Teatro Municipal de Chillán, Municipal theatre in Chillán, Chile
The Teatro Municipal de Chillán stands at the intersection of Dieciocho de Septiembre and Constitución streets, near the University of Bío-Bío Extension Center.
The original theatre was destroyed in the 1939 earthquake during a screening of 'The King Without a Crown', leading to a reconstruction project by architects Ricardo Müller and Enrique Cooper.
The theatre has featured performances by notable Chilean artists including Ana Tijoux, Luis Jara, and Bombo Fica, contributing to the regional arts development.
The modern structure reaches 22.19 meters in height across four floors and contains reinforced concrete foundations with metallic trusses, accommodating 1300 spectators.
Five-year-old pianist Claudio Arrau performed his first concert at the original municipal theatre in 1908, marking the beginning of his international career.
