In this Baroque ensemble set in the midst of the popular Augarten park, a modern concert hall for the Vienna Boys’ Choir was built despite some very vociferous protests. The MuTh (Music and Theatre) Hall offers space for 400 spectators. The contemporary architectural style signals the modern continuation of a traditional Viennese cultural heritage.
gebaut  
A significant feature of this building is its folded, silvery surface that endows it with a certain lightness. The architects deliberately avoided the creation of symmetries or of a main façade.
