Bayreuth Festspielhaus

Bayreuth Festspielhaus in Bavaria, Germany

Back to concert halls and theatre examples

Here you can listen to Donizetti, Verdi, Puccini and Machaut, in Bavaria, Germany. The multi source auralisation is based on recordings by the University of Bologna, as described by this paper, and some additional recordings by the same university. For Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini, the instruments were recorded in a silent room with 12 microphones, to match playback from a dodecahedral speaker. The auralisations were produced with the tracks recorded from the microphone at -10.8º elevation and 0º azimuth. For Machaut, the recordings were done in an anechoic chamber, with a single recording per singer.

The auralisations were made for 3 audience positions (blue dots) as shown in the animation below (Donizetti) and the figures further below.

Below you may download an ODEON Zip Archive of this example, which is a packaged ODEON model (for ODEON Auditorium or Combined, 15.15 or newer) containing all the necessary files to run it: room geometry, assigned materials, source and receiver placements, anechoic recordings, etc. The extracted anechoic recordings can then be used for auralisations on any other room model.

To unzip an ODEON Zip Archive:

Launch ODEON
Go to File > Zip > Unzip archive
Select your downloaded ODEON Zip Archive
Select a folder to extract the files

ODEON will then automatically load the room.
