Valencia. More than 5,000 people enjoyed the activities programmed in 'Nit a Les Arts', the open house event held at the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía on the night of June 29-30.
The Valencian arts center offered six technical-artistic tours in which groups of 240 people witnessed firsthand the operation of the complex machinery of the Main Hall of the building during an operatic performance, as well as learning about the stage and technological equipment of one of the most modern stages in Europe.
The demonstration was accompanied by performances from artists of the Centre de Perfeccionament Plácido Domingo, who offered arias and duets from some of the most popular works in the operatic repertoire. All six performances were completely sold out.
Likewise, the lobby of the Main Hall hosted an exhibition of costumes from two of the most successful productions staged by the Palau de les Arts: Verdi's Otello and Wagner's Parsifal .
From 8:30 p.m. until 2:00 a.m., visitors were able to freely access the terraces and open spaces of the Calatrava building, which featured performances by musicians from the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana and soloists from Berklee College of Music with a varied repertoire made up of works by classical and contemporary authors, as well as a vision of different world music.
