Teatro Bellas Artes, Theatre in central Madrid, Spain
Teatro Bellas Artes sits on the ground floor of the Círculo de Bellas Artes and features a hall with modern facilities and good acoustics. The space is compact, with seating on the main level and a smaller upper section.
The theatre opened in 1961 with a premiere under José Tamayo and quickly became an important venue for contemporary drama in Spain. It played a role in establishing the National Drama Center.
The theatre is part of the Círculo de Bellas Artes and reflects Madrid's artistic life. Today it draws audiences who value contemporary and experimental drama.
The theatre is easily accessible from its central Madrid location within a busy cultural quarter. Its compact size means visitors typically have good sightlines regardless of their seating position.
The theatre has focused on authored theatre since the early 2000s, showing less commercial productions than many big-city stages. This specialization has made it a destination for audiences wanting to explore less typical plays and contemporary works.
