Nightlife and leisure · Theatres
Spain’s oldest opera house, opened in 1829. It programmes opera, concerts and theatre all year round.
Its Italian-style auditorium, with horseshoe boxes, was restored at the beginning of this century. Maó’s love of opera dates back to the 18th century.
A great option for a rainy evening in Maó.
