Overview
- The singers Aitana and magician Antonio Díaz announced on Monday that they have partnered to acquire the Teatro Aquitània on Avenida de Sarrià and plan a long-term project for the venue.
- The theatre holds about 325 seats and has served varied roles over decades, including as the Filmoteca de Catalunya from 1991 to 2011.
- In their joint statement the buyers said they intend to use the space to generate opportunities for creators, support production and exhibition of new shows, professionalize the sector and create jobs.
- Coverage notes that the announcement gives private visibility to a sector facing venue instability, pointing to the recent closure of the nearby Jove Teatre Regina after a landlord refused to renew its lease.
- The reports do not include operational details such as programming, financing, governance or a reopening timeline, so the exact plans and schedule for the Aquitània remain unannounced.
