Semperoper, Dresden, Germany 🇩🇪
"The good acoustics of the Semper Opera in Dresden,

The Semper Opera in Dresden had, before burning down in 1945, a distinguished reputation, among other things for its acoustics. Before starting its construction recently, the essential characteristics were defined by means of an acoustical model. These were (a) the inner surfaces of the stage opening; (b) wide, shell‐shaped structures underneath the balcony fronts; (c) reduced depth of boxes, to obtain reflections from their rear walls; (d) a large, reverberant space above the fourth balcony. The reconstruction of the Opera house reproduces these characteristics almost accurately." - https://lnkd.in/dXtSd7NE
"IT IS MADE IN ITALY THE NEW ACOUSTICAL SHELL OF DRESDEN OPERA HOUSE - SEMPEROPER, Suono Vivo Srl, 2015
According to the rules. This was the "condicio sine qua non" the Management of the prestigious Dresden Semperoper stressed entrusting the Padua-Italy Suono Vivo Company to realize the new philological Acoustical Shell which in Autumn is going to be installed in the historical German Theatre.
"A colossal work, which required the full coordination of several workers, all Italian, highly specialized to meet the demand of this prestigious Client who has recognized our specific know-how," said Maria Luisa Vaccari, President of Suono Vivo, a Company which, for more than a decade, has realized many complex structures aimed at optimizing acoustic sound and which are now used in the most renowned Concert Halls and Theatres all over Europe.
"The project was very hard. It came to make Acoustics adjustments without distorting, but in fact enhancing, the authentic spirit of the Theatre itself! This Acoustical Shell, which has the task of optimizing the sound performance between the musicians and the public maximizing the overall effect of the performance, it is not only such impressive in size, but it is really philological, which means that it perfectly imitates all the aesthetic-decorative embellishments which distinguish the magnificent Semperoper which represents the highest expression of a German Theatre" continues Vaccari.
"We, as always, have taken on this new challenge with great enthusiasm and conscientiousness, trying to obtain the best possible balance between all technical complexities, the best Acoustics result, the necessary grace and the philological/architectural decorative accuracy as requested by the prestigious Client".
