Russell Johnson and Damian Doria&#8217;s trip to Odessa has gone a long way towards burying, we hope forever, a famous and amusing Odessan myth. The myth is as follows. &#8220;the reason for the hall\u2019s poor acoustics is due to the fact that it was built originally to be the main trading floor of the Odessa Stock Exchange, and built so that people could not overhear each other&#8217;s conversations.&#8221; Almost everyone in our city seems to be familiar with this myth. In fact, however, there is little of substance to this myth &#8211; there are far more <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/odessaphil.org\/pages.php?page=hallreport#6\">precise and concrete reasons<\/a><\/strong> for the hall\u2019s failure to live up to its acoustical potential in recent decades, as the report by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Doria of ARTEC shows.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Since 1996, much has been done to improve the acoustics: the curtains which used to hang all around the stage during every rehearsal and concert the OPO gave for decades are gone at last; and in 2000 the stage was rebuilt. Both of these changes have improved the acoustics considerably, much to the pleasure of the musicians and to the pleasant surprise of our audience in the former Stock Exchange. Nevertheless, much remains to be done to reach the hall&#8217;s true acoustical potential: the traffic noise is still audible and the windows need to be dealt with properly.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Upon the news of the OPO being awarded National Status in June 2002, the Governor of the Odessa Region, Mr. Serhiy Hrynevetsky, has promised to continue work on the hall, which is state-owned. In accordance with his orders, new seats for the audience are being made and the main floor of the concert hall is being re-done. Both of these changes should improve our hall&#8217;s acoustics further.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">There is hope that some of the other remaining acoustical problems, including proper sealing and covering of the windows, will be dealt with soon. Last but not least, the repair of the hall&#8217;s heating system is also an urgent priority.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">If all of the issues Russell Johnson mentions in his report are dealt with fully and properly, we can keep alive our hope of fulfilling his eye-raising prediction for the acoustics of our hall.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <div class=\"dfd-spacer-module\"  data-units=\"px\" data-wide_size=\"20\" data-normal_resolution=\"1024\" data-normal_size=\"\" data-tablet_resolution=\"800\" data-tablet_size=\"\" data-mobile_resolution=\"480\" data-mobile_size=\"\" style=\"height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div><div  class=\"vc_row vc-row-wrapper \"  data-parallax_sense=\"30\"><div class=\"wpb_row row\" >\n\t<div class=\"twelve columns vc-column-extra-class-69e52c6924d48\"  data-parallax_sense=\"30\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"dfd-spacer-module\"  data-units=\"px\" data-wide_size=\"30\" data-normal_resolution=\"1024\" data-normal_size=\"\" data-tablet_resolution=\"800\" data-tablet_size=\"\" data-mobile_resolution=\"480\" data-mobile_size=\"\" style=\"height: 30px;\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Concert Hall The first-ever photograph of the interior of Philharmonic Hall, Odessa -
