After its renovation in 2005, the theater has continued its strong historical connection with musicals, beginning with full-house shows of American musical films in the 1930s to hosting grand openings of some of the most well-known musical productions in the center of the Spanish capital. The theater now hosts a variety of performances ranging from musical and non-musical plays, to live music and illusionists.
