The Theatre of Artà opened the first of June of 2001. It's one of the most important cultural infrastructures of town and it's quite popular around the island. This new floor plan building designed by architect Mateu Carrió is located on the same piece of land as na Batlessa, a building donated to the town hall by Cristòfol Ferrer Pons in 1984. The building is divided into three main spaces: a theatre hall with capacity for 460 spectators acoustically designed by Dr. Higini Arau; a second multifunctional hall with capacity for 70 persons with an assembly room beside; and finally, an entrance hall where we find the booking office and the coffee shop. Since its opening, the Theatre of Artà has established itself as a cultural reference in Mallorca gathering together an annual average of 30,000 spectators. The theatre hosts two outstanding events such as the Classical Music Festival Antoni Lliteres and the multidisciplinary Cool Days Festival, among others.
