Location

The Lira do Rosário Auditorium is located in the town of Nossa Senhora do Rosário, an integral part of the municipality of Lagoa. Situated within the urban environment of the parish, this space plays a central role in the cultural and social dynamics of the local community.

A Vibrant Cultural Space

This auditorium is an integral part of the Sociedade Filarmónica Lira do Rosário (Lira do Rosário Philharmonic Society), an institution with deep roots in Lagoa. Over the years, the space has been a meeting point for various artistic and cultural events. While primarily serving the society and its members, it regularly hosts events that enrich the life of the parish, being open to all interested in participating in its cultural activities, from cinema sessions to colloquiums or theatrical plays.

The Legacy of Cinema and Local Passion

The Lira do Rosário Auditorium stands out for its strong connection to the seventh art, largely thanks to the commitment and dedication of a Lagoa resident, who has contributed to the revitalization of the space through film screenings. This cinema enthusiast not only assisted in the auditorium's renovation, equipping it with modern conditions, but also possesses a remarkable collection of historical cinematographic projection equipment. Among his pieces are machines over seventy years old, some still functional, which bear witness to the evolution of film projection and the history of cinema on the island. His passion and the availability of this unique equipment enrich the experience of those visiting the auditorium to watch a film, offering a bridge to the cinematic past.

Heart of the Community and Arts

With a capacity of eighty-four seated places, the Lira do Rosário Auditorium is a multifunctional space that serves the community in various ways. In addition to film screenings, it serves as a venue for meetings, colloquiums, and theater performances, consolidating itself as a true cultural center. Its importance is particularly notable during periods of lower activity for the philharmonic band, when the auditorium takes on an even more prominent role in the cultural offerings of the parish, ensuring that the pulse of the arts remains alive in Lagoa.
