Before the official opening of Frank Gehry's much anticipated
Walt
Disney Concert Hall in October, Santiago
Calatrava's Tenerife
Opera House in Santa Cruz, Tenerife will open to the public.
With its inauguration on September 27, the Opera House will
bring attention both to the city of Santa Cruz and the Canary
Islands, a grouping of seven islands west of Morocco. An autonomous
region of Spain, the islands are known more for its nightlife
and beaches than for cultural amenities, though surely this
building is an attempt to infuse the islands with both high
culture and world-class architecture.
