Nestled in the heart of Santa Clara, this architectural marvel was inaugurated in 1885, a testament to its rich cultural legacy and enduring charm. Originally funded by one of Cuba's most generous patrons, Marta Abreu, the theatre was envisioned as a gift to the people, hence its name which translates to "Charity Theatre." Its neoclassical façade and opulent interiors, complete with hand-painted murals and intricate woodwork, transport visitors to a bygone era. Over the decades, it has hosted countless opera, ballet, and drama performances, continuing to play a pivotal role in Cuba's artistic heritage.
