	Wales Millennium Centre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wales Millennium Centre (Welsh: Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru) is a £106 million performing arts complex located on the Cardiff Bay waterfront.
		All the materials used come from Wales and the centre is designed to reflect the many different parts of Wales.
		The Millennium Centre has appeared in the show twice to date; as itself from outside in the episode Boom Town, and its lobby appeared as a hospital lobby in the far future in the episode New Earth.

	Design Build Network - Wales Millennium Centre (WMC) in Cardiff, Wales
		A further £10.4 million was donated by the Arts Council of Wales (a Lottery-funded organisation) and a private investor, London-based South African businessman Donald Gordon, boosted the funds by donating £20 million to be shared equally between the Royal Opera House in London and the WMC.
		The WMC is currently the only building in Cardiff Bay to incorporate slate in its design, although a new Welsh Assembly building, due to be opened in October 2006, will also have slate façades.
		The WMC is one of the first 'new generation' theatres that has its long longitudinal walls articulated with audience 'boxes', providing a sense of proximity between performers and the audience.

		The Centre - a project supported by Lottery grant from the Millennium Commission and direct grant from the Welsh Assembly Government - is aiming to reach an average audience capacity of 75% during its opening year.
		WMC expects to draw regular audiences from the vicinity of Cardiff, the whole of Wales and the Sevenside regions of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Somerset.
		Current research shows that the Centre is also well placed to draw in audiences from as far as London and the North of England for certain prestigious events or for those touring exclusively to WMC, as well as capitalize on the growth in cultural tourism.

	Conservative Party - News Story
		When the Wales Millennium Centre came to present to the Culture, Welsh Language and Sport Committee two weeks ago, its representatives referred to the lessons that they had learned during the first six months of operation, and stated that they are revising and revisiting business plans for the future.
		Insofar as marketing is concerned, it is clear that the Wales Millennium Centre needs to draw audiences from beyond Cardiff and Wales, and that measuring performance during the start-up phase is critical.
		I believe that the Wales Millennium Centre represents a positive and dynamic way to celebrate Welsh talent and culture and that its location in Cardiff provides a gateway for visitors in encouraging them to further seek all that is culturally wonderful in Wales.

		Both in the city centre itself and at the equally impressive Cardiff Bay development, home to the brand new Wales Millennium Centre, an air of optimistic rejuvenation is almost palpable.

		He said the WMC board had terminated an agreement with contractors AMEC as a result of "discrepancies" between the original budget of £70.2m and a forecast cost of £86m.
		"This was very disappointing for the WMC board, which had worked extremely hard to bring the project to that stage and in doing so to attempt to secure a high degree of cost certainty," said Mr Middlehurst.
		Mr Middlehurst said there was broad agreement between the Millennium Commission and the Arts Council for Wales that the Wales Millennium Centre deserved to succeed.

		This latest twist in the project's development is revealed in the BBC Wales Welsh-language current affairs programme Manylu.
		Pressure is mounting on First Minister Rhodri Morgan to give his firm backing to the centre, despite his statement two weeks ago that he would release £2m to take the design of the project to the detail of RIBA stage D which would bring about greater cost certainty.
		But Owen John Thomas, Plaid Cymru spokesman on the Millennium centre, said Rhodri Morgan has misled the public by releasing details the project was way over budget three months after the report was written and after a substantial redesign of the building had brought costs down.

		"Politics are politics, wherever you are," she says of adapting to the public rhetoric around the WMC, which seems constantly to have to prove itself sufficiently Welsh and non-elitist to justify its public funding, while being international enough to be worthy of a capital city.
		The populist air of WMC is exemplified by the opening weekend in November, when the "artistic producer" will be bass-baritone Bryn Terfel: there will be an evening in honour of famed Welsh performers, and lots of indigenous choral and brass band talent.
		She talks of the centre acting as a catalyst for the creation of new Welsh work on a large scale and at the highest standard.

		It was a great delight to be at the Centre last Sunday night for one of the launch events, and to have a taste of the kind of fare which the centre will be serving up doing the coming months and years.
		The Wales Millennium Centre is an iconic building — not least because of its uniqueness in accommodating the Urdd youth camp as well as several arts companies which provide a platform for the highest standard of culture which Wales can offer the world.
		I wish the centre every blessing for the future and look forward to many more visits to come and am delighted that the management of the Centre see the importance of what the faith communities have to offer.

		I wrote the words to reflect the cultural ambition of the Centre.
		It was important to me that the English words on the building should not simply be a translation of the Welsh, that they should have their own message.
		The sea has, traditionally, been for Cardiff the means by which the Welsh export their best to the world and the route by which the world comes to Cardiff.

		Cardiff's Wales Millennium Centre benefits from breathtaking design and opened in late 2004 to become the new home of seven diverse and exciting cultural organisations - including Welsh National Opera and Diversions, the Dance Company for Wales.
		Located in the south of Wales and looking onto the Severn Estuary, the city was only officially recognised as a capital in 1955 and it retains a friendly small town quality that spirited self-promotion and inward investment have not entirely shaken off, perhaps to its benefit.
		However, Wales as a whole has grown in self-esteem now its status as a nation is recognised by the UK government.

		Located on the South Wales coast it is administered as a unitary authority.
		The industrial development and growth of Cardiff was initially centred on the transportation of coal, where coal mined from the Rhondda Valley was sent to the port by barge along the valley of the River Taff, initially by canal and later by the Taff Vale Railway.
		Cardiff´s centre is a particularly green one with Bute Park, formally the castle grounds, extending northwards from the top of the Cardiff´s main shopping street (Queen Street); when combined with the adjacent Llandaff Fields to the northwest it produces a massive open space skirting the river Taff.

		It was left to Geraint Talfan Davies, chair of the Arts Council of Wales, to mention the unmentionable words "opera house".
		Both still live in Wales (Steve Heal was one of the pioneers who bought an apartment in the first phase of the Cardiff Docks redevelopment, 15 years ago) but have long since crossed the Severn Bridge in search of work.
