Teatre Principal de Maó 

The oldest opera house  in Spain. Built in 1829, on the site of an older theatre, the Italian inspired design is horseshoe shaped with a capacity for 729 spectators  in the stalls and three tiers of boxes.

In 1997, a huge restoration  programme began which lasted four years to modernise and extend the  facilities, install new equipment and ensure this iconic theatre would  be able to meet the requirements of a new century.
Today, a regular and  varied programme of concerts, dancing, plays and other performing arts  takes place, the highlight being the grand annual opera organised by the  Fundació Menorquina de l’Òpera and performed by some of the world’s  leading opera stars.
