Teatro Español, Theatre in Plaza Santa Ana, Madrid, Spain
The Teatro Español features two performance spaces: the Main Hall with 735 seats and the Margarita Xirgu Hall accommodating 110 spectators.
The theatre originated as Corral del Príncipe in 1583, underwent reconstruction after an 1802 fire, and received its current name Teatro Español in 1849.
The theatre presents both classical Spanish literary works and contemporary productions, maintaining a connection to national theatrical traditions through varied programming.
The venue provides accessibility services, an on-site café, advance ticket sales, and stands near Antón Martín and Sevilla metro stations.
The building incorporates engravings of notable theatre figures on its Neoclassical façade, including playwright Federico García Lorca.
