The grandiosity of Teatro Colón cannot be ignored. Whether you're walking past, zooming by in a taxi, or one of the lucky ticket holders about to go to a show - the theater's white marble and lavish details demand admiration.
Declared a historical monument by the Argentine government in 1989, the theater is a perfect representation and metaphor for the country that worked to build it. Teatro Colón offers a mix of French, German, and Italian style architecture and design, built up with not just a little turmoil and scandal, and is renowned for both its aesthetics and acoustics. Tickets can be hard to come by, but if you can get your hands on some - it is a must see while in Buenos Aires.
