About Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires

Argentinians are proud of their Teatro Colon, and it not hard to see why. The imposing facility, with a seating capacity of 2,487, opened in 1908 and has since become one of the prestigious opera houses in the world, having hosted greats such as Igor Stravinsky, Herbert von Karajan, Maria Callas, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, Rudolf Nureyev, Julio Bocca, and Maximiliano Guerra. The sheer grandeur of the place - balconies, chandeliers, lavish decorations - will stay with you for some time. Acclaimed as the best Opera house globally is acoustically an exquisite pleasure to the eyes and ears. And if you want to experience the facility's famed acoustics, rated among the top 5 in the world, then treat yourself to a concert.
