拉脱维亚全国歌舞庆典是世界上最大的合唱活动之一，它深深扎根于波罗的海当地文化，并对民族认同的发展负有责任。拉脱维亚歌舞庆典因其独特的阿卡贝拉演唱而被列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录，它汇集了来自拉脱维亚全国各地多达2万名歌手的合唱团。
Latvian Nationwide Song and Dance Celebration are one of the largest choral events in the world which are deeply rooted in local Baltic culture and are responsible for the development of national identity. Latvian Song and Dance Celebration have been included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity for its unique acapella singing which brings together a choir of up to 20 000 singers from all over Latvia.
森林声学创造了均匀而宽敞的回声，使其成为最适合大规模合唱的环境之一。屋顶结构被设计成主要的声学元素，独立的柱子生长在一起，形成一个空间上稳定的框架。结构中可调节的声学板将声音引导到所需的方向。与森林的空间类比极大地改善了圆形剧场的声学参数，并为合唱团磨练出自然和特殊的声音。当地歌手和指挥家将其描述为一种独特的银色声音。
Forest acoustics creates even and spacious echoes making it one of the most suitable environments for large-scale choral singing. The roof structure is designed as the leading acoustic element where separate columns grow together and form a spatially stable framework. Adjustable acoustic panels in the structure direct sound in the desired direction. The spatial analogy with the forest significantly improves the acoustic parameters of the amphitheater and hones a natural and specific sound for a choir. Local singers and conductors have described it as a unique silver sound.
露天舞台的容量已增加到合唱团护身板上的20000名歌手和观众席上的30000个座位。长椅可以移动，以便为7万名站立观众提供安置。该场馆为各种类型的表演和活动提供了适应性空间–阿卡贝拉演唱、摇滚流行音乐会、体育和文化活动。在合唱团护民官下的室内空间可作为会议、音乐会、展览厅和办公室。该场馆每天开放，作为文化和休闲的中心。
The capacity of the Open-Air Stage has been increased up to 20 000 singers on choir tribune and 30 000 seats in the audience field.

The venue provides adaptable space for various types of performances and events – acapella singing, rock-pop concerts, sports, and cultural events. Indoor spaces under the chorist tribune function as conference, concert, and exhibitions halls and offices. The venue is open daily as a center for culture and leisure.
露天舞台重新利用了邻近的现有森林道路和休闲区的基础设施。人工森林和谐地躺在天然森林的景观中–这是波罗的海沿岸的典型景观。它简单而民主的材料强调了北方的审美传统，平静的曲线体量与周围的沙丘产生了共鸣。
Open-Air Stage reuses adjacent infrastructure of existing forest roads and recreational areas. Artificial forest lays harmonically in the landscape of a natural forest – a typical landscape of the Baltic coast. Its simple and democratic materials emphasize Northern aesthetic tradition and the calm curved volumes resonate with the dunes around it.
