Teatro Colón

One of the world’s great opera houses, this historic theater opened in 1904 and remains a symbol of the city’s love of high culture. Throughout the season, you can see ballets, operas, recitals and concerts in the domed auditorium. The hour-long guided tour is highly recommended and includes the Golden Hall and the costume department, where you can glimpse more than 20,000 pairs of shoes as well as wigs and costumes that have been worn by Plácido Domingo.
