Auditorio de Tenerife has placed itself at the same level as other national theatres. It has managed to go beyond Spanish borders through Opera de Tenerife, leading international opera productions of the highest level. This was possible in collaboration with other European and Latin-American cultural centres. The team of Opera de Tenerife works on this daily challenge to prepare every year larger projects and offer greater excellence, through its seasons, combining classic titles and contemporary proposals.
Ópera de Tenerife’s season includes several of its own projects, linked to its commitment to the dissemination of opera and culture in Tenerife society. In this way, the aim is for a work to be an unforgettable experience open to people of all ages, where literature, music, painting, the performing arts and human values transcend the stage of the Auditorio de Tenerife. Performances for the whole family, complementary activities and actions for the creation of audiences complete each year’s proposal.
Ópera de Tenerife is an initiative of the Cabildo de Tenerife (the goverment of the island) -through Auditorio de Tenerife-, sponsored by the Instituto Canario de Desarrollo Cultural of the Government of Canary Islands and the Instituto Nacional de Artes Escénicas y Música INAEM of the Government of Spain. Ópera de Tenerife is a member of the following professional networks: Ópera Europa, Ópera Latinoamericana (OLA), the European Network on Educational Formats in Opera RESEO y the spanish opera network Siglo XXI.
2025-2026 Season
Ópera de Tenerife unveils its most ambitious and extensive season. The six subscription titles are complemented by ‘Ópera en familia’ (Family Opera), ‘Ópera de Cámara’ (Chamber Opera), as well as other productions and activities taking place both within and beyond the Auditorio de Tenerife. Expanding our operatic repertoire to enhance our audience’s enjoyment and knowledge is one of the goals of this programme, which includes repertoire operas, an absolute revival, educational talks, and the return of zarzuela. Our programme features a captivating range of stage and musical offerings, which we trust will appeal to both our regular audience and our subscription holders.
We are pleased to present a preview of the 2025–2026 season, including lectures by Ramón Gener, a recital by José Bros in multiple venues across the island, and supplementary activities such as Ópera en ruta (Opera en Route).
Lanzadera Cultural
The Tenerife Island Council has introduced the free shuttle service ‘Lanzadera Cultural’, providing complimentary transport for those attending the Sinfónica de Tenerife’s concerts and the Saturday subscription performances of Ópera de Tenerife.
This collaborative effort between the public bus company TITSA, the ‘Patronato Insular de Música’ (Island Board of Music) and the Auditorio de Tenerife involves two buses that, on show days, leave from the south and north, heading to the Auditorio de Tenerife. Once the event is finished, there will be a 15-minute gap until the buses drive the route in the opposite direction.
Details about the shuttle services for the 2025–2026 Opera and Symphony season will be released shortly.
To access this service, you must collect a bus ticket, purchased as a show. Instead of choosing a ticket option, select the name of the stop where you will join the journey. Whether you have a ticket for the show or have yet to buy one, you must collect this invitation to board the shuttle. Places on the shuttle service are limited and will be available until the day before the show at noon for the opera events, and until 11 p.m. for the symphony concerts.
