National Theater of Cuba

A premier attraction for performing arts in Havana, particularly dance, the National Theater of Cuba has two main stages: the Avellaneda Hall and the Covarrubias Hall. The theater was founded toward the start of the Cuban revolution to promote art and propaganda, and it has since celebrated artists from various disciplines, bringing beloved entertainment to the people of Havana. Among the biggest draws are the performances put on by the Cuban National Ballet. Alongside its main stages, the theater also plays host to Café Cantante, a popular venue for Cuban folk music and fun events like comedy shows, and a piano bar with seating for 150 patrons. Even if you're unable to see a show at the National Theater of Cuba, stop by the Plaza de la Revolución to see the building, which is embellished with wonderful creations by Cuban artists.
