Multipurpose Hall with Gala Venue® Rotation System

An outstanding example of Art Nouveau architecture, the venue—now restored to its former glory—is one of Spain’s most technologically advanced multipurpose spaces.

It uses the Gala Venue® audience transformation system to support events for the performing arts, musical presentations, as well as artistic and educational activities.

More than a century after opening in 1902, and following 20 years of decline, the Teatro Campos Elíseos in Bilbao, Spain, reopened on 11 March 2010. The theatre was originally designed by local architect Alfredo Acebal, in collaboration with French Basque designer Jean Baptiste Darroquy, who created the richly ornamented Art Nouveau façade, defined by organically inspired curvilinear forms. The theatre is recognized by the Basque regional government as “a heritage building of high cultural significance.”
