Teatro Real, a state-owned entity headquartered in Spain, was founded in 1818 and operates with approximately 470 employees. The company functions as an opera house in Madrid, specializing in performing arts.
On February 2, 2026, Teatro Real scheduled performances of Giuseppe Verdi's *I masnadieri* for February 10 and 14, presented in a concert version. This follows the January 29 reelection of Gregorio Marañón as president of the institution for his fifth consecutive term, extending his leadership for an additional five years; Marañón has held the position since December 2007. Earlier, on January 28, Teatro Real was recognized for leading the ranking of performing arts and music institutions in Spain since 2016, and for achieving an "Essential" classification among national theaters and concert halls last year. On January 26, Pinchas Steinberg and Àlex Ollé were noted for their production of *Ariadna and Bluebeard* at the Teatro Real, building on Steinberg's past work at the venue. Previously, on January 21, Teatro Real announced five performances of David del Puerto's opera *Lázaro de Tormes*, with a libretto by Martín, scheduled between January 31 and February 8 for young people and adults; the opera originally premiered in 2023.
