The Teatro Principal is the most important theatre building in Alicante, located in Plaza de Ruperto Chapí. In 1846, construction work began on the Plaça del Barranquet on what was then known as the Teatre Nou to differentiate it from the old theatre on Carrer de Livorna. The theatre opened on 25 September 1847. Ten years later it was renamed Teatro de Alicante and, shortly afterwards, Teatro Principal. The project was developed by the Alicante architect Emili Jover Perrón.
