About

The Zorrilla Theatre or Teatro Zorrilla, also known as the Duláang Zorrilla sa Maynila ("Zorrilla Theater in Manila") in Tagalog, was a prominent theater in the Philippines. Once located along Calle Iris (now a part of C.M. Recto Avenue), Manila, the theater was named after José Zorrilla (1817–1893), a Spanish poet and playwright. The building, which had a seating capacity of 900 people, was officially opened on August 17, 1893, and it was the venue for Spanish-language and Tagalog-language stage performances.
