However, the development of the project postponed that large room and left it for a second stage that, as the years went by, would not arrive. Until now. Because President Michelle Bachelet confirmed this morning the start of construction of the theater, which will be located in the sector where the convention center was previously located, destroyed by a fire in 2006.
The President did not specify dates, but she did confirm that the works will begin during her term in office. "Almost a week after taking office as President, let me tell you that we are going to finish what we started. We are going to begin in this government the construction of the second stage of the project, with a large theater for two thousand people, which this city and the country so desperately need. We are still going to work on the theaters and regional centers, but also in this city we need something of this quality and size. We are going to give this space its definitive form," she said in the same GAM.
