Teatro el musical

Teatre El Musical, commonly known as TEM, is one of Valencia’s important cultural venues and is located in the traditional Cabanyal-Canyamelar neighbourhood, close to the sea. The building has a long history as a local theatre and cinema and was renovated in 2004 before beginning its current cultural project in 2015 under the management of Valencia City Council.

Today, TEM is much more than a conventional theatre. It functions as a cultural centre and meeting point for the local community, offering a wide range of artistic and educational activities. Its programme includes theatre, dance, live music, performances, conferences, exhibitions, circus and shows for children and families.

The theatre is also committed to contemporary performing arts and emerging artistic projects. Alongside its performances, it organises workshops, creative laboratories and participatory activities, helping to bring culture closer to the residents of the neighbourhood and the wider city.

One of the building’s most distinctive features is its impressive main entrance, which is known for having one of the tallest doors in Valencia. With its combination of historic character and contemporary cultural programming, Teatre El Musical provides visitors with an opportunity to discover a different side of Valencia away from the city’s main tourist attractions.

For visitors interested in theatre, music and contemporary culture, TEM is a great place to include in a cultural itinerary, especially when exploring the lively Cabanyal-Canyamelar area.
