Auditorium Niccolò Paganini, Concert hall in Parma, Italy
The Auditorium Niccolò Paganini is a concert hall housed in a converted industrial building with expansive glass walls offering views of surrounding trees. The space contains approximately 780 seats arranged on gradually rising levels that ensure sightlines to the stage from every position.
The building was originally constructed as a sugar refinery and operated from 1899 to 1968. Architect Renzo Piano later transformed the abandoned industrial site into a contemporary concert hall.
The venue is named after Niccolò Paganini, a celebrated violinist who once led Parma's ducal orchestra. This honors the city's rich musical heritage and connection to one of history's greatest string players.
The auditorium is housed in an easily accessible building designed for comfortable viewing experiences. Visitors should arrive early to familiarize themselves with the layout and locate exits before performances begin.
The original industrial walls, approximately 80 meters long, have been preserved and form the foundational structure of the concert space. This manufacturing heritage remains visible in the architecture and gives the venue its distinctive character.
