Teatro Independencia, Performing arts venue in downtown Mendoza, Argentina.

Teatro Independencia is a performing arts venue in downtown Mendoza featuring a neoclassical facade with four Corinthian columns resting on green marble bases. The interior follows Italian opera house design with four tiers of balconies, grand marble staircases, and seating for approximately 730 people.

Governor Carlos Washington Lencinas launched the project in 1922 as part of a tourism corridor along Independence Square, awarding the contract to Faustino and Mauricio da Rosa, concessionaires of Buenos Aires's Teatro Colón. Plans by architect Alfredo Israel were approved in October 1923, and the theatre opened on November 18, 1925, with the premiere of La Emigrada, an opera by librettist Vicente Martínez Cuitiño performed by the Compañía Argentina de Dramas y Comedias with Camila Quiroga. A 1963 fire led to a rapid restoration, and it reopened in 1965 with a performance by the Colón Theatre Ballet Company.

The theatre's name comes from Independence Square, along whose edge Governor Lencinas planned a tourist corridor that also produced the Plaza Hotel. Its 1925 opening night featured Camila Quiroga in La Emigrada, and the building now houses the Provincial Philharmonic Orchestra.

The theatre stands on Independence Square in downtown Mendoza, and the 2000 renovation added a five-story annex. The auditorium seats 730 across four balcony tiers, reached by grey marble steps from the vestibule. It is the home stage of the Provincial Philharmonic Orchestra.

The building combines French academic architecture with Italian opera house traditions in a style unusual for South America at that time. This mix reflects the ambition to create a European-style cultural center in Mendoza.
