Things to do in Madrid, Community of Madrid: The Best Performances

June 2, 2021 Jana Sager

So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Flamenco En El Backstage de Pablo Ruben Maldonado

You can now enter the world of flamenco at its most edgy and can do so at the hands of one of the pianists at the forefront of the style: Pablo Ruben Maldonado. Every Saturday, the artist from Granada will show the public his personal vision of the music as he combines tradition and modernity in his “Flamenco Backstage” Show. During the performance the audience will feel as if they are watching from the comfort of their sitting room at home, the intimacy is such that one is aware of the performers’ hearts beating in time to the music. Maldonado’s musical proposal is so intense that its magic permeates the souls of those present, thus converting the Backstage into something addictive. Do you dare to try it? “Flamenco Backstage” has a new home. The family Hinves and Steinway & Sons have opened their doors to Flamenco.

Unforgettable improvised theatre - in English- based on YOUR suggestions. Totally unplanned fun from MAD Improv - Madrid's only English language improvised theatre company.

Tight, funny yet sensitive improv show based on 2 interviews w/audience members. Adapts super-well to Zoom. Same (but different) as on stage and you can see them better. Go, but stay home.

Tablao Flamenco Las Tablas

LAS TABLAS is the ideal place to spend an evening experiencing the song, dance and guitar of Flamenco while enjoying exquisite Spanish cuisine. Every night, our audience’s imagination is captivated by the passion of the song, the intensity of the dance and the sound of the guitar being played to the beat of clapping hands. Every night is unforgettable. We’re a young, dynamic, artist-led Flamenco stage, centrally located at Plaza de España, number 9, in the very heart of Madrid. You’ll find us between the Royal Palace’s Sabatini Gardens and the Temple of Debod. Our repertoire includes varied, representative Flamenco at its best, which is always open to proposals from emerging and acclaimed artists alike. Our two daily shows, at 7 p.m. and at 9 p.m., feature performances by great artists and meticulous staging.

Reviewed By IhorM - New York City, United States

This was my first flamenco show and I was a bit skeptical about it. After 5 minutes of the show (booked on their website w/ 1 drink included) I absolutely loved it and so did my wife. Dancers, singer and guitarist are very passionate about their craft and performed exceptionally. This was one of my favorite experiences in Spain and it was worth every penny. Highly recommend it everyone. Videos on YouTube or recorded in person don't do it justice. Must see live.
