The Teatro Real (literally Royal Theater) or simply '''The Real''' as is known colloquialy, is an Opera House located in Madrid , Spain . The Teatro Real is one of the world's most famous Opera Houses alongside the Teatro Alla Scala , the Liceu , the Metropolitan Opera House , the Royal Opera House , the Teatro Colón , the Wiener Staatsoper , the Opera Bastille , the Sydney Opera House and the Opera Garnier . The Teatro Real was inaugurated on 19 November 1850 , with Donizetti's '' La Favorita ''. The construction of the ''Real'' was ordered by the queen Isabel II , this is the reason why the theater is called Real (royal in spanish). The Teatro Real is located just in front of the Palacio Real , the official residence of the Kings Of Spain . The most succesfull years of the opera house (including the visit of Giuseppe Verdi to present his new opera La Forza Del Destino ) were from its construction in 1850 to 1925 , when the theater had to be closed because of the damage that the construction of the Metro De Madrid had caused on the building. The theater reopened in 1966 as a concert theater until the middle of the nineties, when the theater was remodeled to host Opera again. Since 1997 , the theater has recupered the fame and the excellence that it possessed on the XIX century. The orchestra of the Teatro Real is the Orquesta Sinfónica De Madrid . The Teatro Real has a museum and a tour through the whole building that can be visited even the days when there is not any event. The Metro De Madrid station of the Teatro Real is located in the line 2 and is called Ópera. EXTERNAL LINKS |
