Taetro Amadeo Roldán, Concert hall and theatre in Vedado, Havana, Cuba
Teatro Amadeo Roldán is a concert hall and performance venue in Vedado with two separate spaces designed for different types of shows. The main hall accommodates large orchestral concerts, while the smaller hall serves chamber music and specialized events.
The building was constructed in 1928 as the Auditorio theatre, designed by architects Miguel Ángel Munc and Nicolás Quintana. After the Cuban Revolution it was named after composer Amadeo Roldán. On 30 June 1977 a fire started by arson destroyed it completely; rebuilding took over twenty years and the venue reopened on 10 April 1999, fully reconstructed.
