In between the sea and the mountain, this project constitutes a great landmark at the center of the plain of Barra da Tijuca. A public terrace heightened to 10 meters and overhanging a tropical garden, enables the visitors to embrace the great landscape before reaching the various halls. The main concert hall conveys the same spirit as those in Paris and in Luxembourg. The scenic design rediscovers the features of the Elizabethan theater, the musicians being surrounded by the audience.
