Or perhaps, to be more accurate, I should say that the people who listen to classical music are dying, since the audiences at the Met and Chicago Lyric Opera are packed with fur stoles and Chanel No.5. But despite the insistence the classical music is going out of fashion, it’s hard to deny the international attention newly designed concert spaces has been getting in the several years. Frank Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Herzog & de Meuron’s design for the Elbe Philharmonic Hall in Hamburg, Germany and Jean Nouvel’s new Paris Philharmonie project are just some of the latest and most sparkling examples of contemporary concert hall design; these radical redesigns hope to mirror function and form, and are nothing like the dowdy concert halls built during the last 2 centuries.
