The most important international dance companies have made this theatre their home in Madrid. It is used for contemporary, ballet, flamenco and zarzuela (Spanish opera). Some companies that have performed here include the Compañía Nacional de Danza, the American Ballet Company, Momix and Culbert Ballet. The theatre seats 800 people (the first nine rows with access for the disabled), and it is one of the principle venues for children's musicals around Christmastime. It was inaugurated in 1992 when Madrid was the European Culture Capital. Teatro de Madrid is in a modern neighbourhood, to the north of the capital, and is close to La Vaguada shopping mall, with restaurants, bars and cinemas.
