Answer

Can you understand the text in Beethoven's Ninth clearly at the Auditorium in Mallorca?

Beethoven's Ninth depends heavily on clear diction, because the words carry part of the musical meaning. At the Auditorium in Palma, acoustic detail can make the text easier to notice, but it can also expose unclear pronunciation. If clarity matters to you, a performance with strong choral preparation and careful solo singing makes a noticeable difference.
