Dominican architect Teofilio Carbonell built this striking white marble building in 1995, modeled after Santo Domingo’s national theater. Located directly across from the city’s landmark monument and surrounded by a lush garden, the Gran Teatro del Cibao boasts three levels with large marble and mahogany halls. The main room, Sala de la Restauración, has a capacity of 1,600 seats, and is the city’s largest indoor venue and stage. Year round, the prestigious theater hosts numerous national and international plays, dance performances, operas and concerts.
