Auditorio de Galicia, Arts centre in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

The Auditorio de Galicia is a cultural building in Santiago de Compostela designed by Julio Cano Lasso and Diego Cano Pintos and opened on 20 October 1989. It has four rooms: the Sala Ángel Brage, the main hall seating 1,002 for theatre, ballet, opera, symphonic concerts and congresses; the Sala Mozart, seating 260 and usable at the same time as the other rooms; the Sala Isaac Díaz Pardo, a 1,000 m² irregular exhibition space; and the Sala Circular, the smallest, seating 50 for talks and press conferences.

The building was designed and opened in the late 1980s as part of Santiago de Compostela's cultural expansion during that period. It became a major venue for performing arts, hosting the region's leading orchestra within a few years of its opening.

Since 1996 the building has been the permanent seat of the Real Filharmonía de Galicia. The Sala Mozart doubles as the rehearsal room of the Banda Municipal de Santiago and often hosts concerts by students of the Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Santiago de Compostela. The four halls are named after the actor Ángel Brage, Mozart, the painter and ceramicist Isaac Díaz Pardo, and the circular shape of the smallest room.

The four halls are separate, so events can run at the same time: the 1,002-seat Sala Ángel Brage, the 260-seat Sala Mozart, the 1,000 m² irregular-shaped Sala Isaac Díaz Pardo for exhibitions, and the 50-person Sala Circular for talks and press conferences. Check which hall your event uses before setting out, since each has its own entrance and capacity.

The Auditorio de Galicia was built under Spain's national auditorium programme, funded jointly by the Ministry of Culture, the Xunta de Galicia and the city council, with private entities also contributing. Its four rooms differ sharply in scale: the Sala Ángel Brage seats 1,002, the Sala Mozart 260, the Sala Isaac Díaz Pardo is a 1,000 m² irregular exhibition space, and the Sala Circular holds just 50 people.
