    Nice room, with a superb acoustics, the best place to get in touch with classic music in Sao Paulo. Easy to park (in the back of venue) an I recommend to get here by Uber or taxi. Nice cafe inside, small so get crowded during intervals.

    One of my favorite activities in Sao Paulo. Besides the great program that is offered all year long, the place itself is a masterpiece. Very elegant, and the acoustic is equal to very other few places. The surrounding is not so nice, so driving or taking a ride is more recommended if you are not used to walking in downtown Sao Paulo.

    It is a concert hall where we can feel good echo of sound. There are sometimes complimentary concert. It’s worth to go and listen melodic atmospheres. They have parking lot. Surrounding area is danger so it’s better to park there.

    I recommend visiting Sala Sao Paulo for an unforgettable music experience. The Rachmaninoff 2nd Symphony performed by the Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Louis Langree was a remarkable highlight. The concert hall has exceptional acoustics and is truly breathtaking.

    Can much can I rave about this place? The building itself is beautiful, but the main concert hall is something else. The acoustic is perfectly adjusted by panels on the ceiling that can be mechanically moved before the concert. It doesn't happen every time, but I saw it once before an open rehearsal and it was very cool. You can also get seats behind the orchestra, which gives you the same view of the maestro as the musicians, again a very different experience. On the Main building you can have dinner or coffee and there is a nice gift shop. The only problem is that it is in a dangerous area of São Paulo, so if you are not used to the city, take a taxi and be safe. P.S. the screen at the picture obviously didn't stay down during the concert.

    Excellent concert hall, great acoustics, wonderful orchestra. Every time I come to Sao Paulo, I try to go to a concert here. Just don't try to walk anywhere in this area, especially after dark.

  • 5/5 Davi G. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the most important concert halls in the world in the middle of the city. There is unfortunately great contrasts in São Paulo which might lead people to opt to go by taxi from Luz Station to the venue, despite the distance (7’ walk).

  • 5/5 Nice “Nislou” C. 11 months ago on Google • 440 reviews
    It is a beautiful place to have both visual delight at seeing the Sala itself as well as auditory experience by listening to the musicians performing. It's food for the soul. One feels privileged to be there. Before the symphonic, people sit have either soup or a glass of wine or browse the pretty gift shop.

  • 5/5 Celso S. 1 month ago on Google • 282 reviews New
    Sala São Paulo is an A-grade, first class concert venue. Room acoustics is excellent. Sitting is sufficiently comfortable and stage view is uniformly good. It is located in downtown São Paulo, but is easily accessible via subway, train (stations are right next doors and directly connected to Sala São Paulo) or car (on-site parking facility available). OSESP, the orchestra, is simply excellent. And their rendition of Carmina Burana is noteworthy.

  • 5/5 Pushpalanka Mankotte K. 4 years ago on Google • 93 reviews
    Great venue with signs of ancient architectures. It has been a renovated train station. Need to be careful on the surrounding though within the building is totally safe and elegant.

  • 5/5 Walter Schmidt S. 6 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    It's a really nice surprise! We had a great experience tonight. The café shop deserves a visit, the banana cake was delicious. Unfortunately I didn't have time enough to explore the gift shop. I will return soon!

  • 4/5 Cheryl M. 1 year ago on Google
    The structure and architecture itself is beautiful. However, goday they had a private event so i could not enter so i saw nothing. 1pm or 430 pm for tours, daily. some days when they have events, they dont do tours. Costs 2.5 reals for discount ticket or 5 for normal. Tour goes on for about 1 hour. Can only buy guided visit tickets in person at the reception. They do tours in english or português. Cant visit without guided tour. You can buy concert tickets here at their kiosk or online. The kiosk i tried to use in English didnt work well. Concerts are sold out very quickly in advance. Workers were helpful.

  • 5/5 Rodrigo C. 1 year ago on Google
    It's beautiful inside. If you stop looking for a great evening with great classical music played by amazing professionals, then this place is a must. The area of downtown Sao Paulo is a bit run down, but the opera house is still incredible.

  • 5/5 Alexandre A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful architecture, perfectly organized and with excellent acoustics. Has on site parking, which is great, considering this is perhaps the unsafest part of town.

  • 5/5 Lucio C. 5 years ago on Google
    Only music can properly define a music place, but I'll try to use the closest words. This place is simply extraordinarily-sounding. Amazing acoustings, ambiance is astounding, the decor of the place will bring you back and situate you in the proper atmosphere the place is supposed to. Highly recommend you to go any day. For any presentation.

  • 5/5 Gabriel K. 1 year ago on Google
    Grand experience. Very good acoustics from all seats. Well organized - almost no bottleneck of people after the show. Very nice coffee/bar area for pre-show drink.

  • 5/5 MARIA P. 4 years ago on Google
    It is an amazing place, the perfect combination between antique and modern. The book shop is also very intrested with a very special offer of books and CDs. The only thing to be aware of, is that the neighborhood is not very safe to walk around, so you should take a taxi or uber to get there. Even it is located near Luz Station, it is not safe to get there walking.
