Lonely Planet review for Felix Meritis Building

The Felix Meritis building was built in 1787 for the Felix Meritis organisation (Latin for ‘Happiness through Achievement’), a society of wealthy residents who promoted the ideals of the Enlightenment through science, arts and commerce. Composers such as Brahms, Grieg and Saint-Saëns performed in its oval concert hall, and it’s still a theatre today.
