The Cervantes Theater in Malaga is one of the main cultural references of the city and one of the oldest theaters in Andalusia. Inaugurated in 1870, this emblematic building has been the epicenter of Malaga artistic life. Located in the heart of Malaga, in the central Plaza de Jerónimo Cuervo, the theater has hosted a wide variety of shows, from opera, theater and zarzuela performances, to concerts, cultural events and the famous Malaga Film Festival.
The origin of the Cervantes Theater is linked to a tragic fire that in 1869 destroyed the citys previous theater, the Teatro de la Merced. To replace it, a group of notable Malaga citizens, led by the architect Gerónimo Cuervo and the painter Bernardo Ferrándiz, promoted the construction of a new theater. Thanks to his efforts, the Cervantes Theater opened its doors on December 17, 1870 with the opera "The Ivory Glove." Since then, it has been a symbol of Malaga rich cultural tradition.
The architecture of the Cervantes Theater is neoclassical in style, characteristic of the time. The building has a capacity for more than 1,000 spectators distributed over three levels: stalls, boxes and amphitheater. Its interior design is notable for the elegance of its decoration and, above all, for its impressive ceiling painted in oil by Ferrándiz, which allegorically represents the arts. This fresco, of great artistic value, is one of the jewels of the theater and one of the main reasons why thousands of tourists and culture fans visit it every year.
The Cervantes Theater offers a varied and high-quality cultural program throughout the year. Operas, musicals, classical and contemporary plays, and dance performances are performed here. In addition, it is one of the main concert venues in Malaga, hosting performances by symphony orchestras and modern music.
One of the most notable events is the Malaga Film Festival, which is held annually in this theater and has gained relevance both nationally and internationally. This festival is a key platform for Spanish cinema, and during its celebration, the Cervantes Theater becomes a meeting point for renowned actors, directors and producers.
The Cervantes Theater is located in a privileged location in the historic center of Malaga, which makes it easy for both tourists and residents to enjoy. It is a few minutes walk from emblematic tourist places such as Calle Larios, the Alcazaba and the Picasso Museum. The area has a wide range of bars, restaurants and shops, making it an ideal place to enjoy a complete cultural experience.

Tickets can be purchased online or at the theater box office.
