Tonhalle Düsseldorf

In the location's words:

In 1926, a beautiful planetarium was built on the banks of the Rhine in Düsseldorf. It was intended to make the approximately 5,984,000,000 kilometers from the sun to the outermost planet in our system a little more manageable. As so often in history, everything turned out quite differently.

In the 1970s, the well-known hemisphere became a concert hall where audiences came together to explore the infinite expanses of culture and be inspired by international stars from all genres. This ranged from classical music to jazz, chanson, soul and cabaret.

In 2005, the conservative look of the large concert hall gave way to a modern ambience in metallic blue. The acoustics are magnificent thanks to sophisticated and ingenious sound redirection. Thanks to LEDs and a sophisticated lighting concept, the Tonhalle is once again visually what it always was: a "planetarium of music". Düsseldorf's starry sky makes the concerts here a special experience. Artistic Director Michael Becker is enthusiastic about the Tonhalle's appeal: "Since the Tonhalle's acoustics were brought into the round, we all enjoy the concerts under the starry sky."

More than 450 concerts with over 300,000 spectators a year make the "Planetarium of Music" a great forum for culture and a place of encounter. Two things in particular have not changed over the years: the broad spectrum and the often euphorically celebrated discoveries in Germany's most beautiful concert hall.
