The building includes both a Concert Hall and an Opera House (auditorium) and a Conference Centre (facilities for conferences).
It was designed by architects Federico Soriano and Dolores Palacios and construction started in 1994. It was inaugurated in February 1999 and contains a variety of spaces, functioning as a conference center, opera house and concert hall. In 2003 it was declared by the International Congress Palace Association as the world's best congress centre. The building also won the Enric Miralles award. Euskalduna organizes and hosts a wide range of activities, including cultural, political, business, academic and social events.[1] The main auditorium in the building has 2.164 seats and can stage performances of theatre, ballet, concerts, and opera.[2] The building is equipped with storage space, dressing rooms, and rehearsal rooms.
It is located on the zone of Abandoibarra, near the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. The building is connected to the rest of the city by tram, Bilbao Metro Lines 1 and 2 and Cercanías Bilbao lines C1 and C2. It is located in the centre of the city and activities like BAO are well-regarded. The ABAO opera season is a major event in this building.[3] It also houses the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra (BOS), founded in 1920.
In 2003, the Euskalduna Conference Centre won the Apex Award for the “World's Best Congress Centre in 2003”, presented by the AIPC (International Association of Convention Centres).
