The Teatro de la Comedia (Comedy Theater) is a theater in Madrid, inaugurated on Calle del Príncipe in 1875 and rebuilt in 1915 after a devastating fire. In 1986 it was designated the headquarters of the National Classical Theater Company and in 1999 it was acquired by said company, along with five other floors of the same building, by the Spanish Ministry of Culture.
In October 2015, after being closed for thirteen years for renovation work, it reopened with a performance of The Mayor of Zalamea. After this renovation, the hall has six hundred and thirty seats; in addition, it has a new hall with one hundred seats, called "Tirso de Molina".
