Performing Arts Centre CURVE
Part of the transformation of Leicester's City
centre that is currently underway, is the building of the new Performing
Arts Centre. Work has already started on the site in Rutland Street.
Although the centre will probably not open to the
public before 2008, this is already creating considerable excitement.
The new building has been designed by internationally renowned architect Rafael
Vinoly.
Two auditoria situated either side of the stage
area will accommodate audiences of 350 to 750 people.
The stage has been placed in the centre of the building at street level. People
will be able to look in from outside the building to see sets being built and
other backstage activities.
The Centre is the key project in the regeneration
of the Leicester Cultural Quarter. Read more about this
