The Victoria Hall is a concert hall in Geneva, Switzerland. History The Victoria Hall was built in 1891–1894 by the architect John Camoletti and financed by the British consul, Daniel Fitzgerald Packenham Barton, who dedicated it to Queen Victoria and gifted it to the City of Geneva in 1904. On 16 September 1984, the building was partly destroyed by a fire. The decorative paintings by Ernest Biélier were destroyed. It was rebuilt, and the paintings were replaced by a contemporary work by Dominique Appia. Description The main entrance is facing east. The auditorium has three layers: The parterre and two layers of balconies. A monumental pipe organ occupies the back of the stage. The original pipe organ was destroyed during the 1984-fire and rebuilt in 1993. The hall is mainly used for classical music concerts, but it also hosts performers in song, jazz and world music.
