Lunas del Auditorio


Lunas del Auditorio was an award given by the Auditorio Nacional to the best live concerts in Mexico, created in 2002 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Auditorio Nacional. Its objective was to reward groups, companies and soloists in Mexico.
The trophy is a replica of the sculpture of the Moon by the sculptor Juan Soriano. The ceremony was broadcast by Televisa, TV Azteca, Secretariat of Culture's Canal 22 and Instituto Politécnico Nacional's Canal Once. Since its 1st edition, the awards were presented annually until 2019. However, they were cancelled between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the announcement that they would resume in 2023, although this has not happened so far.
A very important element of the awards ceremony is the stage design, which from 2010 to 2017, which was designed by architect Mauricio Chacón Granados in collaboration with various departments of the National Auditorium, production, and talented creatives from other areas who have brought to life a stage that accompanies the award winners in an impressive and wonderful event.
