Lope de Vega Theatre, Theatre venue on Gran Via, Madrid, Spain
The Teatro Lope de Vega is a stage house on Gran Vía in Madrid with three tiers totaling 1,453 seats. The halls spread across multiple levels, with the stalls and upper galleries connected by wide staircases and foyers.
Construction took place in the 1940s, with the official opening held in 1950. The venue went through different phases over the following decades, from revues to large-scale musicals that became the core of its program from the 1990s onward.
Its name honors the Golden Age playwright whose verse comedies shaped Spanish theatrical tradition. Today it presents Spanish-language versions of major stage works that draw wide audiences and often run for extended periods.
The box office opens Monday to Thursday from noon to 8:30 PM, Friday and Saturday until 10 PM, and Sunday until 6 PM. Visitors arriving before the show will find areas inside the building where they can wait and have a drink before curtain time.
Each of the three tiers has dedicated spaces used for receptions and gatherings before performances. These areas sit directly next to the seating sections, allowing visitors to mingle before entering the auditorium.
