Good acoustics involves careful design of the auditorium, with attention to proper sound reflection and absorbing characteristics at various points in the hall. In a hall with good acoustics, a properly trained person without a microphone can make himself heard and understood throughout the hall.
Because getting good acoustics is as much an art as a science in architectural design, sometimes getting good acoustics is more a matter of luck, especially in the older halls.
To off-set poor acoustics, or failure to attempt any sort of acoustical design in newer halls, heavy use of amplification and microphones is used. Sometimes it helps, but it is not usually a complete substitute for a hall with good acoustics.

Who designs concert halls?
Architects are the primary designers of concert halls. They lead a team of experts who advise on the unique design challenges associated with concert halls, including but not limited to structure, rigging, safety, comfort, and acoustics. The functional requirements of a concert hall are not isolated design problems and therefore need to be fully integrated into the design process. For instance, decisions about room geometry and materials heavily influence both structure and acoustics. Cooperation of specialties, including involvement of clients and resident orchestras, is of critical importance. Very few people have careers strictly centered on the design of concert halls. Architects work on a wide variety of project types and most never work on a single hall, though there are a few who are known as designers for performing arts spaces. Consultants in acoustics and theater often work on many concert hall projects, but the scope of their design contribution is limited to their specialty. People interested in careers involving concert hall design can approach from many directions, including architecture, engineering, physics, music, and audio. Graduate degrees that focus on architectural acoustics are increasingly common, but at this time are still the exception.

What are the 10 best concert venues in the world?
I like Covent Garden. But it's hard to determine a single greatest opera house when there are so many factors - ambiance, acoustics, aesthetics, etc. I'd have to point to perhaps the Teatro ala Scala in Milano, the Met Opera in New York City, or the Vienna State Opera House as contenders for the best. However, if you'd like to view a bunch of amazing opera houses (and concert halls), Apparently, there is an iPad application called WorldVenues. The app plots opera houses on maps but also showcases videos from inside each venue, so you can get a sense of what it's like inside. There's also more information in each profile to explain why it's "one of the best."
