I just saw an outstanding concert by the Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra. I had a small box to myself which made me feel comfortable with Covid worries. I bought my ticket online for less then 20E and managed to figure it out even though I don't speak Spanish. I highly recommend seeing this orchestra for locals and visitors alike.

We’ve been here before & loved it - last time to see a very uptempo concert by the great jazz electric bassist Stanley Clarke. This time we were here for a more traditional performance, one of the shows in the flamenco dancer Manuela’s farewell tour after a long and glittering career. And what a great night, with a top class guitarist, two male cantors, percussionist and three other women singers. It went on and on with a whole series of different combinations of performers as if no one could bear the night to finish - and the big and passionate audience loved it, as the standing ovation at the end showed. We were up in one of the boxes on the second level, with a great view, and it’s a hugely impressive theatre in its own right including a huge ceiling painting by C19 artist Bernardo Ferrandiz that’s a feature in its own right.

This theatre is located very centrally just behind Plaza de la Merced. The neo-classical building was built in 1870.
The auditorium has over 1000 seats. The interior has a horseshoe form of stalls. The most outstanding feature is the painting on the ceiling by Bernardo Ferrandiz, which depicts Industry, Commerce, and the Port.

In the Intermission of the Nutcracker, the air conditioning on full blast, sitting in paradise (also called a chicken coop), your back is unbearable and there is no space to put your feet... The fantastic ballet, although a live orchestra would make the difference... Recycle Cervantes, a city like Malaga deserves it.

We visited the theatre last night for a performance of “El Medico” the Musical. Cervantes is a beautiful theatre, we had great seats and were assisted to our seats in a helpful pleasant way. No catering on site, but drinks were obtained from a little shop just outside the theatre

Reason for my trip to Malaga, its Film Festival.
Cervantes Theater for the opening and closing gala of the Festival and for the film premieres.
Beautiful on the outside and wonderful inside. Small and very cute. Comfortable and with very friendly and professional staff.

On a recent visit to Malaga, I was surprised with tickets to “West Side Story” at Tewatro Cervantes. It was a fabulous production! Tony’s final note in “Something’s Coming” was simply gorgeous and the best interpretation of the song I ever heard, and the “Tonight (or rather Por Fin) Quintet” was thrilling!!! The theatre itself was beautiful and I would easily go back to attend future productions there.

This is my fourth outing to this wonderful theatre often overlooked by tourists (a smaller scale version of La Scala). In fact the taxi driver assumed we meant the Roman theatre and dropped us of there. It made a pleasant short walk.
I have seen flamenco, ballet and now a wonderful performance of L'Elisir D'Amore, a Gaetano Donizetti opera performed by a Basque company and accompanied by the Malaga philharmonic orchestra. What a treat! Didn't start until 9pm so went for some lovely tapas in the vineria opposite, suprised with cheap tickets to find ourselves sat in a box! Enchanting evening, the highlight of our holiday.

What a wonderful evening spent in this beautiful atmospheric theatre and in the company of the student dance ensemble from Korea. A very special evening in an historic auditorium.

Cual es la mejor ubicación ? Nunca he ido y quiero saber cuál es la mejor
Written May 15, 2018
Hola! En mi opinión, platea/butacas para ver cualquier obra actuación que quieras disfrutar de cercanía. Los palcos de primera planta están bien si sois dos y tenéis los asientos de la primera fila, los dos asientos de segunda fila son incómodos.

Hola! He reservado unas entradas en la 2 platea derecha, quisiera saber si tiene buena visibilidad, gracias!

Es mejor butacas o palco primera planta frente al escenario??
Written August 30, 2016
Los palcos tienen buena visión, incluso mejor dependiendo del espectáculo, pero has de notar que meten 6 sillas en un espacio diseñado para 4 con lo que se hacen incómodos especialmente en funcionaes largas. Espero haberte sido de ayuda.

Buenas, he comprado unas entradas para ver un espectáculo en este teatro. Tengo la fila 3. ¿Es una buena localización?
Gracias de antemano.
Written September 29, 2015
La butacas son siempre una buena localización. Cada parte tiene sus cosas buenas y sus cosas malas, pero en butacas siempre aciertas.
