Opening of Lugano Arte e Cultura
The LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura opens its doors on September 12. The center for visual arts, music and stage arts houses, among other things, a theater hall with 1000 seats and the Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana.
The LAC's concert and theater hall is clad entirely in wood. Its stage consists of an acoustic shell with modular sliding elements. In addition to the hall, the LAC also houses the Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana, which brings together the Museo Cantonale d'Arte and the Museo d'Arte della città di Lugano.
The LAC will be inaugurated in September with three renditions of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony by the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana and the RSI Choir under the direction of Vladimir Ashkenazy, as well as nine performances of "La Verità" by Compagnia Finzi Pasca.
The 2500 square meter museum houses a permanent collection and a modular space over two floors for temporary exhibitions. It brings together works from all over the world. The opening exhibition "Orizzonte Nord-Sud" features 150 exhibits - including works by Giacometti, Segantini, Klee and Turner.
