Auditorium de Dijon opened in November 1998.
The 1600-seat Auditorium is the first French facility purpose-designed,
and built, to properly accommodate a wide range of programs including
orchestra, orchestra with chorus, chamber orchestra, opera, dance,
musical theater, recitals, speech theater, and variety attractions.
The Auditorium provides seating on the main floor and two balconies.
The stage, side stage, and rear stage accommodate
theatrical productions and concerts. Artec's concert theatre design
utilizes the lower portion of the stagehouse as a reverberance chamber
for orchestral concerts and recitals. The cubage of the reverberance
chamber can be adjusted by careful placement of towers and drapery,
as well as by opening or closing the walls between the rear stage
and/or the side stage with the stagehouse proper.
Artec's design for the theatre equipment permits
quick changeovers during performances. The large orchestra pit/forestage
extension lifts and motorized audience seating wagons enable quick
shifts from concert platforms of varying scale, to patron seating.
Adjustable acoustics devices, banners, and curtains reduce sound
reflections within the room. The concert ceiling stores high above
the performance area and out of the way of the stagehouse flying
system; concert towers are stored in a large room behind the rear
stage.
