Designed by ALA Architects, the Kilden Performing Arts Centre is still under construction in Kristiansand, Norway. The completion of the £117 million project is expected to happen in 2011. And having a gross floor area of 16,000 m2, this art center is built to accommodate Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra, Opera South and a number of local theatre groups.
Kilden will gather together all the city’s institutions of performing arts. Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra will have at its disposal a concert hall designed to accommodate 1200 attendees. Agder Theater, a regional group, will have a theater with a capacity of 700, excellent acoustics and advanced equipment with a stage tower.
