Koningin Elisabethzaal, Concert hall and theatre at Koningin Astridplein, Antwerp, Belgium
The Koningin Elisabethzaal features a modern auditorium with wood-paneled surfaces and can accommodate between 1,850 and 2,000 visitors depending on the event configuration.
The venue traces its origins to 1895 when the Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp began organizing concerts at the Antwerp Zoo, with the first hall built in 1897.
The concert hall serves as the primary performance space for the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra and hosts various music genres, theatrical productions, and cultural events throughout the year.
Located next to Antwerp Central Station, the venue offers multiple parking options in nearby garages and maintains direct connections to public transportation networks.
The architectural design, created by Ian Simpson from Manchester in collaboration with Kirkegaard Associates from Chicago, incorporates custom-fabricated panels for optimal acoustic performance.
