I attended a private concert by Air inside the Cúpula Atlántica, a ~200-person dome at Monte de San Pedro.

The park is one of my favorite places in A Coruña. Even though I’ve been there multiple times, I had never been inside the dome. As far as I remember, it was abandoned and not in use. Zara renovated this public space to celebrate its 50th anniversary, and it has been organizing a number of public events.

Once we reached the dome’s surroundings, we were surprised by an enveloping sound experience designed by Esmeralda Devlin. As we walked the spiral path, the voice of a middle-aged woman emerged. She recited poems related to the sea that surrounded us.

The acoustics, the dome, and the stark monochrome scenography combined to create a very intimate experience.
