Teatro Nescafé de las Artes, Entertainment venue in Providencia, Chile
Teatro Nescafé de las Artes is a theatre in Providencia, Santiago, with 983 places: 979 seats and 4 wheelchair spaces. The hall was refurbished in a heritage-rescue project and reopened on 6 August 2009. Since late 2009 it has screened the Metropolitan Opera Live in HD season, transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.
The building opened in 1949 as Teatro Marconi and served as a cinema showing Hollywood films throughout the 1950s. It later evolved into a modern venue for live performances.
The venue hosts opera broadcasts, local theater productions, and international music concerts that draw diverse audiences. This mix of local and touring artists makes it an important gathering place for those interested in performing arts.
The hall seats 979 people plus four wheelchair spaces, so sightlines are good from most rows. It sits in Providencia, a short walk from the Manuel Montt metro station on Line 1. The Metropolitan Opera Live in HD screenings began in late 2009 and run as a separate series from the live concerts.
The first Caleuche Awards ceremony, Chile's prize for screen actors, was held here in January 2016. The theatre also began screening the Metropolitan Opera Live in HD season in late 2009, broadcast live from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.
