MUNICH \u2014 Could leaders here finally be moving ahead with a sorely needed new concert hall? Plans and sketches<\/a> released this morning indicate progress on what has been an excruciatingly slow drive to supplement, or really supplant, the small Herkulessaal<\/a> and hideous Gasteig<\/a> venues.<\/p>\n

As presented by chief advocate Konzertsaal M\u00fcnchen e.V., the intention now is to abandon consideration of redeveloping part of Munich\u2019s Museumsinsel<\/a> and instead opt for a more practicable project on land just north of the Hofgarten<\/a>, across the quiet cul-de-sac Galeriestra\u00dfe. Designs show an airy, curvacious white structure with below-ground parking.<\/p>\n

The working name is \u201cNeues Odeon,\u201d a reference to the city\u2019s fabled former Odeon<\/a> concert hall a block away from the site. Galeriestra\u00dfe would be pedestrianized, robbing visitors to the Altstadt of a somewhat hidden and cheap place to park, and the new hall would consume half of the somber and scarcely frequented Finanzgarten<\/a>. That said, this latest location will feel right to many concertgoers here.<\/p>\n
