Victoria Hall in Geneva, Switzerland, is a renowned concert venue with a rich history. Inaugurated in 1894, it was originally designed as a multi-purpose hall but quickly became established as a premier location for musical performances. The hall is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics, largely attributed to its horseshoe-shaped design and wooden construction. Throughout its existence, Victoria Hall has hosted numerous internationally acclaimed orchestras, conductors and soloists.

It has been the home of the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande since 1938 and regularly features performances spanning classical music, jazz, and other genres. The building underwent significant renovations in the early 2000s to modernize facilities while preserving its historical character and acoustic properties.
