Studio 2: Stadion


Stadion is a large, multi-purpose hall in the centre of Brno which is used for recordings, concerts and other events. It has a wonderful, resonant acoustic and it has been used for many recordings including all of the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra's legendary Janacek recordings for Supraphon.

 

Channel 4 recently used this space to record its film War Oratorio.
