The Artistic Project of the Teatro Real since its Reopening

On 11th of October 1997 and under the presidency of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía, the Teatro Real reopened as an opera house. Since then, the artistic project of the Teatro Real has made it one of the great international centres of operatic activity and an undisputed landmark among Spanish cultural institutions.

Its artistic programme nurtures both the traditional lyrical repertoire as well as contemporary works, incorporating twentieth-century and avant-garde music. It believes strongly in offering the public a place where they can discover the best artists and creators of the moment.

Madama Butterfly (2017) by Javier del RealTeatro Real

2016-2017 Season

The world premiere of 'City of Lies', by Elena Mendoza, is the second premiere at the Teatro Real of an opera composed by a Spanish composer, and expands a repertoire that begins with Handel and advances to the unknown and unique 'Bomarzo' by Alberto Ginastera. Major productions such as 'Billy Budd' continue the work of expanding the Madrid repertoire, and the live broadcast of 'Madama Butterfly' via Facebook has become a global phenomenon.
