Nuevo Teatro Alcalá

    Information

    The hall, located in a building of great architectural wealth, came about under the name of the Coliseo Pardiñas in 1927 and was the work of Luis Ferrero. It later changed its name to the Coliseo Alcalá, followed by the Alcalá Palace Theatre and, now, New Alcalá Theatre, in which some of the most important musicals on the Spanish line-up are performed.  

    Under the name of Alcalá Palace, it enjoyed years of splendour, with a programme full of important zarzuelas and leading figures from flamenco. In 1975, it premiered the  musical “Jesus Christ Superstar”, by Andrew Lloyd Weber, a hit yet controversial  musical performed by Camilo Sesto and Ángela Carrasco.

    After being closed for fourteen years, the businessman, Alejandro Romay, and the architect, Margarita Massó, opened the New Alcalá Theatre in 2001.

    The new theatre has two halls. The main hall is larger. It has a traditional Italian layout with large stalls, two circles and various boxes, with good visibility from all angles.  Hall 2 is a multi-purpose space located in the basement of the building. It has a more modern layout and style, which is ideal to host more avant-garde productions as well as children’s performances.
