Facilities

The Recital Hall is used for small-group performances, such as recitals and chamber music and jazz concerts. It is Kansai's first arena-type recital hall, with a stage surrounded by seats. This configuration largely reduces the distance between the stage and the audience, allowing the audience to follow every movement of the performers and even hear them breathing. While the floor is flat and uniquely octagon-shaped, the ceiling has the shape of a flower. This small space is surrounded by mildly curved walls and ceiling, and audience members will feel as if they are wrapped gently in natural sounds. The foyer is glass-walled on all sides and is full of natural light. From the foyer, a rooftop garden is clearly visible, which will delight audience members with its seasonal flowers. The foyer will provide audiences with pleasant and relaxing moments during intermission.
