Teatro Principal, Theater building in central Guanajuato, Mexico.
Teatro Principal stands at the intersection of Mendizabal Street and Juarez Avenue, featuring a combination of neoclassical and art deco architectural elements.
The theater opened its doors in 1788 as Corral de Comedias during Guanajuato's mining industry peak, serving as entertainment for all social classes.
The University of Guanajuato manages this theater, which presents dance performances, theatrical productions, and serves as a venue for Festival Internacional Cervantino.
Located near Baratillo square, the theater maintains regular programming throughout the year with varying ticket prices depending on the scheduled events.
After a fire in 1921, the theater underwent complete reconstruction in the 1950s, incorporating art deco elements into its traditional neoclassical design.
