Architect Ricard Boffil designed this, the largest theatre in Barcelona, and it was completed in 1997. The aim was to create a permanent public theatre with a resident company. Nowadays, you can come and see performances by prestigious foreign and national companies, productions by the resident company and collaborations between resident and visiting companies. In addition, you can attend regular play-reading sessions. The institution organizes competitions and awards grants to new and up-and-coming playwrights to assist their development. There are three auditoria equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The largest seats 479 spectators. The film library is open to the public and there's a spacious restaurant, open from 7pm until two hours after the last performance. It's attractively situated beside the L' Auditori.
