Gran Teatro Nacional, Concert hall and opera house in Lima, Peru

The Gran Teatro Nacional stands at the junction of Javier Prado and Aviación avenues in San Borja, Lima. Its broad dark overhanging roof shades a glass curtain wall divided by vertical mullions, and the facade reflects the sky and distant hills. Inside, a 1,500-seat hall serves opera, symphonic concerts and theatre, with rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, a library and a cafeteria.

The theater opened in 2011 as a result of Peru's efforts to establish modern cultural institutions and prepare for the country's bicentennial celebration. Its creation reflected growing national commitment to cultural infrastructure development.

The theatre is the home of Peru's national ensembles under the Ministry of Culture: the National Symphony Orchestra, the National Ballet, the National Choir, the National Children's Choir, the National Folkloric Ensemble and the Bicentennial Youth Symphony Orchestra. In July 2012 it staged the opera-ballet Akas Kas by Peruvian composer Nilo Valerde.

The theatre stands at the junction of Javier Prado and Aviación avenues in San Borja, next to the National Library and the Museo de la Nación. It has rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, a library, restaurants and a cafeteria, and in 2020 launched the GTN en Vivo digital platform for streaming performances.

The theatre stands on the site of the Vértice de la Cultura, a venue of the Museo de la Nación where large concerts and sometimes theatre were staged inside a giant tent. It is part of the so-called Cultural Tridium, flanked by the National Library of Peru and the Museo de la Nación. On 14 September 2024 the building held the state funeral of former president Alberto Fujimori.
