Teatro Colón

This building, a mixture of many styles, is the monumental symbol of the cultural life of Buenos Aires. I think the field is built where it occupies about 8 square kilometers, so imagine his majesty. The set is beautiful, and as you approach along the Avenida 9 de Julio you can appreciate the magnificent view. It is currently being restored, but while I was there, people could visit and there were serveral daily musical performances for the summer. We visited in the morning, with a guided tour. I remember the stunning white marble hall, and the incredible stained glass dome, the golden hall and the hall of busts.

First night in Buenos Aires, we went to the incredible concert, in this beautiful theater.
