The Gran Teatro de La Habana is a prominent cultural landmark in Havana, Cuba, celebrated for its exquisite Baroque Revival architecture and historical significance. It functions as a comprehensive cultural hub, housing the Cuban National Ballet and hosting a variety of artistic events.
The theater traces its origins to the Teatro Tacón, established in 1838. Over time, it transformed into the sophisticated Centro Gallego, constructed between 1908 and 1915. The current structure was designed by Belgian architect Paul Belau and engineered by the American firm Purdy and Henderson, catering to the social and cultural needs of the Galician immigrant community.
Located at Calle Prado # 458, between San Rafael and San José streets, and facing Parque Central, the Gran Teatro de La Habana is accessible by taxi or a short walk from Old Havana.
Ticket prices vary based on the performance and seating. While locals generally pay less, tourists might expect to pay around £30 or more. Booking tickets in advance can be challenging without local assistance.
