Sala Radio

Sala Radio is a concert hall in Bucharest extending across multiple levels with a main auditorium holding approximately 980 seats, designed for optimal acoustic performance. The building sits in central Bucharest and was specifically planned for musical performances and radio broadcasts.

Sala Radio was built between 1959 and 1961 in response to Romania's need for a modern concert venue for professional performances. The building became a symbol of the country's musical development during the post-war period.

The venue is deeply tied to Romania's broadcasting history and serves as home to an orchestra performing both traditional and contemporary works. Visitors experience the daily life of musicians who perform for national and international radio broadcasts.

The hall is located on Strada General Henri Mathias Berthelot in central Bucharest and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should check in advance whether a performance is scheduled for their intended date.

The hall is one of the few concert venues in Southeastern Europe with specialized facilities for direct digital recording of live performances in studio quality. This technical setup allows performances to be captured for archival and broadcast purposes at the highest standards.
