Seville is an ideal breeding ground for the proliferation of artistic expressions, evident in the number of major events, concerts and theaters that the city offers.
From the Seville that nested dozens of corrales de comedias to this contemporary Seville that emerges with large theaters, independent stages and halls that are treasures for the performing arts.
And leisure does not stop. On the horizon are the Flamenco Biennial and the promises of the brand new INSÓLITO festival, the Opera Biennial and the reopening of the Lope de Vega.
Thus, it is ideal to remember the spaces that the city offers. The best theaters in Seville that offer and will host, for the coming autumn season, a rich program of performances, plays and shows that are worth checking out.
1. Maestranza Theater
The Teatro de la Maestranza is a national opera institution and one of the cultural complexes of reference in Andalusia.
A rich annual program that includes dance, symphonic concerts, recitals and opera and that each season does not resist to give us moments as brutal as last fall’sTurandot or Carmen, which closed this season.
Aurelio del Pozo and Luis Marín designed this building, which opened in 1991 and can accommodate 1,800 spectators .
For the coming season, musical milestones such as Don Giovanni, Eduardo Guerrero’s show Debajo de los pies, the musical Mamma Mia!, Vicente Amigo, Miguel Ríos, Paz Vega, Aida or El barbero de Sevilla are expected.
📍 Paseo de Cristóbal Colón, 22
2. Central Theater
If there is a space in the Isla de la Cartuja capable of escaping the desolate imaginary that has the former environment of the Expo92, that is the Central Theater of Seville. This modern venue made up of stage boxes is as diverse as it is surprising, and its programming never leaves you indifferent.
Jazz, theater, dance, and the most avant-garde performances, where contemporaneity reaches its zenith. The Central is structured in the box of miracles, the hall and the black box, rotated and inscribed inside another.
The proposal for 2025/2026 revolves around discipline and dialogue and will feature 67 performances by 25 companies and 8 world premieres.

Pathé Theater
Almost 100 years ago the Pathé, the first sound cinema in Seville, was inaugurated in this central location. Juan Talavera Heredia – known, among others, for the Telefónica building, the Ocaña house or the house of María Cháfer (today Mercer Plaza 5*GL) in San Francisco – also built this building, which premiered with a Harold Lloyd film.
It closed its doors in the eighties, changed its use as a nightclub and was remodeled in the XXI century thanks to the architect Juan Ruesga and today it functions as a cinema, theater and television set. Then Teatro Quintero, today Teatro Pathé, continues to host music, children’s shows, theater and comedy.
📍 c/ Cuna, 15
4. Lope de Vega Theater (pending reopening)
A neo-baroque building built by Vicente Traver in 1929 houses possibly the most popular theater in Seville. A centennial space in whose interior have been developed the Biennial of Flamenco, the Early Music Festival and shows and functions of all kinds.
Opera, chamber music, international artists and classical and contemporary plays. The space is well worth a visit every season, with its imposing central chandelier presiding over this elegant theater.
Once understood to be a casino theater, it closed its doors in 2023 for security and rehabilitation works. One of the emblems of the performing arts in Seville is still waiting to specify when it will return to its long-awaited programming.
In principle, we will have to wait until 2026, the date announced for the reopening of the Teatro Lope de Vega which will coincide, in turn, with the Biennial of Flamenco.
📍 Avenida de María Luisa, s/n
5. La Fundición Theater of Seville
Located in the old Seville Mint, it is next to Puerta de Jerez. The building has undergone many alterations and was in ruins in the twentieth century, until it was restored at the end of the century. Currently the theatrical programming of La Fundición is halfway between commercial and independent works.
It is a singular reference for its appearance and location, ideal for audiences interested in the performing arts.
📍 Casa de la Moneda, C. Havana, 18
7. Sala Cero Theater
Among the alternative stages in Seville, Sala Cero stands out, one of the most accessible theaters in the city, which is celebrating its anniversary in 2025.
The project has been running since 1995, 25 years since it started on Sol Street. A space open to the public and to contemporary performances, workshops and comedy plays; also a center for the production and distribution of shows.
You can check its program at this link.
📍 c/ Sol, 5
6. Cartuja Auditorium 
Center for events, conventions and shows in the heart of the Cartuja. The auditorium, with capacity for 506 people, is laid out in a Roman amphitheater format, which allows full visibility from any of its seats.
The programming of this location in Seville includes dance, comedy, musicals, magic shows, children’s shows, concerts and, of course, theaters.
📍 c/ Albert Einstein, s/n
7. Alameda Theater
As multidisciplinary and open to citizens as the Alameda de Hércules is this theater of the same name. And is that it is managed by the Institute of Culture and Arts of Seville (ICAS) and, therefore, is nourished by its dynamic annual programming.
The children of Seville are one of its main audiences, although not the only one. Along with the initiatives El Teatro y la Escuelay El Teatro y la Familia , it hosts the Big Band Festival, the International Puppet Fair (the oldest in the country), the Jazz Festival of the University of Seville and the Early Music Festival, among many other events.
📍 c/ Crédito, 13
8. Los Remedios Theater
The Los Remedios Theater germinates in the heart of this neighborhood as a refreshing temple of culture. A renovated space with a capacity of approximately 500 seats, ready to gather spectators of all classes. On its stage it gathers every season theater, musicals, concerts, monologues, carnival and shows also for children.
