Karl Marx Theater
The Karl Marx Theater (Spanish: Teatro Karl Marx) is a theater in Havana, Cuba, formerly known as the Teatro Blanquita, and renamed after the Cuban Revolution of 1959, the venue has an enormous auditorium with seating capacity of 5500 people, and is generally used for big shows by stars from Cuba and abroad. The theatre is also a major concert venue for both local and international artists; singer-songwriters such as Carlos Varela, Silvio Rodríguez and Pablo Milanés, are just a few of the great names who have graced this particular stage. More recently, this was the scene of a concert by British pop group The Manic Street Preachers, which included among the thousands of excited young fans none other than President Fidel Castro himself.
