Here are a few photos I took during a concert by the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra in the 2100-seat main hall of the Meistersingerhall in Nuremberg.

Imho., the venue is somewhat underrated. Built in 1963, it reflects the height of post-war modernist architecture. From the outside, it appears rather modest, but inside it features a 1,500 sqm (16,146 sq ft) main hall with an additional 570 sqm (6,135 sq ft) upper tier (shown in the photos), as well as a smaller 500 sqm (5,382 sq ft) hall. The interior follows a clear "form follows function" layout, moving from cloakroom to a spacious foyer and then into the concert hall. Both the main hall and foyer feel like a time capsule of 1960s Western modernism, with wood-paneled walls in the hall and large artworks, glass walls, and Barcelona chairs in the foyer.

Everything was very clean, and prices were quite reasonable, even by German standards (regular tickets started at just €28, with discounts available).…
