history
A major renovation took place in 1916. During the revolution of 1934 , the theater suffered considerable damage. It opened its doors again in 1948 with the opera Manon by Jules Massenet .
In 1988, as part of the project by the Andalusian architect Jose Rivas, the designer Julio Galán recommended modifying the structure, changing the inclination of the stage and modernizing the space of the orchestra pit and the orchestra pit.
Under Carbayón Square and 19 July Street, the roots of the oak are protected by a large pot. Since then, the theater has had modern changing rooms, a rehearsal stage, tailoring, hairdressing salon, tools and props. The light and sound of the stage are controlled from here. The old changing rooms on the rear facade of the building became the seat of the cultural department of the city of Oviedo.
In 1993 the multi-purpose room in the basement was transformed into a Modern Art Center for the City of Oviedo (CAMCO). It has been managed by Cajastur since 2004, and art exhibitions of modern and avant-garde art take place regularly.
In 2006 the Hidrocantábrico Foundation financed the launch of the theater's outdoor lighting.
