I echo earlier reviews about taking a tour. I would recommend that you reserve in advance. The tour involves a lot of walking and several flight of stairs, so if you have mobility problems, you won´t be able to do it.

The tour takes you all through various workshops of the artists and supporting groups (scenery, wardrobe etc.), so it´s very interesting. One caution, the people are off work at either 2 or 3, so if you take the 3pm tour like I did, you will not be able to see the folks at work. There is a 1:00 tour and maybe another even earlier.
However, it stil is an interesting HUGE tour.
Enjoy!

Do the tour, then book a ticket and go watch a show. The productions are top-notch. You will see things that are generally too expensive to put on in the US. This was my second show at the Colon. The first time was the Symphony. Enjoyed both experiences. The Colon is truly an architectural marvel in some disrepair. But it sure is awe-inspiring.

I went on a guided tour in english of the theater and it was amazing. The cost is 12 pesos which is nothing and it is an hour and a half long with a very intelligent and well spoken guide.

The information and history that is learned is awesome.

Do not miss this while in BA.
