It is located in the center of the city and was inaugurated on October 27, 1903, by the President of the Republic General Porfirio Diaz, with the representation of the opera “Aida” which was a real success. It is, without a doubt, one of the most attractive theatres in the country and recognized worldwide for its architecture and for being the setting for diverse and important international cultural events.
Construction carried out in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A preserved monument that shows the eclecticism that prevailed in the architecture of that time. Made in a Doric style that pretends to be of Roman inspiration. The façade is made up of twelve green quarry columns topped by bronze capitals, the upper part of which contains statues of eight of the nine muses. The interior of the hall is in Moorish style, with arabesques on the balconies, boxes and panels. The first stone was laid on May 5, 1873, on the site of the Temple of St. Peter, by the Diegian friars, and later the Emporio Hotel.
