Teatro Lola Membrives is a theater building on Avenida Corrientes featuring an illuminated dome, three tiers of balcony boxes, and intense red velvet seating arranged in a horseshoe shape. The auditorium holds around 1100 spectators and remains in active use for ongoing productions.
The building was constructed between 1914 and 1927, initially operating as the Smart Palace Theater before becoming Teatro Cómico. It received its current name in 1978, marking a shift in its identity and programming.
The theater hosts both national and international productions, from Broadway musicals to Argentine plays, reflecting the performing arts traditions of Buenos Aires. This blend of repertoire shapes how locals and visitors experience contemporary theater in the city.
The theater sits close to the Obelisk, making it easy to locate in the city center. The box office operates daily and staff can provide information about current shows and performances.
Eva Duarte, who later became known as Eva Perón, made her first stage appearances here before rising to national prominence. This connection adds an unexpected layer of historical significance to the venue.
