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.
