Agorwyd y neuadd yn 1983, ac mae’n un o'r adeiladau ieuengaf i gael eu cynnig i'w rhestru yng Nghymru.  Fe’i hadeiladwyd rhwng 1978 a 1982 ac roedd yn un o'r neuaddau cyngerdd cyntaf ar raddfa fawr i gael eu hadeiladu y tu allan i Lundain ers yr Ail Ryfel Byd.  Roedd yn gynllun arloesol ar gyfer neuadd gyngerdd, gyda'i siâp polygonaidd a'i seddi wedi'u trefnu mewn terasau o amgylch y llwyfan yn cyfrannu at ei phriodweddau acwstig o fri rhyngwladol.
The hall, which opened in 1983, is one of the youngest buildings to be proposed for listing in Wales. It was built between 1978 and 1982 and was one of the first large scale concert halls to be built outside London since the Second World War. It was a pioneering design for a concert hall, with its polygonal shape and seating arranged in terraces around the stage contributing to its internationally renowned acoustic properties.
