Plaza del Teatro Sucre

The plaza, while aesthetically unexceptional, serves as a hub for a wide array of theatrical and musical activities. On the south side stands Teatro Sucre, Quito’s premiere performance center for acclaimed plays and operas, while in the northeast corner is the more local, experimental Teatro de Variedades Ernesto Albán. Additionally, the comfortable and modern Café del Teatro hosts frequent musical performances, most notably jazz, and the coffee there receives solid reviews. Finally, culture lovers can enjoy the plaza’s free outdoor concerts, including week-long jazzfests in April and September as well as religious music during holy weeks. A bronze statue of the deceased theatrical comic Ernesto Albán watches the action from his perch on one of the benches.
