Teatro de la Comedia, Classical theatre in Príncipe Street, Madrid, Spain.
The Teatro de la Comedia features a horseshoe-shaped auditorium with three tiers, twelve boxes per floor, and decorative Arab-style arches throughout its interior.
Originally constructed in 1874 by architect Agustín Ortiz de Villajos, the theatre underwent reconstruction in 1915 after a fire damaged its interior structure.
The theatre serves as the permanent home of the National Classical Theatre Company, presenting adaptations of Spanish Golden Age plays and contemporary works.
The renovated facility includes a 503-seat main auditorium, the Tirso de Molina performance space on the fifth floor, and complete wheelchair accessibility.
The theatre's decorative elements incorporate playing card symbols and musical instruments into its balustrades, reflecting its original owner's connection to gaming halls.
