National Theatre of Santa Ana, Historic theatre in Santa Ana, El Salvador.

The National Theatre of Santa Ana is a pale green two-storey theatre with a symmetrical facade. The ground floor has a central entrance and four tall arched windows separated by columns; the upper floor repeats five arched openings, each with a small balustrade. White stucco mouldings decorate the cornices, arches and spandrels, with a crest above the inscription "TEATRO DE SANTA ANA" and a triangular pediment with a circular window at the top.

The theatre opened in 1910 and marked the beginning of a new era for the arts in the western region. Its construction reflected the prosperity and cultural ambitions of the city during that period.

The national theater serves as a central venue for performing arts companies from the Ministry of Culture in western El Salvador.

The theatre stands in the centre of Santa Ana, and its main entrance opens onto the street beneath the pediment bearing the inscription "TEATRO DE SANTA ANA". Inside, the foyer with cloakroom, bar and a meeting room that doubles as an orchestra rehearsal space leads to the 800-seat auditorium and the sunken orchestra pit in front of the stage. The building is a listed national monument, so some halls may be closed outside performance times.

The stage curtain is an Art Nouveau piece by Italian artist Antonio Rovescalli, and during the theatre's 1910–1933 heyday the vault was painted with portraits of Rossini, Gounod, Wagner, Bellini, Verdi and Beethoven. Carved details in mahogany and plaster ornaments were also made by Italian artists.
