The Crocus City Hall is the pride of Russia. It is multifunctional, cozy and comfortable. He was chosen by many domestic and foreign stars. This is because everything is done with the latest technology and meets the highest international standards.
History of creation
The most famous and most sought-after concert hall was built in honor of Muslim Magomayev by one of the famous Russian businessmen.
The hall was founded on October 25, 2009. Since then, once every two years, a vocal competition dedicated to Muslim Magomayev has been held within its walls.
It seemed that Moscow needs another concert hall when there is the "Olympic" and the Bolshoi. Moreover, its location is inconvenient for most Muscovites and guests of the capital, since it is located outside the Moscow Ring Road. Nevertheless, he managed to become the most popular and in demand in a short time. A photo of the Crocus City Hall is presented below. Russian performers like to organize their solo concerts here, world-famous stars immediately perform.
Multifunctionality
The layout of the Crocus City Hall is so well thought out that with a total capacity of more than 7,000 spectators, it can be transformed into rooms for chamber music concerts.
But that is not all. In special cases, the concert hall can become an arena for an ice show or corporate parties and social events are held here.
Hall scheme
Crocus City Hall can accommodate a maximum of 7233 spectators. It has a conical shape. Near the stage there is an orchestra pit, in the immediate vicinity of the stage there is a grand parterre, a VIP parterre is deeper, followed by a parterre, in the center of which there is a console (sound box). The parterre is bordered by VIP boxes, which, in turn, are divided into central, left and right. The mezzanine is located behind the stalls, but its left and right boxes are directed towards the stage. The final section is the balcony, which is divided into balcony A and balcony B.
The concert hall has three levels of parking: underground, on the ground and on the roof. Having parked, viewers do not have to go around the building in search of the main entrance; they can enter inside from the parking lot.
If you take the metro, you need to get off at the Myakinino station, there is a passage directly to the hall.

CONCERTS IN CROCUS CITY HALL IN THE POSTER SECTION OF OTHER CONCERTS
Despite the fact that there are many reputable and well-known concert venues in Moscow, Crocus City Hall has long been considered the epitome of an ideal concert venue. And this is not an exaggeration.
Today CROCUS CITY HALL is the most popular venue for large-scale concerts. A spacious and comfortable hall, first-class sound and lighting equipment, modern design - all this makes concerts at the Crocus City Hall truly grandiose.
The CROCUS CITY HALL is part of the Crocus Expo IEC. This is a two-level concert hall, which without exaggeration can be called unique. Here everything is thought out to the smallest detail - from the shape and decoration of the hall, and ending with the location of the equipment.
Let's start from the hall. It is designed for 6171 people. The auditorium can be transformed - this is one of the unique features of Crocus City Hall. So, if necessary, the large hall turns into a small hall, for 2200 seats - by separating the balcony with a special curtain. The parterre and the amphitheater remain.
The small hall is used for conferences, presentations, and so on. The second transformation option is the removal of the first 12 rows of stalls. Thus, a solid space is freed up for the dance floor, fan zone, and so on.
The orchestra pit is also subject to transformation, moreover, it can be changed in three ways: the normal state (to accommodate the orchestra), rise to the level of the stalls (building up the visual zone) and rise to the level of the stage (the stage area is growing).
Decoration and form of the hall. The shape of the hall is a classical amphitheatre. When designing the hall, the features of large concert venues of a similar shape, for example, in Mexico City, Las Vegas, were taken into account. The ceiling of Crocus City Hall has an original wavy shape. This is not only a decoration, but also an improvement in the acoustic qualities of the hall. In addition, LEDs are mounted in the ceiling, making it easy to change the color scheme of the hall.
Both the ceiling, the floor and the walls of CROCUS CITY HALL are finished with modern materials with good sound-absorbing properties.
But the main thing in Crocus City Hall is the equipment. Especially sound. In fact, the engineers had to work hard to correctly place all the speakers. The most difficult thing is the distribution of bass speakers, because it is the bass that determines the sound quality and the "fullness" of the music, but it also spoils everything if the speakers are placed incorrectly.
The solution was simple and complex at the same time - subwoofer suspension. Therefore, in CROCUS CITY HALL, the bass is evenly distributed throughout the hall, so the sound of any music here is clear, in any performance. And low frequencies are perceived comfortably, no matter where you sit.
Meyer Sound sound equipment is installed in this concert hall. Sound control was entrusted to the mixing consoles MIDAS XL8 and MIDAS PRO6. Those who are close to the world of music and show business will appreciate this choice. Those who do not understand this will simply appreciate the sound quality at each of the concerts at the Crocus City Hall.
No less careful was the choice of lighting equipment. Scanners, stroboscopes, smoke generators, spotlights, spotlights with a moving body, a modern control panel - all this allows you to create a real extravaganza of color and light. But it's better to see once than hear a hundred times, so just visit the concerts at Crocus City Hall.
What else can be said about this concert hall? You can say a lot, list the advantages of not only the concert hall, but also the foyer, bars, parking lots .... Buy tickets to Crocus City Hall and you will see everything for yourself.
You can only add one. If tickets to Crocus City Hall were sold for concerts of such celebrities as Elton John, Jose Carreras, Caesarea Evora, then, most likely, the best conditions are really created here.
