Why go
The Palau gives the City of Arts and Sciences a soaring performance landmark and a dedicated home for opera, orchestral music and other events. Its projecting shell encloses several differently scaled halls, so the exterior suggests one vast object while the interior supports distinct kinds of production.
What to look for
- A sweeping outer shell projects above terraces and surrounding water.
- The main opera auditorium is joined by smaller halls for chamber music and other events.
- The building forms the western performance anchor of the larger cultural complex.
Useful to know
- Check the performance or visit program before expecting to enter the halls.
- Walk around both long sides to compare the projecting shell with the lower terraces beneath it.
