AÑO: 2007
The majestic Alcireño amphitheater saw the light of day on September 21, 1921, with a disbursement of 75.000 pesetas, thus marking a milestone in local history. Just three years later, an adjacent summer cinema was erected in the emblematic Plaza de l'Alborxi. The first image shows us the original theater, which with its modernist style façade, anticipated the arrival of the Fallas festivities. Miguel Zorita, a visionary businessman rooted in the town, served as its first manager. Subsequently, the architect Juan Guardiola took over the reins, and in 1958, to expand the capacity of the venue, he built a brand new amphitheatre, currently recognized as 'preference'.
In 1965, after a long period of dedication, Guardiola's heirs ceded the operation of his four cinematographic venues in the city. After a period of closure, the year 1980 contemplated an ambitious project to renovate the theater, promoted by the City Council, which invested forty million pesetas for its realization. Finally, on May 25, 1982, the theater reopened its doors in a reopening ceremony.
Throughout its history, the building was the victim of several fires, the most devastating being the one that occurred in 1978, which resulted in the total collapse of its roof. Another episode of fire, in January 2004, led to the temporary suspension of its operation.
DRAFT:
Adequacy in the slope of the stalls.
To improve the visibility of the last rows of the seating area, this area will be divided into two.
The first, from row 1 to row 14, will maintain the current layout and slope. the second zone
It will consist of another 7 rows, which, starting from the height marked by the current slope, will rise towards the
back of room 26cm each row, rising, therefore, a total of 1m.
Ceiling reflectors.
A curved reflector will be placed over the stage mouth (stage mouth panel) to
provide a better reflection of the energy emitted on the stage onto the public area and improve
the clarity index.
For the maintenance and cleaning of this panel, two motorized cuts will be installed on the
false ceiling of the room, which will allow its vertical movement.
Room side reflectors.
To achieve lateral reflections and give the room the necessary spatial impression in
musical auditions, 10 curved panels will be placed, 5 on each side of the room.
Stage acoustic shell.
