The Teresa Carreño Cultural Complex (''Complejo Cultural Teresa Carreño''), also known as Teresa Carreño Theater (''Teatro Teresa Carreño''), is the most important theatre of Caracas and Venezuela, where performances include symphonic and popular concerts, opera, ballet and plays. It is the second largest theater in South America after the Teatro Colón of Buenos Aires. The theatre was built on a lot and named after the Venezuelan pianist Teresa Carreño. It is located in the cultural district of the city: Bellas Artes. It houses two concert halls: the ''José Félix Ribas'' and the ''Ríos Reyna'' (named after Pedro Antonio Ríos Reyna). The following are resident performing arts groups: * Teresa Carreño Opera Choir * Teresa Carreño Ballet, directed up to 2002 by choreographer Vicente Nebrada * National Philarmonic Orchestra of Venezuela. Its spaces are also shared by the National Theater Company of Venezuela and the Monte Ávila Editores bookstore (Librerías del Sur). The artistic director of the theater is the Venezuelan conductor Rodolfo Saglimbeni. == History == In the 1970s, Pedro Antonio Ríos Reyna presented a plan to build a theatre to serve as the residence of the Venezuela Symphony Orchestra. The Simón Bolivar Center expanded the project so that the center would serve multiple uses. The funds for construction were granted in September 1970, and the architects were Tomás Lugo, Jesús Sandoval, and Dietrich Kunckel. The theatre was inaugurated in two phases: the ''José Félix Ribas Hall'' in February 1976, followed by the ''Ríos Reyna Hall'' and the rest of the complex on 19 April 1983. The center facilities have been expanded with two exhibition halls, one dedicated to the pianist Teresa Carreño and another one to the composer Reynaldo Hahn. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teresa Carreño Cultural Complex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
