Teatro Principal de València

It is located in downtown Carrer de les Barques (meaning Boats Street), close from the City Hall, as well as the Northern Station and the adjacent Bullring.

The Principal is the oldest surviving theatre in the city and predates national hallmarks such as Madrid's Teatro Real and Barcelona's Liceu.

The inside was remodeled in 1845 by Sebastián Monleón, who created the city's bullring years later, and the current facade was added by José Zacarías in 1854.

The Palau de la Música was temporarily closed in July 2019 after part of the secondary hall's ceiling collapsed,[6] and with the repairs expanded by a technical report and delayed until 2022,[7][8] the Principal has since become provisionally the Valencia Orchestra's main venue once again.

Franz Liszt gave three concerts in the Teatro Principal in March 1845 during the international tour the undertook in order to defray Ludwig van Beethoven's statue in Bonn.
