Campos Elíseos Theater
Go back to Indoors
Description
The Teatro Campos Elíseos is one of the most emblematic cultural spaces in Bilbao. Inaugurated in 1902, it stands out for its spectacular Art Nouveau façade, designed by architect Alfredo Acebal and decorator Jean Batiste Darroquy, which has earned it the nickname "La Bombonera de Bertendona" (Bertendona's Candy Box).
After an extensive restoration, the theater combines its historical charm with modern technology, offering a varied program that includes theater, music, dance, and comedy performances. Its main hall, with exceptional acoustics, and its multipurpose space make it a cultural landmark.
Located in the heart of Bilbao, the Teatro Campos Elíseos is a must-visit for lovers of the performing arts and architecture.
