CULTURE IN MADRID

Theatres and festivalsThroughout the year, large, medium-sized and small performance venues in the capital and towns in the region offer the best of the theatre, music and dance scenes, with productions that transport audiences to magical worlds dreamed up by the greatest directors and choreographers. The Teatros del Canal, Teatro Real and Teatro de la Zarzuela, the Corral de Comedias theatre in Alcalá de Henares and the theatre-auditorium in San Lorenzo de El Escorial are fine examples of this.All of which explains why the Madrid region plays host to so many major festivals - international ambassadors for the regions arts agenda such as the Spring (formerly, Autumn) Festival, which year after year brings together the best of the international arts scene; the Madrid en Danza nternational Festival, which acclaimed dancers and dance companies clamour to attend; Teatralia, the Festival of Performing Arts for Boys and Girls, targeted at the youngest artists; Animadrid, which showcases the most outstanding Spanish and international animated films; the Clásicos en Alcalá Festival, the essence of classical drama; and Suma Flamenca, which turns the region into the last word in flamenco, to name just a few. All of these offer a varied arts programme ranging from classical to ground-breaking drama, classical and contemporary dance, and every imaginable music genre.Then there is Madrids very own Broadway, the Gran Vía, which for the last hundred years has watched its pavements fill with crowds thirsty to see the latest musicals. Finally, let us not forget Madrids capacity to host mega music events such as Madrid Rock in Rio, which had over 300,000 spectators at the last edition.Museums and artMeanwhile, with its age-old trees and the finest museums in Spain, the Art Walk offers tourists a wonderful experience. The Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofía Museum and Art Centre welcome with open arms all those who want to steep themselves in art, from the great masterpieces in the universal history of art to the latest trends at the vanguard of art today. These amenities are complemented by a rich variety of galleries and other arts venues, whose temporary exhibitions enable Madrid to showcase the latest innovations in photography, painting, sculpture and installations, and over 100 additional museums around the region.Culture in the streetEmblematic spaces such as the Plaza Mayor and Plaza de Oriente squares, the National Library, the Royal Palace and the Church of Los Jerónimos present Madrid at its most monumental, without forgetting the towns and various sites around the region. Major arts centres such as the Círculo de Bellas Artes, La Casa Encendida, the Centro Cultural Conde Duque, Caixa Forum and the Casa de América have become driving forces for culture throughout the region, while for the space of their duration events such as the Madrid Book Fair, ARCO (the International Contemporary Art Fair) and PHotoEspaña turn the national and international spotlight on the Madrid region.But culture can also be felt on the street, as the region promotes numerous activities that surprise residents and visitors alike. Countless manifestations emerge spontaneously on any street corner to claim their place in Madrid life such as the puppets in the Retiro Park, now a tradition that beckons children every weekend. Finally, annual events such as the “Night of the Theatres” (27 March), “White Night” (September) and the “Night of the Books” (23 April) mean that those who want to can enjoy culture until the early hours.
