Concert Hall for All Seasons
A favorite place for Geneva residents and guests of the city is the Victoria Hall. The building is named after Queen Victoria. Its construction lasted 3 years in the period from 1891 to 1894 years. The main sponsor, who donated a lot of money for the construction of the concert hall, was the consul of England in Geneva - Daniel Barton, known as a great admirer of music. The architectural design of the building was developed by local author John Camoletti. At the beginning of the 20th century, Victoria Hall was transferred to the municipality. After 82 years (1986), the concert hall survived a fire, partially destroyed the internal premises and decorations, which in a few years were restored. The auditorium is designed for 1600 seats.
