Teatro Degollado, Opera house in central plaza of Guadalajara, Mexico.
The Teatro Degollado features 16 Corinthian columns at its entrance and contains a main hall with seating for 1,027 spectators under painted ceilings.
Construction began in 1856 under architect Jacobo Galvez, and the theater opened in 1866 with a performance of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor by soprano Angela Peralta.
The ceiling displays a large mural depicting the fourth canto of Dante's Divine Comedy, created by artists Jacobo Galvez, Gerardo Suarez, and Carlos Villaseñor.
The theater maintains a chamber hall for 120 people, hosting press conferences, music lectures, and small performances separate from the main auditorium.
A gold-leafed wooden eagle above the stage holds a chain, which according to local beliefs, would cause the theater's collapse if released.
