A historic theatre with cultural significance
The Teatre Principal is Palma’s oldest and most important theatre. Originally opened in 1667, it has a long history filled with artistic highlights. Over the centuries, the building has been renovated and modernised several times, most recently in 2007. Today, it presents itself as a modern cultural venue with classic charm and remains one of Mallorca’s main stages for performing arts.
A diverse programme in an elegant setting
The Teatre Principal offers a varied programme including opera, theatre, dance, concerts and festivals – in Catalan, Spanish and international productions. The magnificent main auditorium, with red velvet seats, gilded ornaments and a grand chandelier, creates an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Smaller productions and experimental performances also take place in its adjoining spaces, making the theatre an important cultural hub.
Central location and cultural meeting point
The theatre is located in the heart of Palma’s old town, close to Plaça Major and the Rambla. Many visitors combine a performance with dinner at one of the nearby restaurants or a stroll through the historic centre. For anyone interested in culture and local art, the Teatre Principal offers an authentic and inspiring experience in the island’s artistic scene.
