Rojales is carrying out renovations to the stage area and auditorium of the municipal theatre at a cost of almost 200,000 euros. The Deputy Mayor and Councilor of Culture, Inmaculada Chazarra said that the contract, which got underway on Monday, has been awarded to Asesoría Energética Oriol SL.

The main purpose of the work is to expand the stage and improve the safety system in case of fires. There will also upgrades to the lighting and acoustics in the building, said the councillor.

Chazarra said that the work is long overdue and is mainly aimed at improving security systems in line with current regulations. “Much of the work has become necessary works because the passage of time has made many of the different installations obsolete,” she explained.

The works also provide for the installation of a firewall on the stage, and improvements to the water supply and pressure, particularly necessary in case of any emergency.
