The Sage is an eye-popping curved glass construction, which explains why it’s now called The Glasshouse. Its three venues were constructed as isolated buildings in order to prevent transmission of noise and vibration. A special “spongy” concrete mix was used in the construction, with a higher-than-usual air capacity to improve the acoustics. Hall One is a spectacular wood-paneled auditorium boasting world-class acoustics and a seating capacity of up to 1,640. Designed to the highest international standards, it was intended as an acoustically perfect space, loosely modeled on the renowned Musikverein in Vienna.
