The venerable Teatro Colon will reopen in May after three years of restoration works, with a star-studded opera calendar that includes Puccini’s La Bohème and Mozart’s Don Giovanni.
The theater opened on May 25, 1908, the Día de la patria (Motherland Day) in Argentina, with a performance of Verdi’s Aida. It quickly became a world-famous operatic venue rivaling La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera in attracting artists.
With excellent acoustics and modern stage areas, the theater’s interior design features a rich scarlet and gold decor. The cupola contains frescoes painted in 1966 by the renowned 20th century artist Raul Soldi during the renovation work.
