Auditorium de Palma, Concert hall and convention center in Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Auditorium de Palma is a performance venue at Passeig Marítim 18, opened in 1969. Its main space, the Sala Magna, seats 1,800 and has a pit for 90 musicians plus an electronically operated metal fly tower with two bridges. A smaller Sala Mozart hosts other productions. Architect Luis Feduchi Ruiz designed the 11,000 m² building on a sloping site between the seafront and the rear.
Businessman Marc Ferragut i Fluxà financed the building himself after Palma's city council and public institutions declined, inspired by a concert at London's Royal Festival Hall. Works began in 1967 and lasted two years, with architect Luis Feduchi Ruiz handling the large slope between the front and rear façades. It opened on 3 September 1969 with the Berlin Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan.
The Sala Magna and Sala Mozart take their names from the venue's own halls, and the smaller hall honours Mozart. Since 1996 the Mallorcan company Diabéticas Aceleradas has premiered all its shows here, and the building also housed Mallorca's first drama school, founded in 1970 under the Argentine Trino Trives.
The Auditorium de Palma stands at Passeig Marítim 18, on the seafront promenade. The site slopes steeply between the front and rear façades, and architect Luis Feduchi Ruiz resolved this with a stepped, geometric structure. The main Sala Magna covers 800 of the building's 11,000 m² and has an orchestra pit for 90 musicians.
