Improvements in the Acoustics optimization of the Strehler Theatre

When the Strehler theatre was planned, its performances from the acoustics point of view have not been taken in the right account. As a consequence, the theatre has now an appreciable visual impact but a poor acoustics. Thanks to the first measurements we have been able to ascribe the main reasons of the lack of good acoustics to the shape and the materials of the hall. Therefore we first suggested some simple operations to improve the acoustics of the theatre. The results have validated our simulation model and we have been able to identify the definitive structural operations for a good listening of music and drama as described in this paper.
