The Teatro Zorrilla or Zorrilla Theater, also known as the Dulaang Zorrilla sa Maynila ("Zorrilla Theater in Manila") in Tagalog, was a prominent theater in the Philippines. Located at Calle Iris (now a part of C.M. Recto Avenue), Manila, the theater was named after José Zorrilla (1817 - 1893), a Spanish poet and playwright. The building that can seat 900 people was officially opened on 17 August 1893. It was the venue for Spanish-language and Tagalog-language stage performances.[1]
