Teatre Tívoli

L'Eixample


Dating from 1919, this grand theatre has three storeys of boxes and a generous stage hosting a fairly rapid turnover of drama and musicals. Concerts also take place; Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello and Radiohead have all played, and the Royal Shakespeare Company made its Spanish debut here in 1984.
