The Grand National Theatre of Peru (Spanish: Gran Teatro Nacional del Perú) is a multi-purpose theatre and concert hall in Lima, Peru. It is part of the Cultural Tridium, flanked by the National Library of Peru and the Museo de la Nación.
The theatre has a capacity of up to 1500 people, and uses the latest technology in acoustics and sound engineering to support performance genres ranging from opera, philharmonic orchestra concerts, Broadway shows and more. The building includes rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, restaurants, cafeteria, library and rooms for various types of events.[1]
The theatre was inaugurated in July 2012 with a performance of the opera-ballet Akas Kas[2] by Peruvian composer Nilo Valerde.[3]
