Teatre Victòria, Theatre venue in Paral·lel district, Barcelona, Spain
Teatre Victòria is a theatre in the Paral·lel district of Barcelona, with a hall that seats over 1,000 people and a stage equipped for large productions. The building has several floors and is easy to spot from the street thanks to its traditional facade.
The theatre opened in 1905 under the name Pabellón Soriano, designed by the architect Andreu Audet i Puig. Throughout the 20th century it went through several rebuilds and name changes before taking the name it carries today.
The Teatre Victòria is one of the few large theatres in Barcelona that regularly stages productions in Catalan, keeping the language present in everyday city life. Audiences tend to be a mix of locals from the neighborhood and visitors from other parts of the city.
The theatre sits on Avinguda del Paral·lel and is a short walk from several metro and bus stops, making it easy to reach from most parts of the city. It is worth checking the current program before visiting, as productions change often.
Since 2019, the theatre has been run by Antonio Díaz, the illusionist known professionally as El Mago Pop, who is one of the most watched Spanish magicians on television. This connection between stage magic and traditional theatre has shaped the programming in an unusual way.
