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 LuluOctober 26, 2012
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 ChoMarch 12, 2015
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.
Zoë PenmanFebruary 3, 2016
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 UlleDecember 25, 2019
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.
Lasse PedersenApril 7, 2016
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.

The most amazing theater in South America! Every single performance is outstanding, and the acoustics are awesome!
Susanne WMarch 13, 2017
Get tickets to an opera or Ballett for really cheap (5€). Not the best seats but well worth it too experience the theatre.
Yary Valiente Alvarez-MenaNovember 16, 2019
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.
Thomas KnüwerDecember 16, 2019
If you want an English tour, book early in advance - very impressive theatre.
Claudia FilthFebruary 10, 2016
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.
CatarinaAugust 9, 2015
Very nice theatre, but if you have visited European opera houses you won't be too impressed. Nevertheless worth the visit!
StaceyMarch 3, 2016
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
Abdo KassisseApril 8, 2017
Like being in Europe! Wonderful architecture. High level ballet and perfect service. Being there is a must.
Mari IsieminiMarch 25, 2016
Beautiful theatre with a good acoustics. Come in advance to spend some time in its splendid foyer.
Aran RodríguezApril 28, 2019
Truly majestic! We paid for a tour and it was worth every penny. Lasts for about 1h15min.
Alberto KañevskyJuly 28, 2017
If you love lyric music, simphony, valet or Opera.This is one of the places in the world you should visit.
TKGOApril 20, 2011
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.
Susana IrulaMay 22, 2017
Splendid. A must see if in Buenos Aires.
Clifton SalasNovember 11, 2013
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.
Sofia UzDecember 1, 2015
Worth the visit either when there's a performance or with the guided tour, beautiful decorations and architecture!
Karla RiosJanuary 7, 2018
concerts, architecture. Is very nice place to visit

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!
KaitlinAugust 10, 2023
We paid about a dollar each to stand and watch from the top balcony. Obviously not the best view, but an incredible experience.
Kerri WestOctober 26, 2016
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

It’s a must in you are visiting Buenos Aires

Beautiful feat of architecture. Would highly recommend doing the tour.
LiviaDecember 17, 2018
Good tourist stop for clean public restroom diagonally across from the fancy cafe.
Paulo RementeriaFebruary 27, 2018
The best sounding building in the worl, maybe.

The guided tours are great! If you like to buy something from the gift shop you need cash :-)

Very beautiful. Before going to Buenos Aires, it's a good idea to see what will be on display on the days you visit.
Loli PopFebruary 8, 2017
One of five greatest theatres at the world!! Love it!
Samir Fattal JaefSeptember 29, 2015
Swan Lake was awesome! The building has nothing to envy from Versailles or the Opera Garnier.
Beatrice DLDecember 26, 2018
Beautiful building!!! Amazing acoustics
Franco XavierAugust 24, 2012
This is the classical theater with the best acoustics for opera! And the biggest in capacity all over the world.
Roberto SolinasJanuary 4, 2019
Very nice and elegant theatre

Beautiful but they have to coordinate Bette the guided tours with the rehearsals
DilekAugust 21, 2018
Amazing opera house
SandroJuly 24, 2010
The acoustics are considered one of the best five in the world. Get a ticket to "palcos" avoid "terturia", "galeria" and "paraiso"

Take a tour of the Teatro Colon when you visit Buenos Aires. The "backstage" tour is incredible!
Patrick de BreeMarch 27, 2019
Magic ... there’s only one Teatro Colon
Sandra LApril 9, 2014
Alucinante, a mid century temple for the arts. #heaven #argentina
Corinna PAugust 10, 2011
Even if you can't see a show, the tour still makes for a worthwhile visit.
