The amphitheater, which is currently being constructed at the end of the Malecón (seafront) from Puerto Plata, may very likely be put into operation in mid-August.
In order to make the opening a special event, the world famous artist Juan Luis Guerra with his band 4.40 have been contracted.
Juan Luís Guerra
On request by the builder Rafael Silverio Galan (Kuky) the amphitheater will be called after Camilo Carrau.
Camilo is a legendary resident of the port town of Puerto Plata and known as a great watercolorist, cartoonist, filmmaker and writer.
The amphitheater will offer a seat to 5100 people and provides a platform for music, theater, dance and film.
Puerto Plata has to become more attractive with this theater for the tourist.
The hope and expectation is that the cruise ship passengers visiting Puerto Plata also want to attend a performance at the theater.
If the opening of the theater and attending the musical performance of Juan Luis Guerra will be free to the public, is still uncertain.
