Situated in Oporto, Portugal, the building for the new concert hall, the Casa da Musica, has a unique form with a complex arrangement of interior spaces. The principal internal space is the main auditorium, which can accommodate 1500 spectators; there is also a small auditorium, which can accommodate 350 spectators, as well as ancillary accommodation and service areas. The exterior of the building is constructed from large panels of reinforced, whose thickness is 40cm, inclined at different angles. These panels are joined monolithically so that they act together to form a fundamental element of the structure.
The Philharmonia Orchestra performed at the Casa da Musica on 16 April 2005 as part of the opening celebrations.
