The Teatro Espa\u00f1ol of Madrid <\/strong>is one of the most unique and traditional buildings of the capital<\/strong>. Suffice it to say that this building was constructed in 1583<\/strong> and since then and until today has not ceased to represent plays<\/strong>. This circumstance has made the Teatro Espa\u00f1ol<\/strong> the oldest surviving theatre if we take into account the continued performance of plays<\/strong> because no other theatre in the world has represented performances so uninterruptedly during so much time. This theatre is located in Plaza de Santa Ana<\/a><\/strong> which is one of the most charming squares in the centre of Madrid, as we have already seen in this blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can say that this theatre is a model of survival<\/strong> as it underwent two fires<\/strong> and had to be twice rebuilt from the ashes. This is why we have chosen it for our section Restoring is Living<\/strong>, being our last article La Casa del Reloj<\/a><\/strong>. What was the birth of the Teatro Espa\u00f1ol<\/strong> like? When did the building catch fire? How was it able to resurrect from the two devastating fires? Today, we will tell you about it in our blog: come and join us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BIT OF HISTORY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We can state that Felipe II <\/strong>created the beginning of the Teatro Espa\u00f1ol <\/strong>when in 1565<\/strong> he authorized the Cofrad\u00eda de la Sagrada Pasi\u00f3n<\/strong> to perform plays there. This place was located in Calle del Pr\u00edncipe<\/strong>, however its first performance did not take place until 1583, without any seats nor stands. At first, this place was called Corral del Pr\u00edncipe<\/strong>. According to the documents in the Archivo de la Villa de Madrid, the plans for the first building for the theatre were drawn by Pedro de Ribera in 1735<\/strong> and they were similar to the current building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The

In any case, it only lasted for 9 years because in 1744 it was pulled down in order to build a new theatre which was called Coliseo del Pr\u00edncipe<\/strong>. This new theatre was created by the architects Juan Bautista Sachetti and Ventura Rodriguez<\/strong>. And so we arrive to the year 1802<\/strong> when the first fire in the theatre took place<\/strong>: only the exterior structure resisted the fire. The architect Juan de Villanueva <\/strong>was given the task of reconstructing it: it would take five years to finish. In 1807, the new theatre was inaugurated<\/strong> having a larger stage and a more beautiful fa\u00e7ade with many balconies and a neoclassical triangular pediment. During the reign of Isabel II<\/strong>, this theatre becomes the National Theatre and is called Teatro Espa\u00f1ol<\/strong>. In 1851, the Town Hall regains ownership. Unfortunately, in 1975 a second fire takes place <\/strong>and made a new construction absolutely necessary. It was not until 1980<\/strong> that the theatre was inaugurated once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE FINAL AND DEFINITIVE REFORM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1995, the definitive reform of the Teatro Espa\u00f1ol was carried out <\/strong>by the architects Andr\u00e9s O\u00f1oro and Enrique Ortega<\/strong>. A rehearsal hall<\/strong> was built as well as a library, a cafeteria and an exhibition hall<\/strong>, besides other rooms for offices and storage. Currently, the theatre has two prominent places: the Main Hall<\/strong> (with a capacity for 735 people<\/strong> and located on three floors all of them with perfect visibility and excellent acoustics), and the Margarita Xirgu Hall<\/strong> (which is located where the Caf\u00e9 Pr\u00edncipe used to be and has a capacity for 110 people<\/strong>). In addition, there are other interesting spaces such as the Sal\u00f3n de T\u00e9 <\/strong>(used for institutional events), the Sal\u00f3n Tirso de Molina<\/strong> (used for interviewing and photographing the artists), the Parnasillo <\/strong>(where a collection of portraits is accommodated), and the Espacio Andrea D\u00b4Odorico <\/strong>(used for press conferences, lectures and exhibitions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DID YOU KNOW THAT…?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the XVIII century, what was then the Teatro Pr\u00edncipe had a group of unconditional followers <\/strong>known as Los Chorizos<\/em><\/strong>. This group had an enormous rivalry with the followers of the Teatro de la Cruz <\/strong>(which does not exist nowadays) and they were known as Los Polacos<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n
