Not to be missed: an opera evening in Seville at the Maestranza!

The Teatro de la Maestranza, Seville's Opera House, was named after the Maestranza de Artillería (Artillery Arsenals). It was originally built in 1587 as Alphonse X’s royal arsenal. It was inaugurated in 1991 by the Queen. Nowadays, the theatre kept a part of the neoclassical façade in its architecture. This cylindrical building can welcome up to 1800 spectators.

The volume of the building (20 000m²) required special arrangements regarding the acoustics. The venue is equipped with a system which enables easy adaptation of the stage for operas or symphonic concerts.

The Teatro de la Maestranza welcomes famous performers and great ballet troupes such as the Real Orchestra Sinfonica de Seville, conducted by John Axelrod.
