    Wales Millennium Centre

    The Wales Millennium Centre is Wales’ national home for the performing arts in Cardiff Bay.

    One of the UK’s top cultural attractions and home to eight resident partners, this Welsh landmark stages musicals, opera, ballet, circus, cabaret and contemporary dance alongside the UK’s largest programme of free performances.

    The Wales Millennium Centre was created as a stage for Wales to reflect the spirit of a nation and become a home for the performing arts.

    After years of planning, the project was completed in just two and a half years by construction company Sir Robert McAlpine. It was opened by the Queen in 2004, using an ornate steel key that had travelled across five continents on a journey of goodwill before unlocking the front door. 

    The design reflects both the natural and industrial landscapes of Wales, drawing inspiration from the sea cliffs and steel industry of South Wales, as well as the jagged slate mines found in the north.  There is also a nod to the maritime history of Tiger Bay, reflected in the hull-shaped, copper-coloured roof that gave rise to the building being known locally as the Armadillo.
