Casa da Música has 10 rehearsal rooms of various sizes. Equipped with excellent technical and acoustic conditions, they are perfect for meetings, presentations, and workshops.

REHEARSAL ROOM 1
An interior space located on floor -2, which is medium-sized and with impeccable acoustics. Its features and equipment offer a wide variety of events such as seminars, workshops, meetings, and presentations. It can accommodate groups of 20 to 100 people and is equipped with its own control room, which can function as a recording studio. It is a versatile, multifunctional room with variable layout options to make your event unique.

Located next to the reception/ticket office, this is the first functional space of the building after the main entrance offering an extraordinarily high-ceiling foyer. Situated immediately below the heart of music—the Suggia Hall—this space is very bright and near direct access to the café, making it ideal for coffee breaks during your event. It is ready to host small to medium-sized groups and includes the iconic entrance of Casa da Música and its surroundings.

Due to their central location, Bars 1 and 2 are perfect spaces for reception and public support events. Different types of lighting allow for the personalization of each event, whether it is a cocktail party, a coffee break, or a standing lunch.

Situated on the top floor of Casa da Música, the restaurant is connected to the only existing outdoor terrace, offering a fabulous view of the Boavista gardens and a stunning panoramic view of Porto. With a spacious room and a soft chromatic ambience, it is suitable for corporate or private events, for large or small groups.

With a futuristic look, featuring undulating glass and high ceilings, the Foyers are located at the ends of the Suggia Hall, opening up to the city through their tall transparent walls. They provide cozy spaces suitable for medium-sized events such as exhibitions, presentations, cocktails, or installations.

The VIP Room is an iconic space at Casa da Música, adorned with beautiful tiles inspired by Portuguese and Dutch traditions. Offering a phenomenal view over the city of Porto, it is ideal for small group activities, installations, press conferences, receptions, cocktails, and ceremonial dinners.

With unique finishes and visually appealing features, the Cybermusic space is covered in aqua-green pyramid-shaped panels made of rubber and polyurethane foam on one side, and exposed concrete on the other, creating a distinctive dual acoustic effect. It boasts a large window allowing natural light to flood in, making it a bright and versatile space, which is suitable for meetings, concerts, lectures, and other events.

The Café is the meeting point for all those seeking to socialize and listen to good music, and who enjoy engaging with the Casa and the musicians who pass through here. The Café’s stage provides a venue for emerging musicians or those exploring lesser-known areas of music, making it a place to become acquainted with musical projects that may shape the future of music.
The Café also provides a place for the public to interact with their favourite artists, often finding them throughout their stay at Casa da Música during their rehearsals and concerts.

The Café offers an attractive cafeteria and bar service, with affordable prices and the comfort of any meal throughout the day.

The East and West Foyers, both with a towering ceiling height (about 17 meters), are a crucial space for the natural light process in the Sala Suggia, receiving the full incidence of sunlight through large windows with wavy glass panels that Rem Koolhaas had used in other projects, but never in such an ambitious way. 

Floor 4 

Immediately following the main entrance, visitors access the first functional space of the building, which includes the Ticket Office, Reception, Shop, and Cloakroom, and pass directly underneath the heart of the Casa, the Suggia Hall. In the Lobby, visitors have the opportunity to observe music rehearsals through the perforated aluminium on the wall opposite the counter, which leads them to understand one of the most symbolic objectives of the building, which is to involve the visitor in the musical process preceding any public presentation. On the other side, in six small rehearsal rooms, visible to passers-by, it is possible to observe soloists and small ensembles.
