The core of the opera house is for technical faciltities like the cenery module and lifting mechanisms for the stage and orchestra pit. The fully air conditioned auditorium, which can seat up to 800 people, is seated within a acousted shaped shell. a smaller auditorium for music concerts holds 400 people. Another open-air auditorium, partialy covered by the shell and roof structures, can seat 2000 people. Calatrava is a 59 year old man from Spain with an amazing mind. He has a wierd thing were he always includes nature in his buildings and sculptures. I picked Calatrava because his buildings catch the eye and draw you in with awe.
