| Open Air Theater, Cultural Complex: |
The
Open Air Theatre is an extension of the Alhamra. The Ferozepur Road
location was selected to take the pressure away from an overly congested
Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azam and to create a performing arts facility
for the newly developed areas of Lahore i.e. Model Town, Faisal
Town, Garden Town, Johar Town, Township, Gulberg and Defence, etc.
The theatre sits in the midst of large green areas, at a stone’s throw from Lahore’s famous willow lined canal. Its imposing brick façade set with local regional features such as handmade Multani tiles is an interesting blend of the contemporary and the traditional classicism of the Roman coliseum. The multi-purpose theatre is designed to cater for drama, Music, cultural melas and large scale concerts. |
