Teatro Real Madrid

Tourists, travelers and guest that love opera will enjoy finding a budget hotel near the Teatro Real in Madrid. This historic building was completed in 1850, and was not always used as an opera house, although it has now reverted back to its original function. Throughout history it has been used as a Conservatory, but it was closed (due to structural concerns) for almost 40 years, then was again reopened as a concert theatre. In the 1990's, the theater was again remodeled to fulfill the need for an opera house, and is now home to the Madrid Symphony Orchestra. The Teatro Real hosts about 17 operas per year, typically in conjunction with other European opera companies.
