The first concert hall The first concert hall in Tivoli Gardens opened in 1843. It was expanded in 1873 and is the building now known as the
Glass Hall.
Hans Christian Lumbye was music director and chief conductor from 1843 until 1872. He wrote almost 700 compositions for the orchestra, especially
polkas,
valses and
galops.
The 1902 concert hall A new concert hall was built in "Moorish style" in 1902. The building was designed by
Knud Arne Petersen and Richard Bergmann.
The current building The concert hall was destroyed when Tivoli Gardens was hit during the
schalburgtage on the night between 24 and 25 June 1944. The concert hall was rebuilt to a new, Modernist design by
Frits Schlegel and Hans Hansen. In 2005 the concert hall saw a major renovation and extension by
3XN where the classical 1950s style of the main
auditorium—including a characteristic color scheme of red, blue, yellow and green—was restored, while visitor facilities were upgraded and expanded. ==Use==
