Teatro Colón
"On 24 May, in commemoration of the Argentine Bicentennial, Teatro Colón, the main opera house in Latin American, reopened. The restoration work included the enhancement of interior and exterior, and technological upgrading.
The reopening began with the 3D projection on the rear facade of the theater, of a historical-musical documentary that displayed the most important moments in the history of theater.
The gala continued with a presentation of Swan Lake, by the Teatro Colón Ballet Company, and ended with one of the acts of La Bohème."
