Teatro Principal
Home to a wide range of drama productions, as well as opera, ballet and musicals, the Teatro Principal is Valencia’s main dramatic venue. It is the city’s oldest and most famous theatre, built in the 19th century, and is now considered a historic monument. All plays are in Castilian Spanish or Valenciano.
Teatro Olympia
This is a private, family-owned theatre with a more intimate atmosphere. It offers a varied programme every year, including plays, classical dance, opera, and zarzuela, a traditional kind of Spanish musical theatre. Most of the plays and operas are classic and fairly traditional, but some contemporary ones are done from time to time. All productions are generally in Spanish.
Teatro Talia
Located in the heart of the Old Quarter, this theatre is a beautiful example of early modern architecture. It used to be the “workers’ theatre,” presenting popular operettas and dramas for the common people. It was bought by the city government several decades ago, however, and remodelled, and is now much more of a highbrow establishment. The plays and operettas are diverse in style and period, though many have a Valenciano slant.
Espai Moma
This is the main venue for contemporary and experimental theatre in Valencia. It is a large theatre, well-furnished and with all the latest techological possibilities, making for daring and innovative productions. The theatre is now more than 20 years old, and has become well-established in the Valencia arts scene. In addition to performances, the theatre offers workshops and courses.
