Teatro Nacional Eduardo Brito

Teatro Nacional Eduardo Brito, Opera house in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Teatro Nacional Eduardo Brito is an opera house in Santo Domingo featuring an auditorium with marble walls and mahogany accents throughout. The venue seats approximately 1,600 guests and regularly hosts opera, ballet, and symphonic performances.

President Joaquín Balaguer commissioned the theater in 1970 from architect Teófilo Carbonell, and it opened on 16 August 1973 with a programme of theater, opera and ballet. It was originally called the National Theater of Santo Domingo; in 2006 a presidential decree renamed it after the Dominican baritone Eduardo Brito. The Santo Domingo Music Festival, proposed by Philippe Entremont, has been held there biennially since 1997.

The theater is named after Eduardo Brito, a Dominican baritone, not a tenor; the renaming came by presidential decree in 2006. In the first-level lobby, before the Carlos Piantini Hall, stand busts of Brito and of Ludwig van Beethoven. Red carpet covers the lobbies on all three levels, where sculptures are displayed.

The theater stands on the west side of the Plaza de la Cultura Juan Pablo Duarte, at Avenida Máximo Gómez 35, served by Line 1 of the Santo Domingo Metro. The main Carlos Piantini hall has a dress code: no shorts, miniskirts, sandals, caps, visors, ripped jeans or sleeveless shirts, and admission can be refused. The Ravelo hall allows informal dress. Firearms, knives, smoking, animals and open flame are banned.

The first-level lobby, in front of the Carlos Piantini Hall, holds a bust of the baritone Eduardo Brito and another of Ludwig van Beethoven. All three lobby levels are covered with red carpet and display sculptures.
