Just listening to the balloon pop in the Hagia Sophia was amazing to hear. Are there any other structures with similar acoustics that still holds performances? Also there's a YouTube playlist of the recording they mention at the end, the Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia: ▶ this video
Somewhat related, a while back Cappella Romana, a vocal ensemble choir with some researchers had tried to recreate the sounds of Hagia Sophia. They mapped the interior to model the reverberations properly. link ( link ) Example of their performance: ▶ this video
There's a singing group from Portland that used impulse-response recordings from Hagia Sophia to recreate old church music as it would have sounded back when it was controlled by the Eastern Orthodox church. link ▶ this video
