This is one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world and we have had two wonderful experience there. The first was the last ballet that was performed in the theatre before the closing for restoration. The second was the fanstastic tour of the below ground facilities: rehearsal halls for ballet and orchestra, costume departments, scenery ...
This opera house is very memorable!! Fabulous acoustics, gorgeous art, a national treasure! We loved it so much we are going to return for the grand re-opening in May 2008 for the return of "Aida" which was presented at the original opening in 1908!
Everything is just so fasinating and gorgeous. I enjoyed it 'coz I love to travel!!!I think summer there is the best time to visit because it is winter over here.
Make an effort to take in an event. I saw their Philharmonic Symphony - stunning, beautiful, worth my money and time. I would go to another concert if I were to visit again.

Beyond that--go to a performance, any performance! There was a 'gala' for the ballet while we were there. We tried ...
Very few buildings can describe a great city like the Teatro Colón can do. I travelled around the world and I should say I never expected to find something so wonderful, so magic, so far away. Whenever you go to B.A. city do not forget to visit one of the greatest theatre in the world. Till that day, your journey won't be fulfill. Cheers,
