This proscenium stage is made by 90% of wood and has a
natural reverberation which gives to the auditorium an
exceptional acoustic, attested by great musicians as Carlo Maria
Giulini and Dame Joan Sutherland.
This exceptional acoustic is intensified by a phonic isolation
of the proscenium. The sound is amplified and transfered down
the stage which is on wood. The acoustic of the Theatre Impérial
is ideal for acoustic, electric and electroacoustic sounds.
