 Vanguard Architecture |
Paseo de la Alameda, 30 Valencia 46023 Spain +34 96 337 5020 http://www.palauvalencia.com |
The Palacio de la Musica is situated in the old river bed of the Turia. It was constructed in 1987 and is one of the banner buildings of modern Valencia, within what's known as the vanguard architecture movement in the city. One of its most distinguising features is the glass enclosure that looks out on the gardens in the Turia. From here you can watch the fountains that have been designed to spout to the beat of the music heard from the Palau throughout the garden. The building was built specifically to promote culture and that's exactly what it has done. Concerts, operas, ballets, musicals, conferences, presentations, and all sorts of other educational activities have been and continue to be held inside and outside the building.

 Large private theater |
San Vicente Mártir, 44 Valencia 46002 Spain +34 96 351 7315 |
The private Olympia theater is owned by the Fayos family, and it has just celebrated its 80th anniversary. The family has always taken great care to offer a wide variety of spectacles that range from the most traditional to the most modern (musicals, operas, and classical theater productions). With these principles and the quality of the theater itself, the family manages to attract a varied audience who all enjoy this great theater's roominess and modern comforts. The entrance fee and schedule change according to the shows. Review © 2007, Wcities |
