Madrid's Teatro Real, the country's premier opera house, has in recent years incorporated flamenco into its agenda through a series called "Flamenco Real." Since 2019, the Teatro Real's Sala de Baile (Ballroom) is periodically transformed into a tablao to host some of the greatest figures in contemporary flamenco.
The idea is to offer the public the magic of flamenco in the palace of music. Seating is usually arranged with tables or chairs very close to the stage, recreating the atmosphere of a tablao but with the acoustics and gravitas of the Teatro Real.
