Auditorio Nacional, Concert and multi-purpose hall in Chapultepec, Mexico.
Auditorio Nacional is a concert hall in Chapultepec Park that hosts thousands of spectators and offers multiple levels, a tall stage, and technical equipment for live performances. The main hall seats nearly ten thousand people and is equipped with modern sound and lighting systems that support different event formats.
The complex opened in 1952 and originally served as a sports hall for volleyball and basketball at the Central American games two years later. Over time its use shifted from sports to concerts and other cultural events.
The place takes its name from its role as a house for large events and has grown into the country's leading concert venue over time. Visitors experience performances by international artists and see audiences from across the city gather to enjoy music, theater, and dance together.
The hall sits on Paseo de la Reforma and is easy to reach by public transport. Guided tours run regularly and allow visitors a look behind the scenes of the event operations.
The hall houses the largest pipe organ in Latin America, an instrument with thousands of pipes that is played on special occasions. In 2007 the venue received an award from Billboard as best concert location in its size category.
