Review:

The notion of an opera house to rival those of Europe, a place 'to see and be seen', was conceived in 1840. The architect was Mariano Arana and the first portion of the Teatro Solis was completed in 1856. Two wings were added to the Neoclassic Coliseum in the late 1860s. Materials were sourced across Europe – slate, Siberian wood and Italian marble, among others. Productions include opera, piano recitals, symphony performances and plays. Guided tours are available for the public and educational institutions. The 'Myths and Legends of Freemasonry' tours explain the organization's involvement with the history, the décor and the architecture.
