El Teatro de la Ópera, now known as Teatro Real, was erected in 1738, replacing
an earlier theatre of lesser status. After the War of Independence,
however, not much was left of the theatre. Planning began again
in 1818 - and in 1850 it celebrated its opening with a performance
of Donizetti's "La Favorita". The building was further remodelled
and reopened to the public in 1997. It is located in one of the
most beautiful monumental spaces in Madrid, Plaza de Oriente, adorned
with gardens and sculptures and quiet cafes, just next to the Royal
Palace and Catedral de la Almudena. We can obtain entrance tickets
to most of the performances for you, please let us know if you are
interested.
