Challenges and solutions

The main auditorium, Ereaga Hall, has 782 seats on two floors. This space accommodates medium and large format programming: plays, classical music and opera, among others. The armchair chosen to equip this elegant auditorium has been the Lyon armchair. Conceived to dress the Lyon Opera House, this armchair has excellent acoustic characteristics that make it a safe bet for a space like this where sound becomes one of the main protagonists.

The Arrigunaga room, the most versatile space in Muxikebarri, has been designed to host small-format activities, mainly musicals, contemporary music shows, shows addressed at a youth and children audience, and film screenings. This space has been fitted with a retractable platform with 266 seats that allows, when the stands are retracted, to create a totally open space with a capacity for up to 769 standing people. The installed tribune system is one of the most sophisticated on the market and with it the maximum optimization of space is achieved, leaving the tribune completely hidden under the floor once it has been folded, thus disappearing all the seats automatically in a matter of minutes.

On the other hand, the Areeta room, with 218 installed seats of the Lyon model, is focused on a more didactic use, offering training in music and film programming.

Lastly, the Gorrondatxe hall has been equipped with the Venus chair, a light and elegant model that offers optimal comfort to the audience and can be stacked in order to adapt the space to the necessary layout and  capacity in each situation. This is the ideal space to hold conferences and seminars.
