Teatro Pérez Galdós
The Pérez Galdós Theatre is a cultural institution with more than a century of history. It was built in the Triana district, near Vegueta, on the left bank of the Guiniguada ravine. During this time it has been the prime centre for the performing arts on the island of Gran Canaria and the cultural heart of the city. Today the Pérez Galdós Theatre is an architectural landmark, a social emblem and an inescapable political reference point for the capital and also for the island. It has a regular programme all year round and is the home of the Alfredo Kraus Opera Festival.
