Teatros del Canal

Teatros del Canal is a performing arts center in Madrid with four halls of different sizes that support various stage formats. The complex provides space for opera, dance, contemporary productions, and other artistic performances in one central location.

The center was built on the site of a former water infrastructure facility and opened in 2009 as a new cultural institution for the city. The transformation of this industrial space into an arts venue was part of Madrid's early 21st-century urban development.

The venue takes its name from the former Isabel II water channel that once ran through the site. Today, visitors experience dance performances, classical opera, and contemporary works presented throughout the year within its spaces.

The venue is located in the Chamberí district and is easy to reach by public transportation. It helps to check the website for current performances and book seats in advance.

The complex contains dance studios where choreographic companies prepare their pieces before performing them on stage. This makes the venue an active creative space where visitors sometimes glimpse artists working behind the scenes.
