Teatro de la Zarzuela, Opera theatre in central Madrid, Spain
The Teatro de la Zarzuela features a classical Italian-style architecture with a horseshoe-shaped auditorium and multiple tiers of seating for optimal viewing experiences.
Built in 1856 following the design of architect Jerónimo de la Gándara, the theatre underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1909 and reopened in 1914.
The theatre maintains its position as Spain's primary venue for zarzuela, a traditional Spanish musical genre combining spoken dialogue with singing.
