics of the entire renovation. The aim was to preserve the historic building fabric as far as possible. However, many components also had to be newly integrated, such as the entire hall floor, the hall seating and a mobile podium for the orchestra. High-quality windows were installed in the historic openings in the façade so that daylight can once again enter the building and all traffic noise is kept outside. A new ventilation and air conditioning system ensures very quiet comfort.
But why does the Musiksaal have its incomparable acoustics?
A compact hall geometry and the rich decoration with pilasters and stucco work, which results in an optimal dispersion of sounds, provide a lot of space and time for an ideal sound fusion. The currently measured reverberation times and other room acoustics criteria meet the highest sound standards even after the renovation.
In contrast to the Musiksaal, the Hans Huber Hall has a rather simple design. With its equally excellent room acoustics and a capacity of around 400 seats, it is an ideal venue for chamber music performances.
