This is the third and newest theater built in Dakar.
The guide humorously told us that he did not understand its construction, since the other two theaters were never full.

"The Grand Théâtre de Dakar is one of the finest architectural achievements on the continent. It is indeed the largest theater in West Africa. This imposing monument, which accommodates up to 1,800 spectators, allows artists to perform various performances.

Grand National Theater Doudou Ndiaye Rose
Since its inauguration (April 15, 2011), the Grand Théâtre has hosted the representation of the greatest works of the Senegalese, African and even world cultural repertoire. It allows the blossoming of all talents; whether they are musicians, playwrights or actors"
