"Beranek’s list does not have a single hall in Russia and they have excellent halls in Moscow and in St. Petersburg," notes acoustics expert Lokki Tapio.
Tchaikovsky Concert Hall has 1,505 seats. It opened in 1609.
Mariinsky Theatre has 1,609 seats. It opened in 1860.
Tapio also points to notable halls in "Stavanger, Budapest, Aalborg, etc." and notes that many new halls are opened all the time, "such as La Philharmonie de Paris, Elbphilharmonie, many halls in China."
