Review & FAQ:
Teatro Nacional Costa Rica is located in the heart of San Jose and has been entertaining San Jose residents since 1897, when it opened with a sold-out performance of Goethe's Faust. Today, the theatre has several performances a week and is home to the National Symphonic Orchestra. The theater building is recognized as one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in San Jose and is one of the city’s most important historic buildings. Its original ornate interior and lavish furnishings have been meticulously restored and preserved. The façade of the theatre is decorated with statues of Ludwig van Beethoven and Calderón de la Barca and near the entry is a statue of Frédéric Chopin. The interior is decorated with the mural Allegory of Coffee and Bananas created by Aleardo Villa.
