The Royal Theatre of Madrid is more widely known as the Teatro Real. It was mainly designed to function as a grand concert for hosting opera. The theatre was initially the biggest host of the Spanish National Orchestra, along with housing numerous performances of Salvador Dali- the worldwide celebrated Spanish musician. Later the theatre was renovated with the incorporation of special designing techniques that facilitated the audience to have a complete view of the ongoing performance, irrespective of their position regarding the concert stage.

The entire Royal Theatre features an annual hosting of more than 15 opera title shows of self or European production. It also hosts the numerous large ballet concerts and recitation contests throughout the year. The team and entire functioning unit of the orchestra of the Royal Theatre is the internationally recognised Orquesta Sinfonica de Madrid.
