Teatro Fígaro, Theatre and movie theater in Madrid, Spain

Teatro Fígaro is a rationalist venue at 5 Calle del Doctor Cortezo in Madrid, opened in 1931. Architect Felipe López Delgado designed it as the Cine Moderno, but it was converted into a cinema-theatre during construction, leaving a small stage that later reforms enlarged at the expense of seating. The lobby holds a mural by Alfonso Ponce de León.

Promoted by the pelota player and businessman Ildefonso Anabitarte and designed by architect Felipe López Delgado, the venue opened on 11 November 1931 with Eugenia Zuffoli's company. Planned as the Cine Moderno, it was converted into a cinema-theatre while construction was advanced, leaving a small stage that later reforms enlarged at the expense of the seating. After the Civil War it reopened as a cinema until 9 October 1969, when Núria Espert's company premiered Las criadas.

The theatre's name honours actor Adolfo Marsillach, added in January 2008 when his daughter, actress and producer Blanca Marsillach, took over programming. The venue reopened for stage work on 9 October 1969 with Núria Espert's company performing Las criadas. During the Civil War it was run by the CNT union.

The venue is located in central Madrid and is easily accessible by public transportation. It is helpful to check the program in advance since offerings vary between theatrical performances and film screenings.

The lobby mural was painted by Alfonso Ponce de León, an artist associated with the rationalist circle around the venue. The building was promoted by Ildefonso Anabitarte, a pelota player turned businessman, and its architect Felipe López Delgado received the second medal at the 1932 Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes for the project.
