The Muntaner theater reopens its doors, this time as a “home of comedy”, as monologist Toni Cano announced tonight, on the stage of the remodeled Eixample theater in Barcelona.
Together with Sandra Reyes and Carlos Ramos, as announced The Vanguard Last July, the production company Corta el Cable Rojo decided to recover the emblematic venue on 4 Muntaner Street in Barcelona for the performing arts. Opened almost a century ago as a nightclub, the space has been a unique enclave in a very popular area of the city of wonders.

Expectation before the inauguration of the new Muntaner theater
The venue at 4 Muntaner Street was the Emporium between 1927 and 1979. Then the Riba brothers (Scala Barcelona) converted the venue into Muntaner 4 Discorama, with a rotating track and stage, which operated from 1985 to 1995, and then It became the Shadows nightclub.
In 1996 there was a radical change, when it became a theater as the Muntaner Hall, which remained active until 2018. Now, in 2024, the performing arts return to number 4 of Barcelona’s Eixample Street, in the theater that will be from now on “the house of comedy”.
