Sala de Festivales Antonio Paoli was conceived as Puerto Rico’s principal stage for large-scale performing arts, created to host concerts, operas, ballet, and major theatrical productions. The hall is named in honor of Antonio Paoli, the world-renowned Puerto Rican tenor who achieved international fame in the early twentieth century and is considered one of the greatest opera singers in history. Its creation reflected the island’s ambition to establish a formal home for classical and grand performances.
Since its opening as part of the Centro de Bellas Artes in Santurce, Sala de Festivales Antonio Paoli has played a central role in Puerto Rico’s cultural life. Over the years, it has welcomed international orchestras, opera companies, dance ensembles, and celebrated soloists, while also serving as a stage for important local productions. The space was designed to support complex staging and acoustics, allowing ambitious artistic works to be presented at the highest level.
More than a performance hall, Sala de Festivales Antonio Paoli represents excellence, discipline, and artistic legacy. Each event adds to a tradition that honors Puerto Rico’s contribution to the global performing arts, making it a place where history, talent, and cultural pride continue to meet on stage.
