Teatro Pavón, Art Deco theatre in Embajadores, Madrid.
Teatro Pavón is an Art Deco theatre in Embajadores with geometric patterns and a distinctive clock tower as key features. The facade displays the clean lines and decorative details typical of this architectural style from the early 20th century.
The theatre was built in 1925 by architect Teodoro de Anasagasti and added to Madrid's growing arts scene. In 1931 it hosted the premiere of an important zarzuela composition, highlighting its role in Spanish musical theatre.
The theatre served as a venue for zarzuela performances and Spanish musical traditions, where audiences experienced local theatrical culture. Today visitors come to see contemporary Spanish stage productions.
The building is easily accessible by metro with several nearby stations in the neighbourhood. Visitors can find it on Embajadores Street, where parking and nearby cafes are also available.
The building is often overlooked for its role as a launching venue for classic Spanish musical pieces, even though it is now known as Teatro Kamikaze. This rebranding since 2016 has drawn new audiences who fill the historic space with contemporary viewpoints.
