5. Wonderful. Who wouldn't love the open, airy, spacious feeling in the auditorium? It's fantastic.

I thought I has seen a colossal pipe organ in the still photos, and there it is, in this video. Wow. I can only imagine what that would sound like as a single instrument in there. Spell-binding.

The concert-goers there are going to be a very lucky bunch. It's such a spectacular creation.

And the blue ceiling. How other-worldly is that?

The interior, looking down at the main hall from the balconies is amazing, too, isn't it? I thought of your comment "They aren't making them like that any more" when I saw it. They most clearly AREN'T.

Well, I hope the Mayor of Buenos Aires sits home and never makes it to the Cultural Center. Hope his flesh bonds to his chair until it becomes part of him and they have to cut him out of it. Someone that spiteful couldn't enjoy real music, anyway.

Can't you see the primary school kids flipping out when their schools take them on their own visits to the auditorium to see it for themselves? They really won't forget that. I didn't forget my trip to the music hall, either, and there wasn't anything spectacular about the place, other than the music. What an introduction for kids in Argentina.
