Teatro Infanta Isabel, Theatre and concert hall in Justicia, Madrid, Spain

Teatro Infanta Isabel stands at Calle del Barquillo 27 in Madrid's Justicia neighborhood. Architect Eladio Laredo designed the building, which opened in spring 1913 as a theatre after the site had served since 1907 as a cinema shack called Cinema Nacional and later Petit Palais. It hosted theatre, film and variety shows until 1927.

Architect Eladio Laredo designed this building, which opened to the public in 1913 as a new cultural establishment. Its opening marked an important moment for Madrid's entertainment and arts scene in that era.

The theatre's name honours Infanta Isabel, and for six decades from 1925 it was run by Arturo Serrano, who made his partner Isabel Garcés the company's leading figure. Works by Jacinto Benavente, Enrique Jardiel Poncela and Miguel Mihura premiered on this stage, which hosted theatre, cinema and variety shows until 1927.

The venue hosts regular performances throughout the year with a varied program. Visitors should plan ahead since shows often fill up quickly and group bookings are available.

The venue opened on 9 February 1907 as the Cinema Nacional, a wooden barrack for film screenings at Calle del Barquillo 27, and only months later became the Petit Palais, mixing films with variety shows. Its name honours Infanta Isabel, and from 1925 Arturo Serrano's son ran it for six decades, until 1986.
