The project is part of a wider development scheme in the Bouregreg Valley. This theater, with its innovative design and cutting-edge infrastructure will surely be a landmark for the city and the region. The hopes are that by the end of 2014, the area will be completely renewed in terms of residential, commercial, leisure and hospitality facilities. Dedicated land area of 47,000 sq m, the program will include three theater spaces, indoor spaces consisting of 2,050-seat and a 520-seat, and a fully-equipped outdoor amphitheater with a capacity of 7,000 people.
