The Tablao Flamenco 1911 is the new name of the historic Tablao Villa Rosa that opened in 1911, and is known as the oldest tablao in the world. A flamenco space that began to bring the greatest artists of the flamenco world to step on its stage in the early twentieth century, by the hand of the legendary Antonio Chacón.
Throughout so many decades the Villa Rosa stage has been graced by the most internationally renowned flamenco figures, such as Lola Flores, Imperio Argentina, Miguel de Molina, Juanito Valderrama and Dominguín. Their performances have been enjoyed by both residents of the capital and visitors coming from the rest of Spain and the world, making their nights, eternal evenings of dreams. Hollywood figures such as Ava Gardner and Hemingway, and even monarchs such as Alfonso XIII, were received several times in this emblematic hall. It was forced to close its doors for reasons of force majeure, but has always resurfaced to return with more strength.
Today, after meticulous restoration and conservation, visitors can once again admire its facades where the tiles, created between 1915 and 1920 and protected by the Madrid City Hall, shine. Beautiful corners of the most famous capitals of Andalusia and Madrid, such as Seville, are drawn there. The architecture and the atmosphere of this temple of flamenco have an unmistakably Andalusian touch, reminding the spectators of the halls of the palaces of the Alhambra and the famous Albaicín neighborhood.
The Tablao Flamenco 1911 opens a new page of its glorious history after the world pandemic, to receive the best dancers, singers and artists of the Spanish flamenco world in a unique space.
