Anfiteatro de San Pedro de la Paz, Open-air amphitheater in San Pedro de la Paz, Chile.
Anfiteatro de San Pedro de la Paz is a semicircular open-air amphitheater with a seating capacity of 3,000, located in Villa San Pedro behind Colegio Concepción and at the foot of the hills near Laguna Grande. It has tiered seating and a stage area for cultural events.
The amphitheater was built in the early 2000s on the orders of the Municipality of San Pedro de la Paz, at the end of the first term of its first mayor, Jaime Soto, with funding shared by the Regional Government led by intendant Jaime Tohá. A plaque dates its inauguration to 10 September 2000. It initially had no seats, and the public sat on the hillside; a 2005 project funded by the Regional Government installed 692 seats, and later remodeling increased capacity further.
The amphitheater is run by the Corporación Cultural de San Pedro de la Paz, which since 2008 also operates a covered cultural center for paid events and art workshops. Free open-air events are normally financed by the Municipality of San Pedro de la Paz.
The venue is accessible free of charge and hosts community events, concerts, and theater productions throughout the year. Before visiting, check what performances are scheduled, as the amphitheater operates primarily for organized events rather than casual visits.
A plaque at the amphitheater dates its inauguration to 10 September 2000, when Jaime Soto was finishing his first term as the commune's first mayor and Jaime Tohá headed the regional government that co-funded the work. The 2005 remodelling installed 692 seats.
