Argentina
Tetro Colon is an exquisite theatre gracing the widest avenue in the world, la Avenida 9 de Julio. The interior is stunning and is one of the oldest European theatres in South America. Splash out on a ticket for an opera, ballet or play or alternatively take a guided tour. The 5 peso standing only tickets are a bargain, if not a little straining on the legs, especially though a three act opera. Enquire at the box office.
The Teatro Colon is situated on the Avenida 9 de Julio, just past the Obelisk.
Similar to Covent Garden, but the best seats cost about £10. Go to any musical for the experience, or just to see the place.
