The Building

Given the characteristics of the building, the Teatro Real (Royal Theatre) has a certain number of seats that have reduced visibility, or which are less comfortable than others.
All the operas have subtitles. Due to reasons related to the production, there is reduced visibility, or no visibility of the subtitles from certain seats. Similarly, during some ballet productions there is limited visibility of the production from the first row of seats.
When this is the case, details are shown on the seating plan, as well as on the tickets. Once the tickets have been bought, the theatre considers that the audience member has received adequate information on the quality of the view from the seats.
Disabled access is available, and there are six seats reserved specially for audience members in wheelchairs. These audience members can access the theatre through the doors on the following streets: calle Felipe V and calle Carlos III.

Located on the ninth floor of the theatre, the Gayarre room has a small stage to show smaller performances, such as minor operas, chamber concerts, recitals and performances for children. It has 190 seats with visibility throughout the room, without an orchestra pit, and allows the public to get closer to the performers, which means that shows are more intimate and less extravagant.
This room can be accessed via the entrance on calle Felipe V.
