Best theatre I’ve been so far., maybe not so luxurious as Garnier’s palace , but this building sounds as no other. Don’t miss it.

Lola Lulu

Superb is the 100+ year-old Teatro Colón or the 'jewel in the crown' of Buenos Aires, one of the most famous opera houses in the world. A must is the guided tour !.. A breathtaking experience!..

Nuk Cho

One of the Argentine national glory and pride. Guided tour , with multi-tier pricing, is highly recommended. Grab free entrance on Friday from 10:00 for Argentine performance on Sunday morning.

Lasse Pedersen

I had a free ticket for the Filarmonica rehersal today. It's a nice way to see the beautiful theatre from inside if you don't have money for a show.

Zoë Penman

Incredible theatre - The tour was great, lots of interesting information, and you get to see a great deal of the theatre without seeing a show there.

Enock Pio Ulle

This famous opera house , ranked among the best in the world, is a huge and magnificent theater . Daily tours to its facilities are held for tourists who'd like to know more of its history.

Mariana Falco

The most amazing theater in South America! Every single performance is outstanding, and the acoustics are awesome!

Susanne W

Get tickets to an opera or Ballett for really cheap (5€). Not the best seats but well worth it too experience the theatre .

Claudia Filth

Absolutely stunning theatre . Try and splash out for the expensive sets because you can't quite see the stage from the top tier of the theatre .

Abdo Kassisse

Like being in Europe! Wonderful architecture . High level ballet and perfect service. Being there is a must.

Thomas Knüwer

If you want an English tour , book early in advance - very impressive theatre .

Yary Valiente Alvarez-Mena

You need to buy ticket for the guided tour , they are inexpensive but if you show up in the morning like we did the next available tour was at 2;45pm.

TKGO

This place is spectacular, truly a must-see at least for a tour but ideally a show. For shows, though, spend the extra money on GOOD seats. It is infinitely worth it for the best views and comfort.

Mari Isiemini

Beautiful theatre with a good acoustics . Come in advance to spend some time in its splendid foyer.

Catarina

Very nice theatre , but if you have visited European opera houses you won't be too impressed. Nevertheless worth the visit!

Clifton Salas

Be sure and get here early for same day tour tickets. They sell out quick. The tour is about 1 hour. Tours are offered in English or Spanish.

Alberto Kañevsky

If you love lyric music , simphony, valet or Opera.This is one of the places in the world you should visit.

Susana Irula

Splendid. A must see if in Buenos Aires.

Aran Rodríguez

Truly majestic! We paid for a tour and it was worth every penny. Lasts for about 1h15min.

Kerri West

Avoid seats to the side in the front (2 if poss) rows of the upper levels. When sat back in your seat you can see almost nothing of the stage. Leaning forward throughout the performance is painful

Karla Rios

concerts , architecture . Is very nice place to visit

Mercedes

It’s a must in you are visiting Buenos Aires

Stacey

The theatre is very tall with 6 stories, so dont get stuck at the top where acoustics aren't as good. The interior itself wasn't impressive, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Tchaikovsky symphonies

Sofia Uz

Worth the visit either when there's a performance or with the guided tour , beautiful decorations and architecture !

Paulo Rementeria

The best sounding building in the worl, maybe.

L D

Beautiful feat of architecture . Would highly recommend doing the tour .

Marcelo Barroso

Very beautiful. Before going to Buenos Aires, it's a good idea to see what will be on display on the days you visit.

Livia

Good tourist stop for clean public restroom diagonally across from the fancy cafe .

Ksenia V

Champagne bar is only on the 1st floor. If you are seating in parterre - on the ground floor they serve only overpriced nespresso. Take the stairs 1 floor up for wine and champagne !

Loli Pop

One of five greatest theatres at the world!! Love it!

Kaitlin

We paid about a dollar each to stand and watch from the top balcony . Obviously not the best view , but an incredible experience.

Diego Curutchet
