Teatro Ángela Peralta
A neoclassical theater completed in 1874, named after Mexico's famous soprano and a symbol of the Old Town's revival.
The theater is named after Ángela Peralta, the 19th-century Mexican soprano known as the 'Mexican Nightingale', who died of yellow fever in 1883 while touring in Mazatlán. The theater later fell into disuse and was damaged by a hurricane, but it was restored and reopened in 1992. Its three-tiered horseshoe auditorium is ornate and elegant. During the day you can buy a ticket to tour the interior, and in the evening there are operas, dance performances and concerts. Performances are especially frequent during the cultural festival in October and November and during Carnival in February. It is located beside Machado Square.
