Seville is an important flamenco center and it would be a shame to leave the city without catching a show. It’s said the best are impromptu performances in local bars, for example at
Bar Tenderete, Calle Rodrigo Caro 3, or at
Carboneria, Calle Leviés 18. Regular formal
tablao venues include the highly rated
El Arenal, Calle Rodo (tel: 95 421 6492; website: www.tablaoelarenal.com), and
Los Gallos, Plaza de Santa Cruz 11 (tel: 95 421 6981; website:
www.tablaolosgallos.com).
Opera and classical
music are often performed at the
Teatro de la Maestranza, Paseo de Colón 22 (tel: 95 422 6573; website:
www.teatromaestranza.com), also the home of the
Royal Symphonic Orchestra of Seville (October to June).
Teatro Central on the Isla de la Cartuja, Calle José de Galvez (tel: 95 503 7200; website:
www.teatrocentral.com), offers music, theater and flamenco in classical and contemporary styles. The beautiful neo-baroque
Teatro Lope de Vega, Avenida de Maria Luisa (tel: 95 459 0867; website:
www.teatrolopedevega.org), hosts flamenco shows, modern and classical plays and concerts. Outdoor concerts, opera and theater of all descriptions also take place at Europe’s largest open-air venue,
El Auditorio, Isla de la Cartuja (tel: 95 446 7538).
