Teatro El Círculo, Opera house and theatre in Rosario, Argentina.
Teatro El Círculo is an opera house and theater located at the corner of Laprida and Mendoza Streets in Rosario with seating for about 1,450 people. The building was designed by German engineer George Goldammer and displays impressive architectural details from different periods.
The theater emerged under the artistic direction of Italian artist Luggi Levoni, who decorated the interior and exterior spaces in 1904 with decorative elements. A distinctive feature is the stage curtain by Giuseppe Carmignani depicting scenes from Greek mythology.
The theater has long been a gathering place for Rosario's society and continues to shape the city's artistic life today. People come here to experience operas, ballets, and concerts that enrich the region's cultural offerings.
Visitors can join guided tours to explore the building and learn about its features, with tours lasting about one hour. It is best to check in advance whether performances are happening, as these may affect access to certain areas.
Beneath the theater building are underground catacombs that now serve as a Museum of Sacred Art. This museum displays sculptures by Eduardo Barnes, offering an unexpected glimpse into religious artwork.
