A modern facility of medium size.I am not fond of long sweeping auditoriums, I prefer the intimacy of 1 balcony houses,but this house isn't bad.They spent way too much money backstage for equipment you may use once every 5 years, but that is the nature of publicly funded buildings.Nice dressing rooms, good lobby space,and access to parking.

This is one of the most beautifull buildings from downtown Santiago. The paintings on the roof and the architecture were astonishing. If you go to Santiago, this is a must.

It is a jewel of a small theater, beautifully decorated in early 20th century taste. It has very good opera presentations, and also ballet and classical music. Modern ticketing system, easy to use.

The Teatro Municipal was built as an exact replica of the Opera House in Paris, France. It was modelled down so whilst it's the same building it is not the same size. This is where international singers and dancers "do their bit" If I remember correctly it has 5 levels and of course the fifth one is where cash strapped... More

Saw Ballet de Santiago perform Romeo y Juliet in this theater and it was a marvellous experience. The theater is gorgeous inside and out. A professional, metropolitan theater.
