But the theater’s story has its share of drama offstage, too. In 1939 during the Spanish Civil War, a bomb partially destroyed this beautiful building. Ouch! After heroic restoration, the curtain rose again, and from 1985 to 1992, the backstage got a glow-up fit for modern spectacles. So, as you stand here, you’re looking at layers of Alicante’s cultural heart - rebuilt, reborn, and still ready for the next act. Don’t you just love a theater with more plot twists than the plays inside?
