Caroline Sharpen says ‘there’s no precedent in the world’ for a concert hall having to deal with 23,000-seat stadium just 170 metres from its stage
Caroline Sharpen, head of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, fears the TSO Concert Hall in Hobart could suffer if the new sports stadium is built.Caroline Sharpen, head of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, fears the TSO Concert Hall in Hobart could suffer if the new sports stadium is built.
“There are still too many unanswered questions, particularly around noise and vibration and the ability of the existing concert hall to be able to buffer those without impairing any of our performance, recording or filming activities.”“This is problematic because management mitigation needs to be by mutual agreement – and we can’t predict ongoing relations between the AFL and the TSO,” she said.
According to the development application, the Federation Concert Hall is expected to experience levels of sound spill from crowd noise, game sirens, PA systems and live music of between 49 and 75 decibels. On Thursday the orchestra will hold a joint announcement with the Tasmanian RSL, which has already voiced its opposition to the location.The Tasmanian RSL’s chief executive John Hardy says the state government has a ‘clear lack of understanding’ regarding the cenotaph’s significance.The two organisations will announce a 10 November vigil and free concert at Hobart’s cenotaph to protest against the development.
The render designs provided in the development application by Cox Architects show the stadium’s dome will become a defining feature of Anzac Day’s dawn ceremonies in Hobart.
