This theater is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Intricate interior, comfy seats and great viewing from all angles. More

Go by the theater during the day and see what is happening. If you are the least bit interested attend the event. Buy a ticket! Arrive early. Just seeing the inside of this old style theater will be worth the price of the ticket. I have seen films here and folkloric dances. Every time I am in Oaxaca I go... More

This theater is beautifully restored. I saw a film here as part of an independent film series, but I don't know if it matters what you see here. Just go...the gorgeous interior itself is probably worth the price of admission. More

there are a huge variety of presentations and frequently they are free. The theater is beautiful itself with many layers of box seats. It is worth it just to get in to see the theater. More

This is the main old theatre in Oaxaca and just a short walk from the very center of town. It is a very lovely piece of architecture and we wanted to see what was inside this century old theatre but that was not possible. We asked if any concerts were upcoming and we were going to be around Oaxaca for... More
