Madrid is Spain's theater capital, with the largest venues located on and off Gran Vía. Logically, the vast majority of plays and musicals are performed in Spanish; it's a great activity to practice your listening skills.
Madrid theaters also house a variety of concerts, from dance performances to flamenco extravaganzas and classical music symphonies. So if you want to get a dose of culture and don't understand Spanish, there are still plenty of options. Below we've listed the most prominent venues, but this is a small sampling ofthe city's vast offerings.
