A performance venue extraordinaire, the Neoclassical Romanian Athenaeum is the home of the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra.
Description
Wrapped in gardens, this magnificent structure was completed in 1888 and given a thorough restoration to save it from collapse in 1992. Under a grand dome embellished with gilded stuccowork, the circular concert hall seats more than 650 and has an epic fresco on its frieze that depicts the most pivotal events in Romanian history.
For an affordable night of Haydn, Bach or Mozart, book online and pick up tickets from the box office.
Be here in September for the George Enescu Festival, when there’s a busy program of performances and one of Eastern Europe’s biggest classical events.
