The elegant period architecture of the theatre truly contributes to Oaxaca's history in art. Definitely we recommend taking a complete tour of the building.

This is a gorgeous setting for any kind off presentation. Works well for opera or ballet or just o in and take a look.

I didn´t have the oportunity to see an spectacle here but what I can tell you is that this place offers a tour Monday to Friday at 12 and 13 hours. If you are not going to be there when there is some kind of show, better to plan your schedule for this tour that is almost 100% unknown. The... More

The structure was build in 1910 - beginning of the Revolution and the end of Porfirio Diaz. Reflects Diaz's love of luxury. Small... More

It really doesn't matter what you go to see, the theatre is that beautiful. We have been to all kinds of musical events - some good, some great. They also do HD of the NY Met opera - so lots of variety.
