The Teatro Principal in Maó is considered one of the oldest opera houses in Spain.
It was inaugurated in the 19th century with a clear purpose: to provide Mahón with a permanent venue for music and the performing arts, at a time when the city was experiencing a significant commercial and cultural boom.
Over the years, the building has been renovated and updated, but it retains the classic ambiance that makes it so special:
- a horseshoe-shaped auditorium, inspired by the great Italian theaters;
- boxes and stalls that bring the audience closer to the performers;
- and acoustics highly valued by musicians and singers.
