El Teatro Nacional de Costa Rica es el principal teatro de Costa Rica. Se encuentra ubicado al costado este de la Plaza Juan Mora Fernández en la ciudad de San José, sobre Avenida 2 Libertador Juan Rafael Mora, calles 3 y 5 en el distrito Catedral, San José. El Teatro Nacional es un edificio de arquitectura historicista terminado en el año de 1897. Se le considera uno de los inmuebles más importantes de la historia nacional, y principal joya arquitectónica de la ciudad de San José. Su construcción guarda un profundo significado dado que representa la decisión del costarricense a la hora de emprender acción y de la estabilidad económica (traída por la cosecha de café[1]) y política de la época en la que fue construido. Como institución, el Teatro Nacional promueve la producción de las artes escénicas de alto nivel artístico y conserva para el uso del público varias de las obras de arte más valiosas del país. Ha sido declarado monumento nacional,[2] institución benemérita de las artes patrias, patrimonio histórico-arquitectónico de Costa Rica y símbolo nacional de Costa Rica.[3]
La construcción del Teatro Nacional se inició en enero de 1891, una vez que el Decreto N° XXXIII del 28 de mayo de 1890 hubo ordenado su construcción, declarándola como "obra nacional"; cuando la ciudad de San José tenía no más de 20.000 habitantes. El teatro como representación artística está presente en Costa Rica desde el periodo colonial, determinado por los temas religiosos, con repartos compuestos únicamente de varones, que se desarrollaba en espacios predominantemente privados, sin que se llegara a concretar el establecimiento de una sala de teatro. Con la independencia (1821) y la construcción de un creciente Estado que involucraba a diversos actores sociales y bajo el norte de un Estado que alcanzara el "progreso", es que durante la administración de Juan Rafael Mora Porras (1849-1859) se llega a edificar el Teatro Mora, de carácter público, el cual fue concentrando la presentación de eventos artísticos (dentro del ámbito urbano); el que pasa a denominarse Teatro Municipal una vez derrocado don Juanito Mora. Este lugar logró por muchos años suplir la necesidad de espectáculos del pueblo costarricense; pero poco a poco se deterioró hasta que llegó a cerrarse en 1888 cuando un terremoto terminó por destruirlo.
Not a building that would catch your eyes on the street, but the interior didn't fail to impress me. The National Theater is not just beautiful, but also haves a great history. It's basically the pride of the city, it's the place where visiting presidents dine, as the theater room can be transformed into a ballroom. Guided tour haves a lot of interesting information, but I really disliked the attitude of the guide.

Just visited after many years, beautiful architecture but definitely needs a facelift on the front, since is a Historic building I know it's going to be a difficult process.

Great place for history. English speaking guide was bit cocky.. Everytime you ask him question which is kind of reassuring the fact will come out "yes, exactly as I just explained" seems like he is discouraging us to ask any question .. The picture in the center hall roof is so amazing that it seem following you and rotates itself.. Makes me to give 3 star .. Everything else is average.

We have seen frankenstein. It was Top performance for me. Complex, top class choreography!

Incredible place! Absolutely loved it! The price is very low for the amazing experience that the National Theater offers, from every perspective this is one of the best experience s you can have in Costa Rica. A must when you visit. I would compare it as a small version of the insides of Versace or the Summer Palace of Saint Petersburg.

Beautiful building that makes you just step back in time. Performance of Dracula was eerie and intriguing. Would definitely return on future trips to Costa Rica. A word of caution, if you purchase tickets online, you may not get a confirmation as you are used to. Our pending charges on our credit card "disappeared" entirely then came back after a day as finalized. In that interim, we worried they had been cancelled and purchased another set of tickets. We ended up with two sets. Picked tickets up at will call.

Had a private tour (a stroke of luck being the only English speaker on the tour) and had a change to practice my Spanish and learn about Costa Rican history. I am not a history buff but enjoyed learning about the building immensely and really enjoyed my tour guide.

The tour is worth it, you get to see different areas of the theater and history of it. It's truly beautiful inside

Wonderful historic theater. Great productions. Seats in balconies have pillars that you must lean around to see the stage.

Affordable prices. I recommend a visit to a ballet or opera to enjoy the theater. Very nice inside. A bit warm so bring a hand fan.

Le pongo una estrella por el trato tan descortes que nos dieron. Parqueamos en San José centro el Lunes 18 de Junio y por seguridad, yo no cargaba nada más que mi dinero y llaves en la bolsa del pantalón. Al llegar al Teatro al último tour del dia, alrededor de las 4pm. llegue a pagar por mi y mis hijas los 4.500 colones (1.500 cada una) precio de nacionales. El señor de la boleteria me pidió mi cédula. Yo le dije que había dejado mi cartera en el carro y que no la tenía conmigo. Me respondió que si no enseñaba mi cédula me tenía que cobrar como extranjera. Le pedí hablar con el supervisor .. y me dijo que era el. Eran ya las 4pm.. No nos daba tiempo de caminar hasta el parqueo y devolvernos. El Tour empezaba a las 4pm. Ya mis hijas estaban emocionadas de entrar. Como es posible que a una tica como yo... con el gallo pinto pegado en la frente le hayan cobrado como extranjera la suma de 16.500 colones por entrar a un tour... aparte de corto muy sin gysto los comentarios de la señorita encargada del recorrido. Me cobraron 5.500 por cada una de nosotras por llegar sin cédula. Llame al día siguiente al Teatro y nadie me pudo dar ni explicación ni ayudarme. Alguien me puede decir si esto es normal... el trato que nos dieron?

A true Testament to the arts, a product of the grand era of coffee production a lot of history under this roof in between these walls amazing facts about the theater is at the floor can be raised entirely made of wood make sure you get a guided tour and definitely go to the cafe at the theater a must-visit for anyone coming to San Jose
Edwin Marchanjul. 12, 2018
Beautiful place albeit a short look around, the tour will hit about 4 spots around the theater and last about 30 mins. You can find all the information on the pamphlet. Entrance fee is 15 dollars.
