Tenerife Auditorium
The Tenerife Auditorium, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, is a building of striking sculptural impact. Set within an unrivalled landscape, it offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy a great work of architecture alongside other great works of nature, such as the sea and the mountain range formed by the ancient Anaga massif.
In schematic terms, the building is made up of successive platforms from which the large curved volume of the Symphony Hall rises, all enveloped by the impressive cantilevered wing which, suspended at a height of around 50 metres, gives a sense of movement and flexibility, as though it were a living being.
In addition to its evocative architectural spaces and structures, the Tenerife Auditorium offers a varied programme, which can be consulted directly via its official website, made up of different series such as Tenerife Danza, Jazz Atlántico, Músicas del Mundo, Entre Amigos and Grandes Intérpretes, complemented further by the season of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, the Opera season and the Canary Islands Music Festival.
To carry out this comprehensive programme, the Auditorium has a varied range of spaces and halls at its disposal, including the Symphony Hall, with a capacity of 1,658 seats, and the Chamber Hall, with 428 seats, alongside smaller, multi-purpose facilities such as rehearsal rooms, meeting rooms, dance studios and exhibition spaces, amongst others.
The striking white finish, achieved through concrete and white trencadís (broken tile mosaic), is highly visually appealing. The same is true of the interior, which features open, light-filled spaces with modern, striking curved forms that impress with the sheer richness of their outlines and structural complexity.
