Sumitomo Life Izumi Hall is a shoebox-shaped concert hall with 821 seats that seeks to replicate the ideal sound field found in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's home hall, the Great Hall of the Vienna Philharmonic. Since its opening in 1990, the hall has provided many people with a place to share the excitement of music.
The meticulously calculated ceiling and wall designs and chandeliers, as well as the chairs and floors that take into consideration the reflective properties of the materials, create the perfect reverberation for classical music, creating a space that makes you feel as if you are enveloped in a "mass of instruments." The sense of unity between the stage and the audience, where you can even feel each other's breathing, is loved by world-class artists.
