Victoria’s newest music facility, the Melbourne Recital Centre, has been designed as a pinnacle for musical appreciation and performance through its acoustic quality and amenity. The natural resonance of the hall will immerse the listener in the sound of the performance.
It is like the great halls of the old world like Wigmore Hall and the Musikverein, but is a music space reborn, a contemporary place in the new world. It matches this excellence in the sophistication of its architectural imagery. The MRC incorporates the 1000-seat Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Hall and the 150-seat Salon.
The design is fundamentally ordered around a procession from the street to foyer to the main spaces. This parti has its roots in the galleries of the great European performing halls, but its particular flow and mise-en-scene are of the 21st century. The MRC consolidates this city’s rich history for acoustic music performance, creating a beacon in the musical culture of Australia.
