Teatro Real (Royal Theatre) or simply ''El Real,'' as it is known colloquially, is a major opera house located in Madrid, Spain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Teatro Real (Timeout Madrid) )〕 Opened on 19 November 1850, it closed in 1925 and reopened in 1997 with a capacity of 1,746 seats. Today, the Teatro Real opera is one of the great theaters of Europe and its seasons are home productions involving leading figures of the international singing, musical direction, stage direction and dance. The theater also offers guided tours in several languages, including the auditorium, stage, workshops and rehearsal rooms. ==History== After thirty-two years of planning and construction, a Royal Order on 7 May 1850 decreed the immediate completion of the "Teatro de Oriente" and the building works were finished within five months. The Opera House, located just in front of the Palacio Real, the official residence of the Queen who ordered the construction of the theatre, Isabel II, was finally inaugurated on 19 November 1850, with Donizetti's ''La Favorite''.〔 In 1863, Giuseppe Verdi visited the theatre for the Spanish premiere of his ''La Forza del Destino''. In 1925, the ''Ballets Russes'' of Diaghilev performed in the theatre with the presence of Nijinsky and Stravinsky).〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Ficha Teatro Real de Madrid )〕 From 1867 it housed the Madrid Royal Conservatory until 1925 when a Royal Order of 6 December called for eviction owing to the damage that the construction of the Metro de Madrid had caused to the building. Despite its closure, the government always contemplated the possibility of restoring it, ordering numerous projects, such as the architect Urdanpilleta Flórez, who raised a pharaonic remodeling of the building. However, financial difficulties prevented the completion of these projects and led to a simple restoration, sponsored by the Juan March Institute, and carried out first by the architect Manuel Gonzalez Valcárcel, and later by architects Miguel Verdú Belmonte and Francisco Rodriguez Partearroyo. The theatre reopened in 1966 as a concert hall as well as the main concert venue for the Spanish National Orchestra and the RTVE Symphony Orchestra. The reopening was celebrated with a concert of the Spanish National Orchestra conducted by Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and the Orfeón Donostiarra. In 1969, the 14th ''Eurovision Song Contest'' was held at the theatre, featuring an onstage metal sculpture created by surrealist Spanish artist Salvador Dalí.〔〔 ==Remodeling== In the 1990s, the house was remodeled to host opera again. The building was completed in late 1995, then the process of technical, administrative, artistic and functional organization began which led to the opening of the theatre in 1997. The remodeling was based on the old classical style of opera house with only basic modernization leaving many seats without a view of the stage. A considerable percentage of seats have a limited or zero view of the stage and a live stream of operas and ballets is projected on the upper side walls of the house so that the entire audience can follow the performance regardless of their view of the stage. The first opera program performed for the reopening was Manuel de Falla’s ''El sombrero de tres picos'' and ''La vida breve'', which was immediately followed by the world premiere of Spanish composer Antón García Abril's ''Divinas Palabras'' (actually commissioned to open the house) with Plácido Domingo in the cast.〔 The company staged the first modern revival of Vicente Martín y Soler's ''Il burbero di buon cuore'' in 2007, and the world premiere of Philip Glass' opera ''The perfect American'' in 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teatro Real」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
