Munich, Germany – Siemens has announced that it will be utilizing a digital twin to simulate acoustics for the first time in the renowned Großes Festspielhaus in Bayreuth, Germany. This innovative approach will help optimize the acoustics of the historic theater, ensuring a world-class listening experience for audiences.

The digital twin, a virtual replica of the Großes Festspielhaus, will be used to model sound propagation and reflection within the theater. By simulating various acoustic scenarios, engineers can identify potential issues and make targeted adjustments to the physical space. This will help to create a more balanced and immersive acoustic environment for performances.

The use of a digital twin is a significant departure from traditional acoustic design methods, which often rely on physical measurements and modeling techniques. The digital twin offers several advantages, including the ability to test different design options quickly and efficiently, without the need for costly physical modifications.

The project is part of Siemens’ ongoing commitment to using digital technologies to improve the performance of buildings and infrastructure. By leveraging the power of digital twins, Siemens is able to provide innovative solutions that enhance the user experience and contribute to sustainable development.

The implementation of the digital twin for acoustic simulation in the Großes Festspielhaus is expected to set a new standard for acoustic design in historic theaters. The project will demonstrate the potential of digital technologies to revolutionize the way we design and optimize performance spaces.
