Lido Theater, Historic theater at Park of Bolívar, Medellín, Colombia.

Lido Theater is a performance hall in central Medellín, situated a short walk from Parque de Bolívar. The main auditorium has tiered seating on several levels, giving most of the audience a clear view of the stage.

Francisco Luis Moreno Ramírez funded the theatre, which opened in 1945 after two years of construction costing two million pesos; architect Federico Vásquez designed it and sculptor Marín Vieco decorated it. Materials, including the central staircase and marble, were imported from the United States. The Moreno family sold it to Cine Colombia in 1948 for 900,000 pesos. Restoration ran from 2005 to 2007, and it reopened on 21 December 2007.

The name Lido has no link to a beach or resort; the site once held a billiard hall called La Macarena. Since December 2007 the Ballet Folclórico de Antioquia has managed the theater under a public concession, and the stage now hosts choirs, poetry recitals, chamber groups, plays, oral storytelling and film forums.

The theater sits in central Medellín and is easy to reach by public transport, with several bus and tram stops nearby. It is worth checking what is on before visiting, since the program changes throughout the year.

The 2005-2007 restoration kept the original 1945 fittings: stained-glass windows, murals, woodwork, floors and mirrors. The stage was enlarged to 10 by 8 metres, adding 5 metres in depth and 2 in width, which cut seating to 1,100. The Ballet Folclórico de Antioquia has run the theatre since December 2007.
