FEATURES:
A hall with fabulous acoustics. If there is one thing that makes Iturbi Hall unique, it is its outstanding acoustics, with 2.1 seconds of reverberation, making it one of the best halls in the world for symphonic music. Over its more than thirty years of existence, it has hosted the best international orchestras, renowned conductors, and top-tier soloists.
The Turia River is part of the hall’s identity, as the exterior design features a cantilever that extends beyond the hall’s boundaries, turning the adjacent area into a balcony with privileged views of the lobby and the gardens of the riverbed.
