The inscription reads - Within Thes Stones Horizons Sing and a Welsh inscription - Creu Gwir fel gwydr o ffwrnais awen, which means Creating truth like glass from the furnace of inspiration. Wales Millennium Centre (Welsh: Canolfan Mileniwm Cymru) is an arts centre located in the Cardiff Bay area of Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. Phase 1 of the building was opened in 2004 and phase 2 opened in 2009. The centre has hosted performances of opera, ballet, dance, comedy and musicals.
Locally nicknamed "the Armadillo", the Centre comprises one large theatre and two smaller halls with shops, bars and restaurants. It houses the national orchestra and opera, dance, theatre and literature companies with a total of eight arts organisations in residence. The main theatre, the Donald Gordon Theatre, has 1,897 seats, the BBC Hoddinott Hall 350 and the Weston Studio Theatre 250.
The centre is viewd here from the Roald Dahl Plass which has been constructed on the site of the old Oval Basin of Cardiff Docks.
Cardiff Bay played a major part in the development and success of Cardiff as an exporter of coal to power the industrial age. Tiger Bay is historically one of the first multicultural ports in Great Britain and the community comes from up to 45 different nationalities. The docks were regenerated in 1999 by the creation of the Cardiff Bay Barrage
