The Royal Theatre of Rabat is a major step in the cultural evolution of the capital of Morocco. Inaugurated on the High Instructions of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, under the supervision of Her Royal Highness Princess Lalla Hasnaa and in the presence of Madame Brigitte Macron, this building is much more than a simple performance hall. It embodies a deep desire to promote art and culture, while establishing Rabat as an essential cultural capital.
Designed by the late Zaha Hadid and supported by the Bouregreg Valley Development Agency, the Royal Theatre of Rabat blends harmoniously into its environment, between the Hassan Tower and the Mohammed V Mausoleum. Its innovative architecture and technological installations make it a true cultural and artistic gem.
Beyond its aesthetic dimension, the Royal Theatre of Rabat aims to be a dynamic space, conducive to creation and artistic expression. With its auditorium that can accommodate more than 1,800 spectators and its 250-seat performance hall, it offers a diversified platform for the Moroccan and international artistic scene. Its outdoor amphitheater, with a capacity of 7,000 people, promises to host major cultural events, thus contributing to enriching the artistic landscape of Rabat.
The exceptional acoustic quality of the auditorium, combined with a modern and functional design, offers an immersive experience to spectators. The Royal Theater of Rabat aims to become a reference place for the performing arts, fostering the emergence of new forms of artistic expression and actively participating in the promotion of Moroccan cultural heritage.
Beyond its artistic vocation, the Royal Theater of Rabat is part of a more global approach to cultural development and international influence of Morocco. By strengthening the country’s cultural infrastructure and promoting a modernist approach to art, it contributes to positioning Rabat as a leading cultural destination.
With the inauguration of the Royal Theatre of Rabat, a whole section of Morocco’s cultural history is being written. This emblematic place embodies the visionary vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI in terms of promoting art and culture, and promises to become a major player in the Moroccan artistic scene.
