The presence of Calderonian theatre in the 18th century is verified through the different theatre programmes, especially during the first half of the century, and, particularly, when we talk about autos sacramentales performances.

In this way, this study allows us to obtain a better understanding of the audience preferences during the 18th century until its prohibition in 1765.
