Solutions that bring entertainment to life

Performing arts centre consulting

Whether you’re building an iconic world-class performing arts venue, or a smaller publicly funded theatre destined to become a community legacy, Halcrow Yolles can help you realise your vision.

Our experienced teams design high-end concert halls that showcase the best in music, opera and dance, as well as Broadway-style theatres that provide the optimum setting for shows ranging from drama to musicals.

We also offer expertise in flexible design solutions for multi-purpose concert facilities, such as sport stadiums, which play host to a variety of events, including rock concerts, the circus and ice skating shows.

Our approach

Our collaborations with the industry’s most renowned acoustical and theatre design experts are the key to our innovative integrated engineering solutions.

In addition to our back-of-house designs that are flexible enough to handle the diverse and demanding special effects and complex stagings inherent in theatre today, we are known for creating highly specialised venues that provide isolation from the noise and vibrations of both internal and external sources, capturing the nuances of even the softest note and supplying recording studio quality sound where appropriate.

We also save you time and frustration by applying our in-depth understanding of your needs as well as critical business and project drivers to anticipate and address design challenges before they occur.

Most importantly, we give your audiences the ultimate entertainment experience by designing facilities with maximised sight lines and intimate viewing spaces to allow for a better connection with performers.
