Teatro Guimerá

[1] In 1923 it was named after the writer, poet and playwright Àngel Guimerà, born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

The theater was built on the site previously occupied by the Saint Dominic Convent or Our Lady of Consolation belonging to the Dominican Order and one of the two convents existing in the city.

The theatre was built in 1849 by the architect Manuel de Oráa in classical-romance style.

It underwent important works of modification in 1911, mainly of the interior of the building, headed by Antonio Pintor.

[3] Both orchestra concerts and operas are now performed at the Auditorio de Tenerife, which opened in 2003.
