A symphonic hall is a concert venue designated especially for orchestral music and classical performances. They are generally used for a variety of different scales of performance, from solo recitals to full-scale symphonies. They may also accommodate operas or non-classical performances, but they are not designed for major opera productions requiring a large backstage area, and they generally have special acoustics intended for live performances of classical music.

The venue is intended especially for classical and orchestral performance. Its program can range from a solo recital to a full symphony orchestra.

Other music and some opera performances can be accommodated. A hall designed for major staged opera productions has the separate opera house meaning.
