Meanwhile the main arts venue is the nearby Palau de la Música, Paseo de la Alameda in the Turia Gardens (tel: 902 204 020; website: www.palaudevalencia.com) producing classical music (plus occasional pop and jazz) concerts, opera and ballet. The main theatre is the Teatro Principal on Calle Barcas (tel: 963 510 051) though all productions are in Castilian or Valenciano.
