The venue was constructed beginning at the end of 1986 and designed by architect Arto Sipinen in the Finnish modernist tradition, drawing on Alvar Aalto influences and using materials such as Lapland Tervola marble, brass, light wood, and glass; Mikkelin Mikaeli Oy has been responsible for building operations since the beginning of 2006. The facility comprises multiple spaces: the 692-seat Martti Talvela -sali main concert hall (520 floor seats + 172 balcony), the 166-seat Kamarimusiikkisali chamber music hall, a Kokoustila meeting room configurable for up to 70 attendees, two ~60 m² practice rooms, and lobby/exhibition areas, all equipped with professional audiovisual systems, climate control, and accessibility features. Tilausravintola Mikaeli, the on-site restaurant and full-service catering operation, is operated exclusively by Serviini Oy with capacity for 260 seated buffet guests, 350 plated dinners, or 650 cocktail reception guests.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) ticket sales for concerts and performances distributed through its own box office, the national lippu.fi platform, R-kiosks, and Graanin K-Citymarket (typical concert tickets €19.60–€69.90, with group discounts for 10+ or 20+ person bookings and student/senior discounts); (2) venue rentals of concert halls, meeting rooms, practice rooms, and lobby areas for corporate clients, seminars, training, and private celebrations, with direct B2B sales coordinated by a dedicated Sales and Event Coordinator; and (3) catering and restaurant services delivered exclusively through Serviini Oy, including meeting packages and packaged event products such as Pikkujoulubileet (Christmas party from €89 early bird) and Cocktailkoulu (cocktail school from €70/person with After Bar partner). The venue hosts approximately 200 events annually with over 50,000 visitors, positioning it as one of the more active cultural venues in the Etelä-Savo region. Customer segments span corporate and business events, concert and cultural event attendees, private celebrations (weddings, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries), and artists/cultural organizations, with notable recurring relationships including Mikkelin Musiikkijuhlat (annual music festival), Veripalvelu (Finnish Red Cross Blood Service), and City of Mikkeli (civic events including the National Veterans' Day main celebration on April 27, 2026).

• Espoo Metro Areena: Larger Espoo-based arena combining concerts, exhibitions, and conferences; broader incumbent footprint with overlapping capabilities to Mikaeli's core event venue operations.
• Hartwall Arena: Helsinki's large-capacity arena for concerts and spectator events; broader incumbent that competes for touring artist bookings that might otherwise route to Mikaeli's main hall.
