Teatro Real de Córdoba, Arts center in Córdoba, Argentina
The Teatro Real de Córdoba occupies a building on San Jerónimo Street, opposite the southwest side of Plaza San Martín, designed by architect Gustavo Gómez Molina and begun in 1925. Its main hall, named Carlos Giménez, is horseshoe-shaped with three tiers of boxes and seats about 700. A 2006–2007 renovation added three smaller halls of 70 seats each — Azucena Carmona, Jolie Libois and Eugenio Filipelli — linked by a new staircase in the lobby.
The building opened in 1927 as a cinema and later served as a bank before the provincial government restored it as a theater in 1990. This transformation returned it to a space for public entertainment after decades of different uses.
The name comes from the Real Cine Theatre, the cinema opened in 1927. Today the venue is home to the province's official companies: the Comedia Cordobesa, the Comedia Infantojuvenil and the Teatro Estable de Títeres, which stage their seasons from February to December. The smaller halls are named after the actress Azucena Carmona and the directors Jolie Libois and Eugenio Filipelli.
The venue sits near San Jerónimo Street in the city center and is easy to reach by public transportation or on foot. Plan ahead to check what shows are scheduled across the different halls on the day you want to visit.
The stained-glass skylight over the main hall was restored during the 2006–2007 renovation, which cost 3,600,000 pesos and also extended the stage about 40 centimetres over the proscenium. The smaller hall is named Azucena Carmona after a former actress of the Comedia Cordobesa.
