This magnificent theatre is the oldest of the Commonwealth (th century). It was built at the initiative of the Grand Master, Manoel de Vilhena, who wants "a decent source of relaxation for the knights". The first piece was given in January 1732, played by the knights themselves. Originally called "the theatre of men", the Manoel Theatre is then named Royal, to take the name of its founder only in 1866. After being sold to a private investor, it was slightly neglected in the 1866 th century for the benefit of the Royal Opera, inaugurated in. Renovated for better acoustics with its original décor, it reopened in 1960 to accommodate the greatest musicians. Concerts, operas, theatre plays are organised from October to May, during many evenings. You can book tickets by phone or directly to the theatre.
