The theatre that nurtured Spanish cinema

The Teatro Cervantes was the masterpiece of architect Gerónimo Cuervo, a vivid emblem of a city that aspired to be more than a playground for the affluent. It opened its doors on 17 December 1870, and a century later, endures as a tribute to the transformative power of art on its surroundings. The Teatro Cervantes is a colossal structure, a fusion of various styles, a Renaissance cathedral colliding with a Victorian opera house. Initially intended as a theatre, it transcended its role. It was not the birthplace, but a pivotal stage for the Málaga film industry.
