The Giant Amber Concert Hall stands proudly in the Liepaja cityscape and embodies the vision of "Incredible acoustics and multifunctionality".

Since October 4, 2013, when the official foundation stone for the project was laid, this modern, amber-colored building has been attracting attention.

With its concert hall, an auditorium for chamber music and numerous rehearsal and ancillary rooms, the Giant Amber is a true jewel of stage technology. The concert hall, with a capacity of 1,200 seats, promises an acoustic experience that is second to none.

The upper machinery of the Giant Amber comprises 16 chain hoists and 2 winches, which precisely control the movements of the stage elements , as well as the height-adjustable acoustic sails with a total surface area of 160 m² and a dead weight of approx. 20 tons. The orchestra podium with an area of 55 square meters supports the musical performance. In addition, a transport podium of 6 square meters enables efficient logistics on stage.

The lower machinery offers a flexible platform for artists and performances with a stage podium system covering a total of 102 square meters. Twelve of these podiums ensure versatile use of the space, whether for music performances, plays or other events.

In addition, the Giant Amber Hall is equipped with a Venue Transformer, consisting of strip podiums and the chair system integrated into the podiums, as well as a height-adjustable and movable floor with an astonishing surface area of approx. 180 m² . This makes it possible to design the auditorium in a variety of ways

The entire stage system is coordinated by the C⋅A⋅T control system, which enables seamless integration of all components.
