Main theatre in town. To consult the programm just go to their website (http://www.teatroprincipaldealicante.com/) . Opened in 1847, the main façade is neoclassical and next to it there's a fancy (and expensive, let's say it) terrace where you can have a stylish cocktail. It's a great venue to see.
