Our Spaces

The Main Auditorium, with a capacity for 1,958 people, is an internationally recognised theatre, not only for its design and decoration, but also for its exceptional acoustics. The Main Auditorium is laid out so it can be used for smaller meetings, without losing any of its charm.

The stage house, which features some very advanced technology, means the Teatro Real can offer a variety of possibilities for even the most demanding shows.

Given the busy schedule and cultural programme at the Teatro Real, this space is only available for hire on limited occasions, which means that any private event held here will be utterly exclusive.

The Orchestra Room, also known as the Manuel de Falla room, has wood panelling, and the curved surface of the space allows for the musical notes to resonate with the best acoustics possible. Large wooden umbrella-like structures unfold to light up the room and refine the acoustics, creating a unique and welcoming space that gives a glimpse of the old part of Madrid through the colonnade of the opera house.

The privileged location of the Manuel de Falla room, which was previously reserved for the best orchestras in the world to practice in, and the beauty of the unique architectural design, mean that this space is an exclusive location for even the most discerning hosts.

Carlos III Room  is presided over bay an enormous carpet. This 130 m2 room, decorated in different shades of blue, contains in its adjoining circular gallery two oil paintings that form part of the Theatre's own collection, depicting Ronconi, the tenor, and Arrieta, the composer. But what differentiates it from the other rooms is the perfect layout of the mirrors that give a greater depth and luminosity to the surroundings, endowing it with a particularly pleasing atmosphere.

The highlight of the decoration is the refined tapestry in different shades of salmon which completely covers its walls. Like all the other rooms on the second floor, Felipe V Room measures 130 m2 and receives its name from the road towards which it is orientated. But its special attraction lies in the paintings that decorate its wall, which sum up not only a large part of the Theatre's existence but depict the monarchs who in one way or another have written a page in the history of the Teatro Real.

The first thing that strikes visitors to the Vergara Room as one steps on the carpet is the care with which this 130 m2 room has been decorated, with outstanding works of art, such as the eighteenth-century console table and nineteenth-century oil paintings: Una Poesía by Juan José Zapater, Estudio del Natural by Luis Larmig and Tres Alegorías by Verger Fioretti and García Mencía, all of which belong to the Prado Museum's permanent collection and have kindly been loaned to the Theatre for the pleasure of its guests.
