Metro de Madrid and Teatro Real unveil exclusive products at Ópera

The Ópera station of Metro de Madrid becomes a cultural hub with the arrival of official Teatro Real products at its shop. From mugs and bottles to candles featuring the iconic logo, travellers can now take home a piece of Madrid’s artistic heritage thanks to an agreement between Metro and Fundación del Teatro Real.

The station’s lobby and corridors are decorated with large-format vinyls displaying iconic images of the opera house and its most renowned productions. In this way, Ópera is transformed into a cultural showcase for thousands of daily users, strengthening the link between mobility and art in the city.

This collaboration marks a milestone: Teatro Real is the first guest brand in the Metro shop, which plans to add products from other organisations soon. The range is expanding and the shop is establishing itself as a meeting point between travellers and culture.

Ópera station celebrated its centenary last October, an occasion on which Metro opened this shop in its main lobby. It joins existing locations at Plaza de Castilla, Sol, the classic train exhibition at Chamartín, and the museo Nave de Motores de Pacífico.

To mark the hundredth anniversary, Metro teamed up with the chocolatería San Ginés to launch a churro maker with chocolate and two decorated mugs, which quickly sold out among locals and tourists.

Since its opening in 2012, the Metro corporate shop has expanded its catalogue with books, homeware, items for children and pets, and even unique pieces such as the old Santiago Bernabéu signage, which disappeared in minutes. The Christmas jumper, meanwhile, continues to break sales records every year and has become an icon. In addition, all products are also available on the official website.
