Teatro Real

The Teatro Real is considered the leading institution of the performing arts in Spain, the foremost national opera house and one of the most important Spanish cultural institutions. The theatre also enjoys a significant international reputation.

The artistic project behind the Teatro Real has led to its current position as one of the main international opera centres and a benchmark for Spanish cultural institutions. Its artistic programme seeks excellence, with an interest in both traditional repertory and contemporary forms, including 20th-century music and the newest avant-garde, with a firm commitment to providing the public with a place where they can discover the best artists and creators of today. It also pays special attention to new audiences, and to popularising opera among children and young people.

All of this, plus the excellence of its titular Chorus and Orchestra, the use of the most innovative technologies and its across-the –board production of shows of the highest artistic quality, have brought great prestige to El Real in Spain and abroad.
