Palacio de Bellas Artes
Mexico City, Mexico
Lorena Alcaraz Minor
The 1,300-seat main hall hadn’t seen any significant upgrades since it opened in 1934. As one of the most important cultural centers in Mexico City, this renovation overhauled the theatrical equipment, acoustics, and audience sightlines to current standards. The renovated hall can easily accommodate modern touring productions and demanding technical requirements.
