Transformed into a true theater on wheels, La Carroza recreates the magic of the Teatro Real in a traveling format, offering a unique experience: an open-air opera recital.

As part of its mission as Spain’s leading national opera house and within the framework of its “Cerca de ti” project, the Teatro Real presents “La Carroza del Real,” its traveling stage designed to bring a variety of artistic performances—including instrumental concerts, opera and zarzuela recitals, and children’s shows—to every corner of Spain.

The Teatro Real’s La Carroza has become one of the leading initiatives for promoting opera and has established itself as a major force in bringing opera to communities throughout Spain. Since its launch in 2022, thousands of audience members have enjoyed the captivating and highly diverse performances offered by La Carroza del Teatro Real, which has traveled nearly 90,000 km to towns in more than 30 provinces.

The MUN and the Teatro Real are presenting this opera recital in collaboration.

This concert is part of the La Noche en Blanco program.
