Teatro Teletón, Performance venue in Santiago, Chile
Teatro Teletón is a theatre on Mario Kreutzberger Street, near the corner of San Martín in Santiago, beside the Autopista Central and close to Santa Ana metro station. The building dates from 1974–1978 and has around 1,250 seats; its stage and seats were renovated between October 2013 and early 2014, when the old seats were replaced with non-flammable ones.
Built on Rosas Street by impresario José Aravena Rojas, the Teatro Casino Las Vegas opened on 14 April 1978. On 8 December that year it hosted the first Teletón, a 27-hour national broadcast for the Sociedad Pro-Ayuda al Niño Lisiado. The Fundación Teletón bought the venue in 1986 and renamed it Teatro Teletón; in 2002 the street stretch was renamed Mario Kreutzberger.
The street outside was renamed Mario Kreutzberger in 2002 after the television host who created the Teletón. Inside, the stage has hosted musicals such as El violinista en el tejado and Amor sin barreras, APES awards, Rojo Fama Contrafama galas and Chilean wrestling events. On 3 December 2005 Los Bunkers recorded their first live video here, presenting Vida de perros.
