This theater was before the "Galician centre". A place where all immigrants from the northwestern region of the Iberian peninsula could have education and health care.

Went for a ballet show of Giselle by the Cuban Ballet Company. Tickets for foreigners are 30 cuc per person. Officially tickets only go on sale 1 week before the show. But as we found out in Cuba there’s always someone “willing to help you out” should you speak some Spanish. The show was very well done, amazing dancers and great orchestra. The Theater is a true gem. They also have guided tours of the theater. If you have time, please visit the theater!

The Teatro Tacón had occupied part of the site for decades. Its grand auditorium hosted such European artists as Enrico Caruso and Sarah Bernhardt. During the first years of Cuban independence when thousands of immigrants arrived in Cuba from Spain, a new building was constructed around it, preserving the original theatre.[2] Originally known as the Galician Centre of Havana, the building is decorated with a stone and marble statue as well as sculptures by Giuseppe Moretti, representing allegories depicting benevolence, education, music and theatre.

Alicia Alonso, at 82 years old, attending a performance of Swan Lake in El Gran Teatro in Havana, April 2003.
The construction of this building, financed by donations of Galician emigrants, began in 1908 and it opened in 1915 with an opera season offered by important artists of the period. In 1985, at the initiative of the prima ballerina Alicia Alonso, the building was renamed the Great Theatre of Havana.

Following extensive renovations, the theatre has reopened on January 1, 2016 and renamed to honour the Cuban prima ballerina assoluta Alicia Alonso.

We toured the theater which is beautiful, done mostly in marble. At the time, there was an art exhibit of Cuban works done in the colors of the Cuban flag. I include some pictures. Very creative. Many tricked out taxis were outside.

Amazing building hosting a fully functioning theatre. Tickets for performances are sold at the entrance however difficult to get. Take the tour to get to the first floor into the ball room.

Probably one of the most beautiful places to take a photo. Superior location across the street from the Parque Central with the main Havana tourist bus loading area and the José Martí statue. Near the Capital building as well as the most popular pedestrian walking streets of Obispo and San Rafael.

Lovely experience. We went to see a flamenco version of the Phantom of the Opera. The theater is beautiful, the staff is friendly. The only problem, like in many touristic places, is that people focus their attention more on the photos they want to take rather than the show itself
