Bord Gáis Energy Theatre

Dublin


Forget the uninviting sponsored name: Daniel Libeskind's masterful design is a three-tiered, 2100-capacity auditorium where you're as likely to be entertained by the Bolshoi or a touring state opera as you are to see Dirty Dancing or Barbra Streisand. It's a magnificent venue – designed for classical, paid for by the classics.
