In relationship to Calatrava's previous work, the Tenerife
Opera House sees both an increase in scale and variety of
program for the architect who started with small commissions
and bridges as his forte. With his architectural style suited
to long spans and repetition it's not surprise that he has
done train stations and airports, but this building is his
first concert hall. Its design definitely says, "Calatrava"
though the resemblance to skeletal forms of his previous work
is less evident. Instead the graceful form is something unique
entirely, resembling a wing but not necessarily modeled upon
one.
