Teatre d'Alaró

Teatre d'Alaró is the municipal theatre of Alaró, a small town in the Raiguer region of Mallorca, sitting at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. The venue serves as the town's main cultural stage and is run directly by the Culture Department of the Ajuntament d'Alaró (town council).

Where is the theatre, and what is the building's history?

The theatre occupies the former Cine Parroquial (parish cinema), a building that once belonged to the Diocese of Mallorca. Following a thorough renovation that turned it into a modern performance space, it reopened in 2008. You'll find it at Carrer Sant Vicenç Ferrer 33, right in the centre of Alaró, a short walk from the main square.

What can you watch there?

The programme goes well beyond drama. Alongside theatrical productions, the schedule regularly includes concerts, dance performances, and film or documentary screenings. Past programming has featured companies such as La Lapicera Teatro, with the play "El Pomeranio," and Pinkateatre productions. Families are catered for through "Cine al teatre," a recurring series of film screenings aimed at younger audiences.

How do you get there, and when is the best time to visit?

Alaró sits in the central part of Mallorca, roughly 25 km from Palma, and is easily reached by road from anywhere on the island. The theatre doesn't keep museum-style opening hours; it operates around its event calendar, published by the town council, so it's worth checking what's on before planning a visit. The best time to go is on an evening with a scheduled show or concert. For visitors exploring Alaró, the theatre makes a good addition to a day trip that also takes in the Castell d'Alaró, a medieval hilltop castle nearby, and the town's narrow streets beneath the Tramuntana ridge.

Why is it worth a visit?

Teatre d'Alaró offers a glimpse of Mallorca's everyday cultural life, away from the coastal tourist crowds. It's a small, community-run stage that still welcomes outside visitors keen to catch a performance inside a converted, historic cinema building.
