The Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia is a awesome building, designed by Santiago Calatrava, dedicated to promoting the performing arts: opera, concerts, etc.
With an extension of 55,000 square meters, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia is one of the finest international venues for theatre, dance, opera and music concerts. From an architectural viewpoint, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía is equally impressive. Spectacular in size and silhouette, coupled with state-of-the-art equipment and an exciting programme, it has found a place among the mythical opera houses of the world. Opera houses like those in London, Sydney, Vienna and Milan.
Measuring over 70 metres in height, the Palau de les Arts is divided into four separate halls, all boasting the latest technological advances conceived to stage all kinds of opera, musical and theatrical performances. The main Hall is at the heart of the building, both formally and structurally speaking. Designed to seat more than 1800, it is used for opera, zarzuela, classical ballet, contemporary dance, symphonic music, musicals and theatre.
