Amadeo Roldán Theatre

Amadeo Roldán Theatre in Havana, Cuba

The Amadeo Roldán Theatre (Spanish: Teatro Amadeo Roldán) is a theatre[1] in Havana, Cuba built in 1929. The theatre was destroyed in 1977 by a pyromaniac; it was re-opened in 1999 as the head office of the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba which performs seasonal every Sunday at 11:00PM.

Located within a monumental modern building, once home to The Havana Auditorium, the venue now consists of the Amadeo Roldán and García Caturla halls, offering symphonic orchestras, piano recitals, and a mixture of classical and contemporary music. The Amadeo Roldán hall has seats for 886, for important concerts such as Egberto Gismonti and Leo Brouwer, the Caturla hall is for small band performances and has a capacity for 276 persons. The theatre apart from being home of the National Symphony Orchestra is also home to prestigious international events such as the "Encuentro Internacional de Guitarra" (International Guitar Gathering).

Historical Significance and Decline

The Amadeo Roldán Theatre was originally one of the most prominent cultural venues on Calzada Street in Havana's El Vedado neighborhood. In its early years, it became a focal point for the local community, hosting concerts and events. The theatre was noted for its acoustics and its role as a key location in Havana's cultural life.

However, in 1977, the theatre was destroyed by a fire. The building remained closed for nearly two decades before it was restored and re-opened in 1999. Despite these restoration efforts, the reconstruction was poorly executed, leading to further deterioration. After about a decade of use, the theatre was closed again, plagued by structural issues and insufficient maintenance.

Acoustic Quality and Restoration Challenges

The theatre was praised for its acoustics, which contributed to its reputation as a sought-after venue for concerts. However, some of these qualities were reportedly compromised in subsequent repairs.

In 2010, the theatre ceased hosting performances due to its deteriorating condition. The National Symphony Orchestra was temporarily displaced, and the theatre remained closed for repairs. In 2020, Cuban officials announced plans for the theatre to reopen in 2022, but as of now, it remains closed, still suffering from structural problems.

Ongoing Issues

Despite government efforts to restore the venue, the Amadeo Roldán Theatre remains in a state of disrepair. In 2023, reports highlighted leaks during a performance, which soaked musicians and instruments. The ongoing deterioration has led to expressions of sorrow from the public, who remember the theatre as a cultural landmark.

Some commentators have noted that, at times, other government projects, such as the repair of the Antimperialist Tribune, were prioritized over the restoration of the theatre.[2]
