Teatro Princesa (English: Princess Theatre) was a theater in Valencia, Spain. Actor Lluís Nonell died during the play El diluvio que viene on 30 January 1982 from a sudden cardiac death.[1]

History[edit]

It was designed by architect Jose Zacarias Camaña and opened in 1853. During the Spanish Civil War it was called Teatro Libertad.[2] It was remodeled in 1956 by Miguel Sanchis.[3]

The building was abandoned by 1990.[4] In October 1999 it was occupied by squatters but was then evicted by the Policía Nacional.[5] On 27 February 2009 it was destroyed by a fire.[6]
