Teatro Tacón, Historic theatre in central Havana, Cuba.
The Teatro Tacón features a main auditorium with 2,750 seats, decorated with ornate moldings, chandeliers, and classical architectural elements throughout the interior.
Built in 1838 by Barcelona businessman Pancho Martí, the theater received its name from Miguel Tacón y Rosique, who served as Governor of Cuba during construction.
The venue has presented numerous performances ranging from opera premieres like Bottesini's Cristoforo Colombo to ballet shows and theatrical productions from Cuban and international artists.
The theater maintains regular performance schedules and provides guided tours that explain the architectural features and historical importance of the building to visitors.
The structure's acoustics were so exceptional that when the Gran Teatro de La Habana was constructed, architects incorporated the original concert hall into the new building.
