Teatro del Bosque, Municipal theater in Móstoles, Spain.
Teatro del Bosque is a public theatre in Móstoles, Madrid, inaugurated on 8 March 2003. Architect Miguel Verdú designed the building, and Javier Mariscal designed the outdoor gardens, which include plant-covered towers up to 18 metres high and dunes of reinforced earth with vegetation. The auditorium seats 646: 270 in the platea, 331 in the amphitheatre and 45 in the paraíso.
The architect Miguel Verdú presented the project in January 1998 and construction began in 1999; the theatre opened on 8 March 2003 with the opera Mefistófeles by the Compañía Lírica. The garden by Javier Mariscal, with planted towers up to 18 metres high, was built from August 2002 alongside the building. The Ciudad de Móstoles awards are presented here each year.
Each year the theatre hosts the Premios Ciudad de Móstoles awards ceremony. Its stage has welcomed English-language plays for children and classical music concerts, some given by the Conservatorio Profesional de Música Rodolfo Halffter, alongside the Compañía Lírica's opening performance of Mefistófeles in 2003.
The venue is easily accessible with a box office for purchasing tickets in advance. It is helpful to check the current schedule and programming details before your visit to plan the best time to attend.
The garden outside was designed by Javier Mariscal, with towers up to 18 metres tall covered in plants and dunes of reinforced earth with vegetation; work on it began in August 2002, while the theatre itself was still under construction.
