Teatro del Libertador General San Martín
An Italian-style opera house completed in 1891, with gilded boxes and a ceiling mural, where visitors can watch performances or take a guided tour.
The Teatro del Libertador General San Martín opened in 1891 and is one of the oldest large theaters in Argentina. Its horseshoe-shaped auditorium has four tiers of gilded boxes, and the stage floor can be hydraulically raised to create a flat floor for dances. Its acoustics are excellent. It is now a provincial theater that regularly stages opera, ballet, symphony, and folk music performances. When there are no shows, visitors can join a paid guided tour to see the backstage area and auditorium. Tour times should be confirmed on the official website. It is located on Avenida Vélez Sarsfield, next to the Jesuit Block.
