Casa da Música Concerts 2024-2025

I visited the casa de musica with 4 friends i know from studying architecture. We did a tour and were lucky to get to visit almost every venue. The building was fascinating and our guide, Isabella, was a very good at explaining the essence and every detail of casa de musica. I wish that the next time I visit I will get to listen to a concert there. All our expectations have been met and exceeded even. We had a blast!

Phenomenal building, impressive brutalistic architecture. Definetly worth a visit, even for just a peek inside and admiring the beatuful interior deisgn.

The famous building designed by Rem Koolhaas disappointed me when I went to a concert there. Unfortunately, the building is not as beautiful as it is portrayed in photographs; I thought it was a major architectural failure. There is no attention to detail, just a superficial mass. The interior design lacks guidance on where to go upon entry... The coldness of metal in the corridors... The metallic elements on the stage that do not harmonize with the rest of the concert hall... There were so many things that caught my eye, I couldn't believe it. Let's say some of these are aesthetic preferences. The most glaring example you notice upon entering is whether there is a store area or not is unclear. You can only glance at the products from a distance. It's so impractical. I especially invite Koolhass to spend five minutes in front of one of the toilets here. I saw two kids struggling to open that heavy and unnecessary toilet door! For example, a toilet door that someone needs to open for children, and one that people have to exert unnecessary force to open, is a great architectural failure in my opinion! The use of the area around the building is also far from what is presented in the photographs. I would say the skateboarders make good use of it, but they also complain about the meaningless indentations! :) I'll give it a slightly high rating because the staff were professional and courteous. Our concert experience was generally good. It's a place to go for the music, but don't expect much from the building.

We didn’t come here for a concert, but the guided tour was very nice! It was a great experience to see all the hidden parts of the Casa da Música and the history behind it.

I haven’t attended any event but I have been inside and outside of the place. It is very nice guiding with outside space where you can just chill during sunny days. Inside there is coffee shop with very good prices and free very fast internet. Recommended for a day of remote work or coffee break.
