Inside, the warm-toned auditorium with approximately 1850 seats creates an intimate yet grand atmosphere, enhanced by exceptional acoustics achieved through innovative sound reflection. Highlights include the green vault showcasing a fine glass collection and the dome's LED lighting that evokes a starry night sky. Offering symphonic concerts, chamber music, and special events, the Tonhalle blends architectural heritage with musical excellence, drawing audiences to experience its timeless allure.
