About
El Teatro Nacional de Cuba es un moderno edificio ubicado en la Plaza de la Revolución de la capital cubana. Abrió sus puertas definitivamente como Complejo Cultural, el 3 de septiembre de 1979. En él se promueve la danza, el arte dramático, el teatro para niños, la música y las artes plásticas. Se brinda además no sólo un repertorio teatral cubano y universal de primera línea, sino infinidad de espectáculos, festivales y galas en múltiples formatos. Es la única institución de su tipo en Cuba, que posee dos grandes salas: la Covarrubias y la Avellaneda, ambas con excelentes condiciones acústicas y dotadas de la más moderna tecnología en iluminación, tramoya escénica y sonido, así como de amplias facilidades de camerinos y servicios para espectáculos (vestuario, maquillaje, pirotecnia, etc.), lo que permite ofrecer una alta calidad en las numerosas puestas teatrales y espectáculos que en ellas se ofrecen.

For about £15, I managed to see 3 performances from the Cuban ballet and they were and absolute delight one more than the other, I was complete taken by surprise on how wonderful their performance was, it's definitely a must see, just make sure you book your taxi there and back so you are not stranded at the end of the show.

We did not see a performance but went on a tour with a lovely young lady who spoke several languages as our group consisted of guests who needed translation of the tour in French, English and Spanish. She was very knowledgeable. The building is undergoing some renovations but is still beautiful none the less.

We went to see a production of Swan Lake as part of the Festival International de Ballet de La Habana . The performance was excellent - the Ballet National de Cuba at its best - and was attended by Alicia Alonso herself.
The theatre is a stark modernist building finished in timber and marble and has received refurbishment, as evidenced by the new auditorium seating. It's location is not ideal for tourists as it needs a car or taxi to access (and has a huge car parking area adjacent).
Facilities are a little chaotic. Queueing was necessary for the toilets and refreshments are provided by a number of temporary stalls outside the front of the building, which becomes the milling area during the interval. What happens when there is torrential rain, as can happen?
Perhaps with a little imagination, some modern provision could be made, while respecting the modernism of the original building?

Our group attended a wonderful one-hour class taught by one of Cuba's top instructor. We were highly engaged as the troupe went through a series of exercises leading up to a great performance.

We thought we were going to be in for a Cuban style rhythmic ballet but we were wrong . They were ballerinas at their best! Cuba has a large number of foreigners from Russia who have settled in Havana and have introduced the art or classical ballet to this country.
Its not an expensive ticket, and it you enjoy your classical ballet you will not be disappointed with the National Cuban Ballet.

The building had been closed for renovation and restoration for some time. They did a superb job. It looks like an old European opera house. This was their first season in the "new" building. I am certainly not a ballet connoisseur but I found it enjoyable and was fun to be there.

This beautiful curved building is located on the corner of Avenida Paseo. It has very beautiful interior decoration. I managed to meet two of theatre keepers. Also outside of the theatre, you always see lots of beautiful and sexy American vintage cars with their owners who are happy to take you around. If you do not have enough money in your pocket, then for sure you could hire one of these little Rickshaw to go around.

Be sure to ride by at night as the building is much more impressive and absolutely beautiful. We didn’t see the ballet but did take the tour and wasn’t really impressed. Unfortunately, like many of the historic sites in Cuba, the building is badly in need of a facelift. Beyond the auditorium there isn’t much to see, just a lot of empty space. Don’t know what I was expecting but this wasn’t it.
