The Guimerá Theatre is a theatre located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the capital city of the island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands (Spain). Built in 1849, it is the oldest theater in the Canary Islands.[1] In 1923 it was named after the writer, poet and playwright Ángel Guimerá, born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The theatre was built in 1849 by the architect Manuel de Oráa in classical-romance style. It underwent important works of modification in 1911, mainly of the interior of the building, headed by Antonio Pintor. Between 1989 and 1991 works of restoration and modernisation were done by the architect Carlos Schwartz. Further improvements were made in 2010 under supervision of Haris Kozo. The theater has been a venue for opera since 1861, when Verdi's Ernani was presented. Operas were usually performed in October and November, with three or four operas given one performance each, usually with an international cast accompanied by the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife.[3] Both orchestra concerts and operas are now performed at the Auditorio de Tenerife, which opened in 2003.
