About Us
The National Concert Hall is rated by performing artists as one of the finest concert halls in Europe and attracts over 320,000 concert-goers a year.
With weekly performances by our resident orchestra - the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra - and a programme ranging from classic operas and magical musicals to contemporary Irish folk, the National Concert Hall is a thriving venue catering for all musical tastes.
The redevelopment of our site on Earlsfort Terrace, due for completion in 2013, will see the renovation of our current Hall and the creation of two brand new performance spaces, including a world-class auditorium seating up to 2,000 patrons.
