Stunning maybe but most halls of that geometry turn out to be acoustic nightmares not to mention with, for instance, an orchestra placed at one end will have member of the ‘front’ audience facing away from the artists.

The two Frank Gehry concert hall I have visited; Miami and Los Angeles, both have near on perfect acoustics. I dont think that Gehry would design a new concert hall with anything less. And bear in mind what was written:
"Check this out: The concert hall is totally modular and can be configured in a variety of ways depending on the artistic requirements of the concert. Every concert will deliver a completely unique spatial experience."

I bow to your experience. I’ve never attended a performance in one of his halls but all those with that kind of geometry I have heard were acoustic nightmares. One in Berlin (forgotten its name) was a disaster.
