Teatro De La Cruz
The Teatro de la Cruz was, for nearly 200 years, the principal theater for comedy in Madrid. Founded in 1584 by the Hermandad de la Soledad, it quickly became the premier venue of its time for Spanish comedy. History In 1743, the theater underwent extensive renovations under the direction of architect Pedro de Ribera, who transformed it into a modern theater with seating for 1,500 spectators. During the nineteenth century, Ribera's architectural style, particularly as embodied by the Teatro de la Cruz, faced intense official criticism. A Royal Order in 1849 declared the theater a "shame of art" and ordered its immediate demolition. However, the theater continued to operate briefly, reopening in 1850, only to be closed again between 1852 and 1857. It was finally demolished in 1859, and today, its existence is commemorated by a small plaque located at the intersection of Espoz y Mina and Calle de la Cruz in central Madrid. Several major works premiered on its stage, including ''El ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Royal Order
In Belgium, a royal decree (RD) or royal order ( in Dutch, arrêté royal in French, or königlicher Erlass in German) is a federal government decree implementing legislation, or exercising powers the legislature has delegated to the crown as secondary legislation. Under the Constitution of Belgium, the king cannot act alone. While the monarch is vested with executive power, it is exercised through his ministers. Hence, while Royal Orders are issued with the king's signature, they must be countersigned by a minister to be valid. In turn, the countersigning minister assumes political responsibility for the order. Its implementation usually begins on the date that it is published in the Belgian Official Journal. In Spain, a Royal order (Real orden in Spanish) was a legal document with the force of law issued by the Spanish sovereign. They were issued by sovereigns from Philip II in the 1550s to Alfonso XIII, who ruled from 1886 to 1931. With the advent of the Second Spanish Rep ...

Don Juan Tenorio
''Don Juan Tenorio: Drama religioso-fantástico en dos partes'' (Don Juan Tenorio: Religious-Fantasy Drama in Two Parts) is a Play (theatre), play written by José Zorrilla and produced in 1844. It is the most romantic of the two principal Spanish-language literary interpretations of the legend of Don Juan. The other is the 1630 ''El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra'' (The Trickster of Seville and the Guest of Stone), which is attributed to Tirso de Molina. ''Don Juan Tenorio'' owes a great deal to this earlier version, as recognized by Zorrilla himself in 1880 in his ''Recuerdos del tiempo viejo'' (Memories of the Old Times), although the author confuses de Molina with another writer of the same era, Agustín Moreto. Plot First part In the first part of the drama, the protagonist is still the demonic rake (character), rake described by de Molina (he is called a demon and even Satan himself on more than one occasion).

Entertainment Venues In Madrid
Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but it is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Although people's attention is held by different things because individuals have different preferences, most forms of entertainment are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, and developed into sophisticated forms over time, becoming available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry that records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products, t ...
