Karl Marx Theater

The '''Karl Marx Theater''' ({{lang-es|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. In 2001, this was the scene of a concert by the band [[Manic Street Preachers]], which included among the thousands of excited young fans none other than President [[Fidel Castro]] himself. On being warned by the band that they would be playing very loud, he retorted "you cannot be [[Louder Than War|louder than war!]]". ==Address== Ave 1ª, entre 8 y 10,
