Théâtre de Beaulieu

Het Théâtre de Beaulieu werd oorspronkelijk geopend in 1954 en is nog steeds het grootste van Zwitserland. De renovatie en upgrade omvatten het ontwerp van een nieuwe akoestisch geoptimaliseerde orkestschelp en de integratie van een elektronisch galmsysteem om de natuurlijke akoestische nagalm te verbeteren.

In het Théâtre de Beaulieu vinden diverse voorstellingen plaats, variërend van hedendaagse dans, toneel, klassieke concerten, waaronder die met het Orchestre de la Suisse Romande en met het Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, tot jazz- en popconcerten. Deze renovatie geeft het Théâtre de Beaulieu een grote akoestische veelzijdigheid en verzekert een uitstekende kwaliteit voor alle gebruiksdoeleinden .

Théâtre de BeaulieuThe stage of the Théâtre de Beaulieu was equipped with a new modular orchestra shell allowing classical concerts to be held with excellent listening conditions on stage. The sidewalls and the ceiling of the shell are cladded with curved wooden panels, while a semi-reflective fabric closes off the rear of the stage, allowing for lighting effects or video-projection.

In particular, concave ceiling areas were carefully checked and adjusted to avoid excessive acoustic focussing. Foto © Kahle Acoustics
