Tour of the National Theatre, 9 July 05
Khmer Architecture Tours
Saturday 9 July 05:
a morning tour of the Preah Suramarit National Theatre and the Front du Bassac
The National Theatre building, designed by Vann Molyvann and owned by the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, is still partly in use despite extensive fire damage to the auditorium. The foyer, which is a remarkable play of light and geometry, is now a rehearsal space for the dancers and musicians who perform around the world. The auditorium, which would have seated over 1,000, was remarkable for its flexibility and its removeable rear wall. The future of the building is uncertain.
The tour will first take a short walk around the area known as the Front du Bassac, planned in the 1960s to be a 'civic and cultural centre', and look briefly at Van Molyvann's White and Grey Buildings, before visiting the theatre.
The tour will start at 9.00am and end around 11.00am. Children over 12 are welcome. Cost is $1 Cambodians, $5 Others.
Booking is essential, as places are limited.
Please email us to request a place and we will send you details of where we start.
We ask that you provide your
name and
mobile telephone number. Thanks.
