The Teatro Tacón (Tacón Theatre) opened in 1838 in

carriages on performance nights.[5]

Architecture

The Teatro Tacón had excellent acoustics, so much so that the

Purdy and Henderson, Engineers
kept the original structure and built the Centro Gallego (Galician Center), a European-styled addition and renovation for the purpose of enlarging its functions as well as serving as a means of introducing an elaborate system of circulation into an otherwise simple, and architecturally modest, preexisting box.
