Bergen’s grand hall
The Grieg Concert Hall is the biggest concert hall in Bergen. It accommodates up to 2,200 people and provides the potential for staging all types of major cultural events right in the city centre.The hall is known for its fantastic acoustics and is the home to the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and the Bergen National Opera, among others. The stage’s flexible solutions facilitate the execution of all types of cultural performances, and it is frequently used for ballet and other kinds of dance performances, stand-up shows, musicals and sometimes even circuses. During a visit by the John Curry Ice Skating Company, the stage was frozen over for ice dance accompanied by a symphony orchestra in the orchestra pit. Here, there is just no limit to creativity!
For a more intimate concert experience, the Peer Gynt Hall can be utilised, which accommodates audiences of up to 700. Renovated and equipped with the most up-to-date technology in 2016, the Peer Gynt Hall is a perfect choice for concerts and performances of a medium size or smaller.
Our unique foyers function as large mingling areas and are ideal for serving refreshments before and during a concert or show. In addition, the concert experience can be combined with an intimate banquet or dinner in one of our two VIP rooms, Salong Edvard and Salong Nina.
