Polish Baltic Philharmony: "The best concert hall in Europe!" Top 5 Page for this destination Gdansk Nightlife Tip by matcrazy1

If you are a fan of serious music, you simply must check the schedule of concerts which take place in the concert hall of Polish Baltic Philharmony (on their webpage or ask in any tourist information office). Why?
- top world's musicians and orchestaras, including Polish ones, play there,
- the concert hall is said to be the best one in Europe,
- tickets for a concert cost only 25 - 45 zl (for the best places; €1 = 4 zl).

I usually go for a concert of serious music once or twice a year. I look for top concerts or those ones in a church (organ concerts) or played for a very special occasion. I've enjoyed a concert of Jean Michel Jarre in Gdansk shipyard a lot. But apart from that event, I wanted to hear music in the best concert hall in Europe, completed in 2003 on the Olowianka Island but unfortunatelly there were no concerts there that time.

But, thanks to one very nice guy from the staff of the Polish Baltic Philharmony, I was allowed to enter the concert hall during an orchestra rehearsal. Well, I'd really love to hear the whole concert there. With the centrally located stage, the design follows ancient Greek amphitheatres. There are 970 seats around the stage and on a balcony. Both the design and the acoustics seems to be perfect. No wonder, that many top, world famous, musicians say that this concert hall is among the best ones in Europe (add Berlin and Manchester here).

Dress Code: No jeans, T-shirts or sneakers, but not necessarilly a formal suit. For visitors or young folks something between (a jacket, a shirt or casual suit) is acceptable.
