Directly in front of the Palacio Real is the iconic Teatro Real, a prominent Opera house built in 1818. After more than thirty years of planning, the theater was finally open to the public in 1850 with Donizetti's ¨La favorite¨, being the inaugural performance. The Teatro Real quickly became one of the most prestigious opera houses in all of Europe, hosting some of the world's most renowned opera singers, composers, and performances. You can take a breathtaking tour of the main concert hall or see a live show.
The installation of the metro system in Madrid caused damage to the building and prompted renovation and restoration. The renovation, however, wasn't completed until the 1960s. It then reopened to the public as a concert hall and is still active to this day. If you're lucky, you can see the Spanish National Orchestra and hear a performance of a lifetime!
