The english guided tour is hard to book from their official online site. So my wife and I just went to the theater to try our luck second time this morning, we got our tickets over the ticket office. I had my doubt since I had been in couple of top opera houses in Vienna, but It was worth it. The internal decor is fine with baroque style since there are architect from France. The present Colón replaced an original theatre which opened in 1857. During the tour we had chance to hear female soprano rehearsal for 5 minutes which is huge bonus as I see it, then I could hear clearly pure and beautiful sound at back of the theater. I really wish I could have a chance to listen to a real opera here.

Buenos Aires's Teatro Colón is arguably the world's most spectacular opera house, offering an experience that transcends mere performance. Stepping inside, one is immediately enveloped by the stunning, opulent architecture - a lavish blend of Baroque, Renaissance, and academic styles featuring rich velvet, gold leaf, and vibrant frescoes that transport visitors to a bygone era of grandeur. However, the true marvel lies in its legendary acoustics, scientifically proven to be among the five best globally, ensuring that every note, from the softest whisper to the most powerful crescendo, reaches the audience with flawless clarity and balance. Attending any event here, whether opera, ballet, or classical concert, is a profoundly moving cultural rite that confirms the Colón's status as a beacon of artistic excellence and historical splendor.

Visited here as part of a guided tour. There aren’t many tours in English, and their timings didn’t suit my tight schedule, so I opted for a tour in Spanish. Although I couldn’t fully understand the narrative, I fully appreciated the stunning architecture, stained glass, statues etc. Everyone talks about the amazing acoustics, so the tour left me wanting to return to see a performance.
