Scheduled to open in 2015 in the city of Athens the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center
will become the new home for the Greek National Opera and Ballet. This paper presents the
acoustical design considerations for the future opera theatre. A retrospective of Greek influence
in the history of the opera theatre design is presented with benchmarking and precedents
considered for the project. Through presentations of the some of the design thoughts and
approaches still in development, including the form, geometry, seating distribution, wall shaping,
and materials in the opera theatre, the paper describes how the new design references and
incorporates the profound influence of Greek Culture on development of the Opera House as we
know it today.
