Teatro Eslava

New
    Information

    Located close to Puerta del Sol, it was first opened as a theatre in 1872. Later, in 1981, it was turned into a nightclub, becoming one of the nerve centres of the Madrid Movement and a trendy disco for many generations well into the 21st century.  Following its closure in 2020 to undergo a major refurbishment, it is re-opening in 2022 to offer leisure and entertainment, where live music can be enjoyed with artists from all styles, clubbing sessions featuring today’s top DJs and a flamenco-dinner show by the dancer, Cristina Hoyos, and the theatre director, José Carlos Plaza.

    In its new programme, the theatre boasts two of the most prestigious figures on the Spanish cultural panorama: the dancer and choreographer, Cristina Hoyos, and the theatre director, José Carlos Plaza, who will present his show, OléOla. They both join forces to surprise the public with a new musical concept in a show-dinner format, which will delve into the history of flamenco dance and song.

    Evenings at Eslava will also offer clubbing sessions aimed at a heterogeneous public.  Its programme is designed to take patrons to a utopia where the musical sound, ambiance and virtuosity will be the essential pillars. Every Wednesday at 12:30am, the Wonderclub session will feature sets by the best national and international DJs; and on Saturdays, also at 12:30am, the Zander session is an exclusive party that mixes the most danceable electronic music with attractive, sensual staging that will change every Saturday to keep you guessing and feeling alive.

    The leisure offer is rounded off with concerts by all styles of national and international artists.

    Teatro Eslava occupies an area of more than 2,000 square metres divided into four levels. Its refurbishment has been carried out by the prestigious French architect, Philippe Starck, who has preserved the original architectural structure and various key elements of the property’s heritage, such as mouldings and handrails, the domed ceiling and the wooden medallions, as well as making significant modifications, such as the construction of an acoustic shell in the theatre to equip the hall with better soundproofing.
