Review:
Considered one of the five best concert venues in the world and ranked the third best opera house in the world by National Geographic, Teatro Colon is the main opera house in Buenos Aires. The original theatre opened in 1857 and was replaced by the current structure in 1908. Constructed as an eclectic arts complex, the theatre has hosted many famed singers and opera companies over the years. Visitors can schedule a tour of the theatre and its beautiful horseshoe-shaped auditorium, expansive stage, and large central chandeliers; the concert hall and stage are breathtaking. One aspect of the theatre that shouldn’t be missed are the allegorical ceiling frescoes painted by Argentine painter Raul Soldi.
